The Supracor and the EquiFlex Sleeves both come highly recommended by Funder, so the latter is on my to-buy-SOON list and I'm still pondering whether a Supracor might be a good second pad for us. Mostly I'm worried that it'll be thinner than the Woolback and might negatively affect saddle fit as a result. If I can find one endurance-shaped inexpensively, I'm now even more inclined to give one a try.Figurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344675725634191104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-25057797901967944192014-10-16T18:03:22.246-04:002014-10-16T18:03:22.246-04:00Well I read this and immediately thought "tha...Well I read this and immediately thought "that sounds better" plus I was planning on making my own custom covers anyway... maybe I'll do some ebay digging and see what I can find.SheMovedtoTexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062200290148658096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-9397257421414294192014-10-16T15:12:19.243-04:002014-10-16T15:12:19.243-04:00You're welcome!

I don't care for them because they don't have the structure required to displace concussion effectively, (if you squish one, your hand goes to the bottom of the pad) and being memory foam, they're going to trap heat under the pad. I think Ogilvy rocketed in popularity because they're so customizable, and who doesn't like all the pretty things, right? Haha. I wish I could get Ogilvy covers for my Supracor, but the Supracor is the better pad in my opinion, so I'll take my plain quilted/fleece cover.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-74472433958522518242014-10-16T11:32:39.085-04:002014-10-16T11:32:39.085-04:00Oh this is interesting!
