Wintec is an Australian saddle manufacturer known for the first synthetic saddles.[1][2]

History
The company is a subsidiary of Bates Australia, originally established in 1934,[3] and is known for its innovative approach to saddle manufacturing.[2] in particular the synthetic "Wintec".[4]
Saddles
The company's saddles have two innovative features: the Easy Change Gullet System and the CAIR Panel System.[5]
The Easy Change Gullet System was designed in 1998 to help custom fit a saddle to a horse’s withers, maintaining clearance of the wither as the horse’s shape changes.[6] and help maintain a good saddle fit [7] The CAIR Panel System, an air filled panel, was developed in 2000 as an alternative to the traditional flocking in saddles,[5] and helps to evenly distribute the rider’s weight.[8][9]
