The contoured design of these pads provide a better fit and less saddle roll, helps relieve pressure on the withers and features cut outs at the wear leathers for a close contact fit. With a 1-inch self-contouring, layered felt insert and a Merino Wool fleece bottom for added comfort, these pads are covered with a durable Herculon fabric for easy removal of burrs and multiflora rose thorns.
