I have had 3 Tedmans and 3 Zilco. My oldest Tedman is now about 12 years old and it has yet to have a single crack in a single strap. I do not treat it well. It gets put in the front load washing machine about twice a year whether it needs it or not, and I use oil base fly spray. Two of mine are Durawebs and one is a Tedex. The Zilco's that I had did not hold up at all. All of them cracked, one within the first year. In their defense, I understand that they have changed process some, and the ones that I have seen in the last couple years seem to be holding up better, although they are very insistant about not using oil base fly spray. The only thing I have had to replace on the Tedman was the reins. After 12 years, the rubber on the reins had worn off they didn' t have the grippy knobs anymore. Of course the Zilco ones lasted about 18 months, so the Tedman did pretty good...................... There are a couple used Tedman Duraweb pair harnesses listed on the English internet sale site, which I believe is Carriagelink.com Marjean _________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe, change to Digest or Vacation mode go to: http://www.drivingpairs.com/dpmem.shtml `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
