So I am looking for a new affordable half pad and this one caught my eye. It seems great, but I just wanted to see if anyone has it or has had any experience with it. Opinions?

Does this one seem any better?

I just bought the Pink Equine pad and it is really top quality. Nice and thick. Definitely worth the money.
I have the Roma Half Pad
It’s not as thick as some of the more expensive pads but was in my price range and has turned out to be durable and works perfect for me. I’ve had it for around three years now. Ride 3-4 times a week in it.
FYI - the Roma pad (I have one) is a bunch of small pieced of sheep skin sewn together, and is much much thinner then a Mattes pad. Its okay under my one saddle that fits snug, but otherwise I use a Mattes pad (bought at a tack sale for $30!).
The “pink” pad says it is one piece - that would be a selling point for me.
I actually bought the Pink Equine pad to replace my Roma. The Pink Equine pad is much thicker and nicer.
