Thanks! |

Lol. Hubby bought me one at the end of last winter. I used it all summer. I really like the pad, however it already is breaking down. The felt layers are coming apart on one corner. The wear leathers went to crap pretty fast. If I cared to throw away a pad every other year, then I'd probably get another.... But I don't want to do that. |

| Just ordered one for my husband to rope with. Rides in a Martin Rickey Green and I have tried CSI, 5 star, ESP under it and this one works the best. Finally got a good fit under this saddle that tends to run downhill on horses. The best ever we ordered was the thick one 1 1/4". |

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | I have the chance to get one free through an awards program so was curious how they were as I haven't even seen one in person before.
Thanks- keep them coming! |

Location: Arkansas | The OG wool ones break down fairly quickly (about a year), but my KUSH pads have held up really well. |

Location: texas | I have had 2 Best Ever pads....
first one was a thin 1/2" thick, it was good no complaints....
second one I have is a 1" thick wool and added the fleece bottom to it, I love it, no complaints....
I even designed and painted my wear leathers, didn't want to spend the extra the company charges....
will try to post picas....

Location: Central Coast Cali | We have 8!!! My daughter has won 5 of those. (They are located pretty much in our back yard so a lot of our associations give them as awards) I still have one that we bought when they first kinda came out it has broken down a little but it maybe 8 years old and I use it a lot. I do like the 1" better and I do think the new style are a little better but over all we love ours and it pretty much all we have now. They are also amazing to work with on your order.

Location: Southern Indiana | I bought a 3/4" Kush and have been using it for about 2 years now. I really like how soft and light it is. They are extremely light weight, which is a big plus for me. They do fuzz up where the breast collar tugs rub. Mine is starting to compress under the saddle bars slightly. Really the only pitfall of the pads, to me, is that they just won't last years and years. I feel like after about 4 years of everyday use it will be worn and time for a new one For the durability, I wouldn't spend over $200 on one. However, I really like the pad. I just wish they would last longer and they would come on black without the $50 up-charge.
I like a bestever for the softness and how lightweight they are vs a 5 star, which I would pick for durability. |

That is the one I was thinking of getting, good to know.
I have a Diamond Wool I got a year ago and is super pilly and I haven't used it that much. |
