The quest to find a decent sheepskin/ riser

[taracrowe]

Hi.. I want rack all of your branis, lol, does anyone know any wool half pad/risers that the wool doesnt start like clumping together like it has dreadlocks after the first couple of washes?? I don't mind if it has gel in it or not!! Thanks

I love my Le Mieux Lambskin Half Pad, only washed a few times but has kept its shape. i LOVE it

My Stephens lambskin one is coming up to 6 years old now and comes out of the washing machine each time looking like new. No clumping at all. The cotton part has faded, but that's the only way you'd know it wasn't new.

I've had a couple of le mieux pads, wash & dry brilliantly,never gone clumpy & after washing,once dry, I whizz in dryer to fluff up.

Another vote for Le Mieux(sp?)

Le mieux but remember to coat the sheepskin in cheap hair conditioner, stops the wool matting and adds years to them

LeMieux - highly recommend. As above - smother in loads of hair conditioner and I put mine through the hand wash option on my washing machine. It comes up lovely!

Bartl all the way. Much preferred it to my LeMieux. Struggle to find them in stock in a sensible colour though.

Ihh sound cool are the Lemieux more reasonably priced than the gel eze ones? I really like the look of both!!

Mattes - well worth the money. I find LeMieux are really too soft to provide as much concussion absorption, I was prefer the shim system on the Mattes pad (watch out for videos I've made on how to use them, soon to be seen on YouTube!) and I've never heard of problems with the sheepskin (shedding, seams in it) from my customer unlike every other brand, and I do mean every other brand - at least one customer has had problems with them.

Its the equivilant to Bartl apparrently - i think Bartl stopped doing them? x

I might have a 20% off code as well somewhere on my emails. I washed mine about 6 times so far in the washing machine on a 30 degrees - which it recommends and it is still as new condition.
