Matrix T3 Traditional CoolBack Half Pad with Pro-Impact Inserts

The T3 Matrix Traditional Half Pad with Pro-Impact Inserts is designed to protect and support your horse's back muscles without interfering with performance. Includes one set of Pro-Impact Inserts. The shape of the half pad follows the contour of the saddle (for a more ergonomic desig, see the Matrix Ergonomic Half Pad). The top is a linear quilt of ETC(TM) and high qualit, breathable batting. ETC(TM) is a breathabl, non-slip fabric that keeps your saddle securely positione, but is also anti-friction to avoid heat buildup. Typical non-slip materials like rubber scrims use friction for grip which creates heat and can lead to galling. The linear quilt maintains the batting loft for maximum breathability and heat dispersal. Coolback(R) fleece is 100% polyester originally designed to replace Sheepskin in hospital, then specifically formulated for the rigors of equestrian use. This orthopedic 1" fleece offers superior pressure relief and weight distributio, as well as rapid heat dispersal and breathability. The pile is resilient and rebounds after every washing. Machine washabl, dryer safe. Pro-Impact Inserts: most suitable for athletic performance and intense schooling. Poron XRD?? is an ultra-light and ultra-thin layer (5mm) of high density open cell foam that absorbs 90% of the energy from impact. It protects the horse's back muscles from the impact of the saddle and minimizes the energy bounce back that the rider experiences when landing in the saddl, allowing for a more secure seat. Superior to heavier and thicker foams and gel, the XRD is perforated for additional breathability. Treated with Microban(R). For use with the Matrix Traditional Dressage Schooling Liner (27-0206). For additional Impact Protection option, see item # 27-002, 27-0036. Dressage.
