CASHEL TUSH CUSHION Aussie Style Saddle Seat Pad Australian Black Trail Riding

Description: The same careful engineering as the original Cashel Tush Cushion but makes the aussie model a lot less painful. Made with their famous closed cell foam, this cushion will not collapse. It will not bunch up, absorb or hold heat. The Aussie Tush Cushion helps keep you comfortable on those long, hard days in the saddle.Size: 13" x 9" Color: Black Pad Thickness: 1/2"(additional information to help our customers. Pictures provided by the manufacturer. Please note some shadowing in the picture may make it look thicker than it is; this cushion is 1/2" thick which was determined to be the optimal thickness for comfort w/o becoming to bulky which would make you feel unstable and wobbly in the saddle. How the cushion fits inside your saddle will vary depending on the size of your saddle) - Ride close contact in comfort - Will not compact or bunch up like fleece seat savers - Does not absorb and hold heat like a gel pad - More hidden than other pads, so others can't see it when in use. - Brand rated Number 1 by John Lyons’ PERFECT HORSE May 1998 - 1/2" thick padding provides padding but not so thick you loose that close contact feel. This cushion is specifically constructed to perfectly fit an Australian saddle. Longer fender attachments pull the cushion flat across the seat to give you padding just where you need it. The perfect fit with no left over bulk. Made with the same closed-cell foam as the popular Cashel Cushion™ saddle pads and will not collapse or give the way open-cell foam can. The saddle is not included... the cushion on the saddle is what is for sale. Common Questions: Why do I get such a sore tush while I am riding but the soreness goes away if I get off and walk a few minutes? When you ride, much of your weight exerts pressure on your hamstring tendons where they attach to the lower part of your pelvis, compressing them between your pelvic bones and the hard saddle and causing a painful impingement. This pain can often be reduced when you dismount and walk a bit. Walking restores the circulation and relieves the impingement. The high quality closed-cell foam (please see Closed-Cell Foam information below) inside this Cashel Tush Cushion cushions the top of your saddle so that this tendon impingement is reduced, making your ride significantly less painful! In addition, your Tush Cushion will help avoid the bruising that occurs when you first ride after not having ridden for a while. Why would I need to use a tush cushion if my tush does not hurt now? Even if you are not currently in pain while riding, the impact and jarring generated by riding is causing wear and tear on your spine and hips. Archeologists exploring ancient royal grave sites in China can tell the age of the cavalry officers by how worn down their pelvic bones are! Using your Tush Cushion will help keep you in the saddle years down the road. Don't understand how this compares to other cushions on the market -- let me help!! The Tush Cushion uses CLOSED-CELL FOAM.... What is the difference between open-cell foam and closed-cell foam? Open-cell foam is absorbent like your kitchen sponge because the spaces or cells are constructed so that water and air can flow through easily. While making great sponges, open-cell foam is ineffective as a cushioning material because it tends to collapse down to nothing when weight is applied. Open-cell foam is often touted because it "breathes" i.e. allows air to pass through easily. Unfortunately, once the air cells have absorbed sweat or have collapsed under pressure, this "breathing" no longer occurs. Closed-cell foam is constructed so the cells are encapsulated like the cells of a beehive, making it difficult for water or air to pass through easily. Closed-cell foam is a superior material for cushioning as it will compress but not collapse completely. Cashel has used the same unique closed-cell foam (originally designed for the aerospace industry) since 1986. This durable closed-cell foam does not absorb sweat, moisture or bacteria so that it is easy to clean and will not rot or smell if hosed off after use. CLOSED CELL vs GEL Why are Cashel closed-cell foam products better than gel Products? We feel that Cashel closed-cell foam is a better material for cushioning than gel for several reasons: 1) With the constant impact/wear and tear generating in riding, we believe that gel consistency eventually breaks down and become more liquid. This would make the gel move away from the point of impact more quickly, thus reducing its ability to cushion. Cashel closed-cell foam maintains its therapeutic cushioning abilities for years. Cashel states that they know of trainers that have used the same Cashel closed-cell foam saddle pad for over ten years without any loss of cushioning benefits. 2) Gel products weigh significantly more than Cashel closed-cell foam products. 3) In that they are filled with a liquid, gel pads absorb and retain heat. Cashel closed-cell foam does not. 4) Gel products cannot be sculpted, beveled, or wedged the way Cashel products can, limiting gel pads' custom therapeutic uses. 5) Gel products are typically significantly more expensive than the same product made by CAshel.
