    I'm not certain about the jades, as I've not owned one. Maybe thin-medium thickness, somewhat stretchy and fairly grippy. (By stretchy, I mean a bit of bouncy-give, rather than sitting solid and unmoving, and by grippy I mean as opposed to being slidey or slippy).
    IT's ok as a shortie - though I found it not quite supportive enough, I think I prefer something with less 'give' in a shortie. The grippiness I don't like in a long wrap. I'm a bit fussy. I've tried too many wraps now!
    This probably makes no sense to you at all! I remember reading stuff like this about 9 months ago and thinking WTF are they on about and do they not realise it's just a bit of cloth?!

    I think they're a good wrap, actually, based on views of many, many others.

    I prefer a gira to a jade. It's a grippiness thing for me too, although I'm not much of a wrapper these days!

    Got a RS today! Love it, so easy over the bump, glad I did it. My last RS-owning experience was a Breeze, and I thought I hated RSs, but tried a friends Sweet Pea Sling, and thought I should give it another go.

    My first RS was a breeze too, boy was that a mistake! I can see how they'd work for in the water or with a smallish bub if you knew what you were doing but at the time I wasn't confident with one and my boy is a bit of a boof. I have a gira RS now that I adore, it's so easy to use and cushy

    I'm thinking about fish. Now that I've sold my Melody, I'm contemplating something for a summer ruck wrap...

    I mentioned nebbia, right? If you can get it the right length to do ruck or dh, it's perfect. It's great for either carry and very supportive.
