Quality Assurance

Wintec saddles are very hardwearing and are covered by a warranty for one year against faulty materials, or workmanship. Furthermore the Elastiflex Saddle Tree is warranted against breakage for the lifetime of the saddle. Warranties on Wintec Saddles are subject to use under normal conditions and provided care instructions are followed.

All materials used in Wintec saddles are subject to a series of laboratory tests and are evaluated against a stringent set of specifications during their manufacture and supply. Tests are conducted for abrasion resistance using proven "Taber Testing" equipment, UV resistance and dye ratings. Laminated materials are also tested for peel strengths, tensile and ear strengths. Testing results are written into material specifications, which are provided to all material suppliers for Wintec products. Random audits are conducted on materials to check their consistency and quality against specifications and ensure quality standards for Wintec products are met at all times.
