Opinons on likes of dislikes of getting the leg cutout on the 5 star saddle pad.  It is supposed to fit the cinch and leg.  I am just hoping the cinch will be in the right place.

I have several 5 star pads. SOme have the cut out, some dont. I honestly can't tell much of a difference. But the cinch works fine with the cutout, its a pretty long cut so you have some room for different saddles. 

I have both and prefer the ones without the cutouts. The leather kind of warps over the cutouts. 

In the future, I’ll be ordering them without the leg or cinch cutouts. 

Thanks for you reply! 

I have a 5 star with the cutout and one without and I honesty don't notice a difference.

I dont care for the cutouts myself..

I don’t have any with leg cut outs, but have some with cinch cut outs.  I do not like them on my dropped rigging saddles, but love the pads otherwise.
