Description
NOTE: Size S boots look slightly different. Because they are smaller, the ventilation cannot be in the same place.
The boot features double ventilation that provides perfect conditions for the horse's legs.
Vento has been rigorously tested by, among others, Marcus Ehning. The secret lies in the innovative layers of material inside the boot: the innermost layer, which is in contact with the horse's leg, is made of two-way stretch for maximum comfort. The middle layer is Aerox, micro-perforated neoprene; the microscopic holes are designed to let heat escape from the leg.
The outermost layer is a special 3D mesh material; this material facilitates the upward movement of warm air.
The shock-absorbing shell has ventilation holes at the bottom where cool air is drawn in, and additional holes at the top where warm air is pushed out.
Carbon Vento combines the protection of carbon fiber and shock-absorbing gel with the benefits of double ventilation. Heat from the horse's leg passes through the inner and middle layers and is distributed into the 3D mesh. Cool air is drawn in through the lower ventilation hole thanks to the horse's movement and pushes the heat collected in the 3D layer upward and out through the upper ventilation hole.
The ventilation is therefore both horizontal – from the inside out – and vertical – from the bottom up: an innovative technology used in protective boots for the first time!
– The shell is anatomically designed to provide maximum freedom for the fetlock and knee. The shape provides maximum comfort and fits perfectly over the horse's tendons.
– The shell is composed of two separate parts with different thickness and flexibility. The main shell is made of semi-hard polyurethane, and the rear X-shaped shell is made of hard polyurethane.
– The X-shell is covered in carbon fiber, which is an extremely durable, protective, lightweight, and shock-absorbing material. Over the carbon fiber shell is a 3mm gel layer, which is shock-absorbing and provides high comfort.
– Two elastic straps with button closures provide a perfect fit and prevent 'over-tightening' due to straps that are pulled too tight. This also makes the boots easy to take on and off.
