Safety Tested, Eventer Approved
Leveraging the neutrality of an independent laboratory, Equilibrium (manufacturer of Tri-Zone products) safety tested the new Airlite XC boots. Lab results proved that the Airlite XC boots protect against both threats on course: concussion and penetration. Concussions on course come from a horse striking a cross country fence at galloping speed. Threats of penetration are from a horse’s hind hoof over reaching and striking any number or tendons and ligaments on the back of the front leg. These boots protect against both these threats.
Lightweight XC Boots
Adding weight to a horses leg can significantly alter performance. On the cross country course, this alteration can also mean missing your optimum time at the least, damaging your horses leg at the worse. Equilibrium Airlite XC Boots offer a high level of performance without adding significant weight.
Highly Breathable And Flexible Without Letting Dust In
Overheating your horses tendons on course is not such a good thing. Tri-Zone uses the “Airlite System” that has three layers of perforated, flexible materials that allow air to flow while keeping dust and debris out. The outer layer is tough, flexible TPU mesh. This stuff is rip resistant and super breathable. The second layer is a highly breathable filter membrane that blocks dust and debris from the final layer. The inner layer is a shock dampening, high density material. The material has a surface mimicking that of heat sinks on electronics. Overall, the sinks dissipate heat through the multiple air vents that are built into the boot.
Karlie –
Impressed with these boots. They do not rub and my horse doesn’t mind the feel/fit of them (he is a pretty picky guy with tack). Size wise they fit him well (he’s a pretty typical build Thoroughbred 16.1 hands). Easy to clean and they dry fast.
