>>> I'm not familiar with the saddleright pad.  How would you compare it to a
thinline, or would you?



Other than the fact that both seem to offer a good deal of shock
absorption in a relatively thin pad, I don't think they are very much
alike. The Saddlerights typically (always?) have a leather top, and
either a leather or felt bottom side. My husband's Saddleright has a
suede top and a wool felt bottom, making the total pad thickness
something probably less than 1/2". The foam inside is thin, and
can't be removed for washing - not without unstitching the pad anyway.
They do seem to hold up forever although the leather can start to
look worn, and the company offers a discounted upgrade if you ever
want to trade yours in. I really don't know of another pad that's
very much like the Saddlerights.
