Location: TN | Never had a diamond wool, but LOVE my 5 stars! They are softer and easier to clean than any other felt pad I've had. Plus they fit my horse well. Horse N Around Tack on Facebook is who I ordered from. They were great to work with and had excellent prices! |

Location: Texas | It depends on what you want to spend. The Diamond pads are a lot cheaper than 5-Star and still a quality pad. |

Location: Phoenix | I've had plenty of wool pads (Classic Equine, Bayou West, Tod Slone) and the 5 Star is By far the superior choice. SO soft and has a top line contour that none of the others have. |

| Go 5 star. I personally don't think there's any comparison. |

| I have one Diamond Wool pad that I got new off of ebay cheap to use in the spring for the Hairy season.
I own four 5 Star pads.
There is hands down, NO comparison. The DW is supposedly 1 inch thick. My 1 inch 5 Star is much thicker. The DW is more scratchy, the 5 Star is soft.
