The Equilibrium Tri-Zone Impact Sport Front Boots are an extremely versatile, exceptionally lightweight and superb protective design that are perfect for high impact activities such as cross country, polo or racing but also good for everyday hacking and jumping, especially for those accident-prone horses!
These boots protect from concussion and penetration injuries and are lightweight even when wet! Breathable, they are constructed to allow heat to escape, with a unique multilayer mesh design that is also flexible for freedom of movement.
The Impact Sport Boots use a five-layer system, each chosen for their unique properties. The first layer is provides a inner lining that sits against the horses' leg. Made from perforated EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), the liner sits comfortably against the leg. The perforations allow heat to escape and aids breathability, while the flexibility of the material allows it to mould to the horses' leg.
Layer two is a strong nylon mesh. This adds another layer of protection to the sports boots, but also stops any debris making its way into the boot towards your horses' leg. Layer three is the internal guard made from vinyl - a string, durable and moisture resistant material. This layer is placed over the vulnerable tendon area and is made with strips of material to allow it to mould around the horses leg. This allows the horse to move freely without the feeling of a ‘splint’.
The fourth layer is a EVA waffle. Commonly used in the soles of human shoes and as padding on sports equipment, this material is durable, breathable, and protective! It's even easy to clean and maintain too!
Finally, layer five includes strategically placed vinyl strike guards. On the front boot, these are placed down the vulnerable tendon area, as well as at the front of the boot.
