Beta BioThane (sometimes just called &#8220;Beta&#8221;) is a newer version of BioThane that uses a vinyl coating. Both BioThanes offer durability, abrasion resistance, and flexibility even in cold temperatures. They can come in a wide variety of colors, or in realistic looking natural tones. You will most likely<br \/>\nfind a synthetic saddle made from Beta BioThane due to its ability to<br \/>\nlook and feel more like traditional leather.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to abrasion resistance and cold weather flexibility, synthetic saddles made of Beta BioThane are lightweight, easy to clean simply by wiping off with a damp cloth, durable,<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t absorb water, and resist chafing. BioThane is also frequently used to make bridles, reins, dog collars, and other products.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Cordura<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cordura\u00a0is an extremely durable fabric that is resistant to abrasions, tears and scuffs. Cordura is ten times more durable than cotton duck, three times more durable than standard polyester, and twice as durable as standard nylon.<\/p>\n<p>To clean dirt, mud, sweat, etc., off of a saddle made of Cordura all that is usually required is to wipe it off with a damp cloth. If necessary, mild detergent can be used followed by a thorough rinsing (do NOT use bleach). Note: Always read and follow any care and cleaning instructions that come with a Cordura saddle over information you may find here.<\/p>\n<p>A synthetic saddle made of Cordura can come in dark, natural color tones or in a wide<br \/>\nselection of bright colors.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Equisuede<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Equisuede is a synthetic foam or suede commonly used on saddle seats or other areas. It is comfortable, does not get slippery when wet, is quick to dry, and provides a good grip for a secure ride.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Equileather<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Equileather is another material frequently used in synthetic saddles. It has a traditional, realistic, leather-like appearance.\u00a0Equileather is low maintenance (simply wipe it off with a damp cloth to remove horse hair, dirt, etc.), durable (it is abrasion resistant and can often withstand conditions that would damage a leather saddle), repels water and sweat, and remains<br \/>\nflexible in cold temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to synthetic saddles, you can often find Equileather in other products such as half chaps and boots.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"threeFour\" \/>\n<p class=\"sddlsHeading1\">You might also like:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/synthetic-english-saddles\/\">Synthetic English Saddles<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A synthetic Western saddle is a saddle made from materials other than leather.
