 In answer to your question and request for a few paragraphs 
 on how the No-sweat vent pad works--here goes....
 
 No-Sweat vent pads are 1/4-inch thick, and made of a single 
 special fiber which is looped over and over itself.  Each loop is also 
welded to itself, so the vent pad can't unravel.
 
 The fiber is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, so
 greenies can't grow on it.  The fiber is also heat sensitive
 (PATENT!) at 100 degrees F, (your horse's body temp) it softens
 and is just like an old flannel shirt to your horse--VERY comfortable.  When 
it softens, it also stretches a tiny bit, so the vent pad moves with your 
horse's muscles.
 
 Since we've got a bazillion loops in a pad 1/4-inch thick, and horse sweat 
is certainly less thick than that, the horse's sweat goes THROUGH the lower 
part of the vent pad, while the rest of
 the vent pad provides air on top of the sweat.  What do you suppose happens? 
 The air COOLS the sweat as its running 
 down the horse's side.  Yup.  In case you're wondering,
 it IS possible to read a newspaper through a No-Sweat vent pad,
 it IS about 50% holes, albeit very small holes, each one made by
 a loop.  And there's a LOT of loops.
 
 Now, that's how it works.  What do YOU get out of it?
 You get dry saddle pads--forever.  You'll never wash a 
 saddle pad again.
 
 AND--your horse gets a very cool back, no matter how hard
 you ride.
 
 Do you wash it?  If you want to--just throw it over a 
 fence and spray it with the hose.  That's it--it's clean.
 No scrubbing, no wash machines, no more horse hair in
 your underwear.
