Any advice on these pads? Going to buy one or the other in the next few days.

I have a Skito Dryback which I LOVE and have used for the last two years. (Bought from RP Saddle Company).
You can use it without inserts, with the memory foam insert, with the felt insert or with both inserts. I wash it in the washer on gentle cycle and keep it fluffed up with a dog slicker grooming brush.
Have not tried the other kind.
If you have other questions, you can email me serazzima @ hotmail . com (remove spaces).

Hi Scott

what kind of saddle are you buying it for? I had a skito dryback & equipedic ( liked both -liked the skito slightly more) for my treeless - however with my treed saddles ( you can use skito for treed saddles as well of course. Smile

)) I love wool pads- good quality ones .Also have a HAF pad which is great as you can hose off the underside of it.

If using a wool pad I recommend a Dixie Pad or something like that , for underneath so you can hose that off instead of washing your pad a lot as that is hard on the pad and when they are $200 + each it is nice if they last. Smile

I have a Bob Marshal sport saddle. Thank you for the advice I went ahead and bought a Skito dryback today. WoW $$$$$ I am sure it will be worth it though in the long run.
