Hi,

Does anyone know what material the AD1000 and AD2000 pads are made of?

Thanks

I believe it's the outer hide of leather. Otherwise known as Nubuck.

NUBUCK-  "It’s easy to get confused about whether a leather item is nubuck or suede since both look and feel similar. Both types of leather are sanded to produce the velvet soft feel that is so desirable. The main difference is that nubuck is sanded on the outer surface of the leather, essentially the part that would have been the exterior skin of the animal, while suede is sanded on the inner layer of the skin."
 
Neither the AD2000 or AD1000 have leather or Nubuck pads, both are man made pads, synthetic, artificial; call them whatever you want.
 
To the best of my knowledge the AD2000 pads are ultra-soft Ecsaine.
