Best Bareback pad?

Question

What is the best bareback pad you have had/tried. I have looked at the reinsman contoured tacky too bareback pad, but its pretty expensive...does anyone have it? I am looking for a pad that protects my horses back(it is somewhat bony) and gives me the closeness that come wiht bareback riding.

I Will be walk/trot/cantering in it so I don't want one that slips, adn i want to have a grippy surface, but not be very expensive. Does such a pad exist? The chepaest kind are the really fleecy ones,but I have heard the slip alot and they look really cheap. I've been researching alot and I cant seem to find a happy medium between all the things I have listed.

Include links if you can

THANKS

These people sell good stuff. I have a bareback pad form them and I use it everyday. I would suggst you buy a breastplate to go with any bareback pad, as they may to slip a little when going uphill etc.
