looking for opinions on Toklat Coolback saddle pads

Here is the english AP one I'm considering:
Toklat Coolback XL All Purpose Saddle Pad Contoured

Does anyone own and/or use one of these (or one of the western or Aussie ones)? Do you like it? Does your horse?

My horse and I don't got on trail rides that are hours and hours long and we certainly aren't competing in endurance rides, but because he's older I'm wondering if he might appreciate the cushy-ness of one of these pads.

Thank you, Dustbunny. My saddle fits my horse well, but I am just wondering if he'd enjoy some extra cushioning. You know, like the difference between wearing sneakers and dress pumps. I own a nice pair of comfy well-fitting dress pumps, but they'll never be as comfy as a pair of sneakers.

Woolback

I love my Toklat Woolback. I prefer natural fibers over synthetic. Is there a reason you want Coolback vs Woolback? IMO the Woolback is better for heat dissipation, cushions better, and stays where you put it. The Coolback is very nice compared to other synthetics though, but you can't beat real natural fibers.

Strangely enough I have a little more to add to this thread now :P

I got what a seller referred to as the "ugly white fluffy pad" for free when I ordered a couple of other items, and it turns out that it's a Toklat CoolBack pad, like listed. It looks super old and well-used (I guess ugly describes it, but I don't mind!), but it looks to have held up well to all of the abuse that its seen. It's also at least a couple of inches thick, just so you know. Unfortunately probably too thick for me to get much use out of it, but you can't beat the price of free...

Ok so I didn't add much, but I thought it was a kind of funny coincidence.
