Are pads needed underneath exercise polos? and other q's

[rowy]

Just bought some exercise fleece polos for my horse and people have told me i need fibergee/ pads underneath.
However, i surfed some of the web and lots of people said that pads underneath polos make them too bulky?
If so does anyone have any climatex pads and how are they?
Also how do you fit them? can you cut them to size? are they meant to be the length of the canon bone and not over lap width ways?

Feeling a little confuzled. thanks for any help

I'm not sure about this either. I was told the elasticated polo bandages you do but fleece ones you dont.

But I have seen some John Whitaker bandages which have lining on the inside so you dont need a pad under them!

I have never put pads under my fleece polos ?!

I'm with Jojo_, I thought it was padding under elastic ones and not fleece.

I agree padding under elastic bandages but not fleece ones. I have some Roma badages that have a padded bit and then an elastic part, love them. Best of both worlds

I've always though padding under elastic, fleece you can go without.
If you have bandages that are half fleece half elastic you bandage the fleece bit first so that it's underneath.
