Chevaroo Seat Savers and Padded Underwear

[Equestrian24]

I keep seeing ads for Chevaroo seat savers, which look like they would fit my Western and English endurance (Collegiate Marathon, 18.5") saddles well. The site claims that they can be used on all types of saddles. For my hunt seat saddles, I absolutely love the Mattes and ThinLine (I like to use the Mattes over the top of the ThinLine for added shock absorption), but I’d like to find something to fit the Western and English endurance saddles.

I’m also interested in the padded underwear for long-term comfort in the saddle, as I don’t have a lot of natural padding of my own. I’ve dealt with sore seatbones my entire life and have heard about people using padded bicycle underwear for this. For those who have used those, how do they work for you?

Has anyone tried the Chevaroo stuff, and if so, what do you think of it? I’m not familiar with the company at all.

Running Bear used to make riding tights with padding and I found a pair used at a yard sale. I wore then once to ride and hated them as I turned into a sweaty mess. Maybe would work better in the winter?

I have a thinline seat saver on the Pandora saddle, which my seatbones finds comparable to sitting on a 2x4. It does help. The Chevaroo looks a lot more substantial in terms of thickness, but I have never heard of them or seen one.
