We did thousands of yards of the doubleset for commercial installations and that looks similar but thicker. The doubleset can be glued and the commercial carpet glued on top so I would bet it has good moisture barrier qualities.

For most residential houses if we did higher end carpet we used a pad called (maybe incorrectly) peppermint paddy. It was a pink and white swirl high density foam pad and would last 30+ years. All of them break down eventually and honestly if I were stretching carpet in I would replace the pad anyway.
