We have lots of Diamond Wool pads, they're the best bang for the buck. My husband has a few Classic Equine zone pads for in the arena. Beautiful and works well with the zoombang inserts about the same $ as 5 star but so worth it.
He didn't say say "felt" is a problem. He said synthetics can be a problem (gel, neoprene etc). Felt isn't a fiber. Felting is a process by which wool or synthetic fibers are smushed together. Now, he does like the Classic Equine wool top pad which has a layer of "orthopedic felt" next to the horse. It's a wool blend, but he doesn't say what the blend is, it could be wool/cotton or wool/rayon or something else, so he's kind of contradicting himself here as far as wool purity is concerned LOL. But going back to your point, he doesn't advise against felt.

I appreciate your tack tips.
Diamond wool is all I’ll use.
Hi
100% on the wool
Agree with you 100% felt can/will begin to rub a horse sore once the dirt and sweat compiles. THXS

What do you think about impact gel pads?
I’m sure they have a purpose in the arena and show ring. But I only use wool or sometimes a synthetic wool.
