not a fan of the stud closure
These converters help keep one rein instead of two. Less fumbling around. But the stud closure is difficult to use. I prefer a converter with buckles. I will be returning this one if I can get around to it. Great price!

Correct pricepoint
I was a little disappointed that SmartPak only carries one brand of bit converters. That being said, they do their job sufficiently. They are not made of high quality leather (which could be inferred from their price) and required a bit of conditioning. They also maintain a reddish tint and the black trim found at the seems of the leather looked like it was put on a little sloppy. I would recommend them if you are not picky or in a bind, but I will be looking for another pair for my show bridle.

Difficult to attach!
I bought this to simulate double reins on a kimberwicke bit. I soaked them in oil but they were so stiff I could barely bend them around to attach the second side. The trainer had a set with a buckle attachment which made it very easy to take on and off.

Kind of funky
I bought these being the only choice I had. When they arrived I was excited to see how they looked. Well lets just say in the least I was disappointed, the color was kind of like a LIGHT LIGHT brown almost orange . I'm hoping that oil will fix them right up! As for the quality of the leather is seems fair, very stiff out of the package.

Worth the price
Firstly, I would have liked more choices for this type of product. Having this as the only choice forced me into buying because it is something that I needed.
Secondly, I needed this in black for my dressage bridle, so the bright brown color is not desired, personally.
Thirdly, these are so thick, stiff, and cumbersome, too large to stay out of the way. They are clumsy in staying in place on the bit and made me feels as if they were holding the shank of my Pelham at an odd angle because they were too large and stiff to fit the correct angle.
They also already have a small rip/tear in the material from one ride.
If you need them to carry one set of reins, they will work, And are very affordable, but may not be quite as sensitive as some riders may find necessary to communicate with your horse with any sort of nuance. I will keep them for students, but am buying curb reins.
