Acavallo Withers Free Hexagonal Soft Gel Pad with Micropile & Back Sheepskin Edge

The Air Release Gel Pad is a solid hexagonal cell structure that allows the air to circulate over the back. Flexible gel works in synergy with the horse’s movement. It provides non-slip security with low profile that maximizes absorption and minimizes the bulk under the saddle.

Extremely lightweight, the Acavallo soft gel pad can be used directly on the horse’s back. Acavallo gel has a remarkable ability to absorb shocks, is suitable for any type of saddle and fits perfectly to the horse’s back. The unique feature of Acavallo gel is that it is sticky, which is the reason why all riders love it. After washing, it gets sticky again, provided that the instructions below are followed. It has the ability to allow the skin to breathe while maintaining contact with the saddle, thanks to an excellent shock-absorbing non-slip layer. A thoroughly elastic stretch product, it can be cut to the desired shape (riders often cut it off half an inch shorter so that it is not visible under the saddle). It prevents any unwanted movement of the saddle, backwards, forwards and sidewards. A real asset if the saddles rotate on the ‘rounder’ horses & ponies.

Man has been using sheepskin since ancient times because of its comfort and protective qualities. Most of the fleeces offer 3000 fibers per square inch, and each fiber is like a tiny shock absorber that makes sheepskin probably the best emollient padding in nature. The pile of those special tanned sheepskins is 30 mm. The Acavallo wool is selected in order to have a  very high density. Sheepskin will not give off an electrical charge. Synthetic seat covers are a 100% insulator of electrical energy. All natural sheepskin is a partial insulator providing you an undisturbed release of static electricity created by the natural friction of your body and the environment. Sheepskin is able to absorb sweat immediately, seven times faster than synthetics. Machine-washable (30 degrees) or by hand simply using water. Remove any dried mud or sweat with a brush before washing. Rub human hair conditioner into the lambskin before washing. Do not tumble dry. Do not expose to direct heat.

Micropile is a little bit thinner than memory foam, it has an outstanding abrasion resistance, a nice comfortable next-to-skin feel and an excellent wicking properties. The micropile fibres are dense and high resistant, light and easy to wash
