An antibacterial, anti-static and shine-enhancing polyester lining ensures a shiny coat and healthy skin, while a 100g thermobonded fibrefill offers superior heat retention.
The V-front closure and Surefit neck design eliminate pressure on the shoulder so it doesn’t rub, for more comfort while your horse is grazing. Dual leg arches offer freedom of movement and maximum belly coverage.
The three surcingle safety clip system can withstand 100kg of pressure, but breaks in the event of an emergency.
