CUSTOMIZE THE FIT OF YOUR SADDLE
BY CHANGING the shape of your SADDLE PAD
BEGIN by assessing your saddles fit with
The Impression Pad
Once you have determined where your saddle falls short
Create a CUSTOMIZED SADDLE PAD
This is a System for Accurate, Easy Saddle Testing & Correction
Developed & Manufactured by The Port Lewis Workshop Canada
Visit our booth at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto
Want a simple, accurate way to test a saddle & make a correction?
Within one hour you can test your saddle:
(1) Locate pressure points & bridging
(2) Reshape (correct) the saddle pad (not the saddle)
(3) Retest to check the new fit (test your correction)
Do this as often as you wish whenever you are questioning fit
The Impression Pad is a tool used to determine saddle fit
As with any tool the more you use it
the more skilled you become with it
