I want to purchase a pair of no bow standing wraps and have been reading reviews. It seems every brand has good and bad reviews.
Unfortantely, Back on Track is out of the question unless I can find a good deal on them.
Any brand recommendations?
Tolkat brand is pretty good.
I like the ones with horizontal seams. Just bought the ones Dover sells and have been pleased with them.
You might look at Wilkers. I personally prefer the combo quilts, but they make no-bows as well.
Also, The foam in the Back on track ones does not hold up well over time. Everyone I know has very flat wraps. Might as well be the old thin quilted things as far as padding goes.
I have a pair of Vacs and love them. They wash up nice too

I like them a lot better than the CoolMax ones I ordered from SmartPak.
My BoT no bows have held up very well through months of daily wrapping as well as more usual less frequent use. I like Vacs no bows, but when I was dealing with long term wrapping for extensor tendon injuries I used Greenhawk’s Shedrow brand no bows. I wore a couple of sets out, but they were economical and stood up well to the daily use and frequent washing.
I have had good luck with the Dover Brand. The stitching is horizontal. Don’t know if they still own their Western store (Smith Brothers??) but they were a couple of bucks cheaper there. Because, you know, English riders have more money.
Adding that I have ordered a few items from Four Star (post #5) and have had great customer service from them.

I agree - I have been pleased with the durability of the BoT standing wraps.
I’ve had a couple pairs of Dover’s brand for between 10 and 15 years and they’ve held up well. If they ever die I’ll buy them again.
