Nylon latigo and off billet vs. leather?
Again…a matter of preference! Leather is stronger, but also thicker…and because it is a natural fiber, it can stretch a little. Our leather latigos do now come with holes punched so you can buckle them to the cinch. The nylon is a little thinner, washable and holds a little tighter because it doesn’t stretch. The nylon latigos do have holes also. My personal preference is to have a leather off billet and a nylon latigo. The leather off billet is tougher and more heavy duty on the right side of the horse…while I prefer the easier to handle, less stretch of the nylon latigo on the left where I cinch the saddle.
