This extremely strong and shock absorbing Air Tech Eventing Boot offers the best protection and comfort for your horse during the cross country.The Air Tech Eventing Boot exists out of 5 layers. On the inside there is a very breathable knitted lining which ensures a soft feeling against the skin and therefore prevents rubs. This lining also prevents the boot from slipping or turning. The second layer exists out of 5mm thick EVA foam. This material is extremely light and shock absorbing and offers a lot of stability to the boot as well as your horse’s leg.This EVA foam is perforated with ventilation holes to allow the heat to escape so the legs don’t overheat. The third layer is a 2mm thick TPU hard shell that stops the largest impact and prevents penetration from horse shoes or studs. On the front of the hind leg we added another layer of 5mm thick EVA foam to provide extra protection when touching a jump.The outer layer is made out of perforated artificial leather. The tiny ventilation holes prevent the leg from overheating. The material doesn’t absorb water which allows the Air Tech Eventing Boots to maintain their light weight. Therefore they can enhance the performance and contribute to the comfort of the horse during these long, hard cross country courses. On the side of the fetlock we added a seem to ensure a perfect fit and the Air Tech Eventing Boots don’t slide off and don’t turn. The Eventing Boots feature an extremely strong Velcro fastening. Quick tip: put some tape around the fastening of the boots to extend their durability. The Air Tech Eventing Boots are machine washable at 30° (no dryer). Close the Velcro fastening before washing or put in a washing bag. Our Air Tech Technology was perfectioned during the 3 year long development process and was tested under the hardest conditions. This technology enables extreme breathability which prevents your horse’s legs from overheating during the hard work.
