RE: RE: Reactorpanel saddle

["Kathy Mayeda" <kathy_mayeda@atce.com>]

The quilted one retained too much moisture next to the skin and the panels
cover such a large area of the back.  The pad would be totally soaked by the
end of a short ride.  Too much heat and moisture buildup.  I just didn't
think it would be good over the long run.

At least the wicking of the wool would carry some of the moisture away from
the skin.  But I was referring more to saddle fit than the pad itself.
Since the wool is thicker, the panel configuration had to be modified.
Wasn't aware of that until I took the saddle off after my first 50.

I'm looking into getting that Tucker liner thingy.  That actually may be the
ticket to my dilemna.  Seems to work for Michelle!  Thanks for the tip
Michelle!

So I'm curious as to why you went to the wool-backed pad rather than the
quilted?  Were you guilty of fixing something that wasn't broke or was
there another reason?  Lif
