You don't have to be a repair person to deal with Ferree's. They deal
with the public (at least if I count! ;^)) Just give them a call and
ask for a catalog and they will send it to you. (Sorry, I'm not home
right now so I don't have the number in front of me.) They are very
nice people to deal with. (But, BTW, I don't think they have Goretex
(sp?) pads. They have another type of synthetic pad, developed by a
physicist, using cork and (if I remember correctly) some material
developed as part of the space program. It's not Goretex, though. (and
not nearly as expensive either -- I think around $35 for 100 pads in
assorted sizes).

Best regards,
