Technologies/Materials:
Woolback® virgin knit-wool fleece is resilient, durable pile material offering superior moisture wicking and heat dispersal with high breathe-ability, concussion protection and comfort. Woolback fleece is natural white in color.
Linear Quilt ETC™ Fabric provides a non-slip, anti-friction surface for a secure and stable saddle position while the linear quilt pattern passes moisture and heat readily through the lightweight batting creating exceptional heat dispersal and breathability.
Ergonomic Design features inserts with a longer front to complement the natural contour of the horse's shoulder to provide a custom fit that supports muscle development without interfering with important muscle groups.
T3 Matrix Bio-Kinetic Inserts are a part of the T3 System: an innovative approach that integrates the latest ergonomic research with the most popular time-tested features. T3 marks a major transition in the design of products for the art, sport and science of equestrian performance. These products are systematically engineered for comfort, style and performance from the inside out, using new insights into the dynamics of equine physiology.

Comments: I have used Skito, Equipedic, Haf, Supracor, and other Woolbacks and I think this is my favorite pad of all. I get the extra thick inserts and I have two of them. I highly recommend these. They stay put (after the first handful of rides), they keep the back pretty cool and dry, and they have plenty of padding. I love them. I am currently riding in a ReactorPanel but I've used them with other types of saddles, too.

Comments: I first bought this in black (coolback), endurance model, then later coughed up enough to buy a second one in brown, and aside form my Christ pad, I don't ride in ANY other pads now. The inserts are terrific on our distance horses, and I could swear I feel a little extra cushion in my joints when trotting. The pads under up easily, and the inserts are easy to put in or take out. In the 25 plus years I have been in distance riding, this is possibly the best pad I have ever had. Another plus - the rolled edges with cutout help keep the saddle in place without putting bulk under the legs. I wish they didn't cost so much, but of course, this is the very best price on these - and they are worth every penny!

Comments: I love this saddle pad! It is thick but not too bulky. The wool is very soft and not scratchy. Keeps my horse dry! Best part is the inserts that can be bought to go inside. They are perfect for my horse and seem like something I'd like to be sitting on all day! I have gotten so many compliments on the pad. Love RW and the fast shipping!

Comments: I have two of these and if I could swing it, would have another. They are top notch, and I no longer have trouble with the pad sliding out from under the saddle. Toklat is a top product, the inserts are perfect, and RWH is the BEST shop to deal with. Now I have a Diamond Wool and two Matrix pads from RWH and am delighted with them all. Thanks gang!

Comments: I bought this pad after my horse was getting a friction rub from a new saddle. The pad took care of the problem the saddle was causing. It is a great pad. I got rid of the saddle but now use the pad with my new saddle and it keeps my horses back in great shape.

Comments: Jeremy and I have been using the Matrix pad on our whole herd and have been extremely satisfied. The pads dry quickly and are the first pad that actually do what is advertised, keep the back cooler! Our 10 endurance horses all have happy backs. Riverwatch and A Kutt Above were proud to wear their Matrix pads at the 2012 World Endurance Championship race in Thetford, England and were on the USA Team which placed 4th.

Comments: Since using the Matrix pads our horses performance has excelled. Our horses are moving more free, staying cooler in the topline, and their fatigue is at a much lower rate. The Matrix pad is the ONLY way to go to excell in our sport!
From: Ellen and Jeremy Olson, Noslo Endurance
Comments: I ordered this pad for my specialized saddle to use for training sessions for my endurance horse. I do not love it because it is big... it is way to long and pretty bulky... it would maybe work for a bigger horse... but not for a 15hh arabian... it is soft, and doesn't slip if you put it on correct - its just too long for my saddle and horse i guess.
