Dura-Tech® Anti-Slip Support Gel Pad

The Dura-Tech Anti-Slip Gel Pad has a spine length of 21" and is designed to fit most English saddles. Customers report it works well underneath a variety of saddle styles, and many use it successfully with both trail riding and showing saddles. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific saddle, we recommend measuring your saddle's spine length before ordering.

The Intelli-Gel® Technology features a gel grip surface that creates friction between your saddle and the pad, keeping it secure without being overly sticky. Customers consistently report that it eliminates saddle slide, especially in challenging situations like going uphill on flat-backed horses or during lessons and shows. The gel works effectively over or under an additional saddle pad as well.

Yes—the pad is designed with your horse's comfort in mind. The 1/4" thick gel absorbs shock while the ventilated design allows the skin to breathe, preventing heat buildup. Multiple customers report their horses seem happier and more comfortable with this pad, and one reviewer noted it offers more padding than competitive brands like Nunn Finer.

The pad is very easy to clean—customers report you can simply spray it down with a water hose to rinse away dirt and sweat. The gel material is durable and low-maintenance, with one customer noting they used their original pad for nearly 10 years before needing a replacement. Regular rinsing will keep it fresh and ready for your next ride.

The Dura-Tech Anti-Slip Gel Pad works effectively either way. Many customers use it on top of their regular saddle pad for added grip and shock absorption, while others place it directly under the saddle. This flexibility allows you to customize the setup based on your horse's needs and your preferred riding style.

The Dura-Tech Anti-Slip Gel Pad is built to last—multiple customers report using their pads for many years before needing a replacement. One reviewer kept the same pad for nearly 10 years and recently purchased a new one, which speaks to the long-term durability and value of this product. The gel grip remains effective even with regular use.

Yes, customers specifically report success with forward-sliding saddles. One reviewer with a fit issue was able to resolve forward saddle slippage while researching new saddle options, and another solved the problem of their saddle sliding forward during lessons on their horse. The anti-slip gel grip is designed to prevent movement in all directions.

The Dura-Tech stands out for its combination of Intelli-Gel® Technology, shock-absorbing gel, and ventilated design that keeps your horse comfortable.
