The Mattes Gold  Half Pad is made from the same design and high quality materials as the sheepskin pads. Instead of full sheepskin panels, the GOLD pads are made with high loft, dense, 1 1/4" long wool on a fabric backing. The front trim is sheepskin. This spine free half pad absorbs energy and bounce for extra comfort.

MATTES uses high quality cotton/polyester blend quilted fabric. The core of the half-pad is made of two layers: POLY-FLEX® (a deep-needled polyester felt) is used to maintain the shape and spread the pressure, while polyester wadding provides padding. We completely avoid foam, neoprene or gel, making the whole pad breathable.

MATTES® lambskin items should be washed frequently. Correct care and washing (see MATTES® special MELP detergent) is very important and will provide you with many more years of enjoyment from your product.

These pads are more spendy but they do last a very long time. Great quality
