| I'm new to CSI pads but was curious who has used the old ones with the PVC liners and what you liked or didn't like about them or if you had any problems with them? How do they compare to the new wool liners? Any advice is greatly appreciated!! |

| Thanks for your opinion. I personally prefer wool myself but I just bought one used with the PVC liner and called and talked to them about it and they said they didn't have any problems with them so I was just curious what people who have actually used them had to say. |

Thank You! Did you have any problems with the PVC liner causing problems like some neoprene pads do? I had one once that didn't "breathe" so when it was hot out it caused a lot of problems. |

I was a dealer for CSI at the same time they quit selling the Closed Cell Foam liners. The reason Donna quit selling them was due to the fact she was unable to obtain the high quality grade foam material that they were made from, and didnt want to use a substandard material. They also would display signs of breakdown faster than the wool felt liners.

Yep, I was also going to mention that. |

Location: Texas | I have had a pvc one and now I have a wool one. I liked the old one fine but it tended to slip more than the wool one does. |

Location: IL | I just bought a used CSI pad that had the PVC liner. It's still in pretty good condition for being used but I'm going to have to get a wool replacement liner. My OTTB mare loathes that PVC liner. So my CSI pad is sidelined until I can get a new liner for it... |
