I have a 39" Elite, and love it. I think it was 2.5 lbs when I bought it, and it spins much nicer than the Ultimate I used to have. The neck is also considerably smaller which appeals to me. Personally, I dislike 36s, and as someone already mentioned, 39s are pretty standard among independent winterguards.

This is where I bought mine, and the thin leather strap has held up very nicely. My friend got one with the thick strap, and it only got in the way and was very quickly stretched out to the point where she ran out of notches. Now, she just has a very loose strap.
