Re: RC: saddle pads

[MtnRondi@aol.com]

I have a Synergist and have used the woolback barrel pad. The saddle slipped 
a lot when mounting with that pad and I also didn't like the thick feeling 
(it is single thickness) I had always loved the pad with other saddles, but 
not with my Synergist. I had Toklat make me a pad using the barrel pad 
pattern but with a cotton quilted underside and a codura type top side. On 
the underside I had a pocket put on so that I could insert the large Equigel 
cushion pad and it is the very best pad I have ever used. Since the Synergist 
saddle fits him so well, a thick pad is unnecessary. The Equigel pad gives 
just the right amount of cushion... sort of like putting gel inserts into 
your favorite hiking boots.
