Technical features

Made with high quality materials, easy to use, worn like a normal blanket, provides great protection and comfort.

This new technology is meant as a total safeguard of the horse’s health, specifically to avoid the sedation of horses during transport, which is usually done to minimize movements in order to avoid injury.

It adheres perfectly to the body following every movement without constraint. The composing materials are able to absorb intense levels of shock and impact. Fully adjustable via multiple areas of attachment in Velcro.

Due to the composition, totally devoid of PVC (polymerizing vinyl chloride) and toxic materials, the body armor ensures, in a natural and physiological way, a consistent body temperature while allowing continuous transpiration. It helps to transmit any moisture preventing your horse from overheating. The external casing is made of a high-tech artisan fabric with thermoformed quilting that provides great beauty and refinement.

It is equipped with a hinge for removable covers that are machine washable. The high-tech artisan fabric, due to its natural characteristic, is devoid of any artificial chemicals that could migrate to the animal. Hypoallergenic, it does not develop physiological dust and making it naturally insect resistant.

The inner padding is in perforated and thermoformed Flexfoam of very high lift, naturally antibacterial, resistant to streptococcus, staphylococcus, and antidecubitus because of its breathability. Nontoxic. The inner lining, soft and nice to feel, is characterized by a cavity that creates total breathability since it allows the natural airflow.
