Gel pad
 
im going to be sculpting me new seat when it arrives and want to put a gel pad in there before its gets its new covers, Ive been advised that the gel pads that horse riders use in their saddles are pretty good has anyone ever used an equine one or can you recommend me something for my delicate nether regions ;)

Don't bother! I did this, but the result was harder than the standard offering. The wrist rests I bought had a hard plastic base that you couldn't remove unless you wanted to be sticky-messed to death. So I left them in... So, unless your gel pad is gel all the way through, I wouldn't waste your money.

How I did it. And yes it was and still is a lot better. I got my wrist rests from work which were to be thrown out. :p

Did they have a hard base? The two I bought did and as I mentioned earlier, it wasn't a success for me, as a result.

Thats why Im thinking of the horsey type ones cos of the extra pummelling horse riders give there saddles, will have to have a think cos I want to get it right before it gets a the job done on it.
