Hi, Michelle.

Skito and Toklat both make RP pads now, available through RP.  I 
tested the prototype Skito pads at the Geo Bunbuster ride this 
weekend, with their great poly-wool blend, cordura tops.  Purple, of 
course, with the wear pad in black.  Very festive.  Her back was very 
cool when we finished the ride (50) in 6 hrs, 20-something minutes.
