Do any of you have a medium or an extra large original pad that you could take some measurements of for me? The website only gives length, but the measurements I really need are the ones across the front and the narrowest point. I currently have an Acavallo large pad under my saddle and my lad seems happy with it but I'm worried that with how it fits on my saddle it may cause pressure and would like one that is wider but not an unshaped one. Or tell me I'm worrying unnecessarily and save me some money! I'll hopefully attach a photo so you can see what I mean, the problem is the saddle has wider than normal panels making the fit look wrong to me.

Can't seem to attach image, will try as a reply but I'm a technological idiot!

I have a large vip pad under my 171/2 / 18 inch saddle. They are so thin it wouldn't cause saddle to fit differently or cause pressure points.

If you email them or message them on facebook they are really helpful! I'm sure they will give you the measurements - mine is a large aswell and it fits under both my 17.5 & 18 inch saddles!

Basically the gel pad doesn't cover the width of the panels and I worry this is creating a pressure ridge.

LegOn all they've given me is the length which isn't the measurement I need, it's the width that's the problem since my saddle has wider than normal panels. The Acavello is fine lengthwise but the gel pad is significantly narrower than the saddle except at the back.
