Saddle Pads! Welcome to Skito, home of the original Skito Equalizer™ and the Skito Dryback® Saddle pad. Skito orthopedic saddle pads are built to suit your specific saddle fitting needs. We make a pad for every saddle made. If we don't have it we will make it.  Foam density is a key in regards to comfort, support and durability. We offer two types of density one for light to mid weight range and one that will support a heavier weight range. For the Treeless Saddle advocate, all of our foam inserts are beveled to eliminate pressure points and allow your leg to lay closer to the animal. Skito has also developed laminated foam inserts for spinal protection, Lexan inserts for penetrating seat bones. And the Skito Shim System developed to fill those dips and hallows at the withers and spine to help achieve a "better balanced fit" when riding Treeless, Western, English, Aussie, custom saddles and riding with a bareback pad.  We are a phone call away and we look forward to building a saddle pad that will achieve a better saddle fit that will provide protection and comfort your equine partner. If you would like to place an order please e-mail us at tom@skito.net or contact us the old fashioned way at 800.292.6442.

DRYBACK
®” is an Equalizer Saddle Pad by Skito that is constructed to release heat and moisture from the large back muscle to the atmosphere. Air flows between the saddle and saddle pad thanks to the addition of 3M™ Nomad™  matting to the top of the saddle pad.  Simply put,
the exclusive Skito wool efficiently wicks the heat-laden perspiration to the open cell foam insert, which acts as a dense sponge pulling moisture and heat away from the animal to the surface of the pad.  In the past the heat and moisture stopped in the top layer of the saddle pad because the saddle became an obstacle to transpiration. The addition of Nomad™ matting enables air to flow under the saddle to evaporate the moisture and dissipate the heat normally trapped against the saddle.   sadd

Every Skito Saddle pads has a Velcro Opening. 
Front load, Rear load and Top load and it  refers to the placement of the Velcro opening.

What is a "Front Load"? It's designed for both Treeless and Treed saddles.
The pad opening is in the front of the pad.


 What is a "Top Load" opening is directly above the spine and is used for treed saddles only!
Skito will never recommend a top load opening pad for a treeless saddle!

Nomad™  is an open vinyl loop construction matting produced by 3m™  for building entrance foot traffic. The durability to withstand thousands of footsteps assures that Nomad™ will withstand the rigors of saddle impact and wear.  The thickness of the matte and looseness of loop provides maximum airflow to facilitate evaporation. Added benefits of nomad™ are shock absorption and reduced slippage between the saddle and saddle pad.
