Additional Information
Technology:
Zilco began in 1962 as a small factory in Sydney (Australia), making lightweight racing products from revolutionary synthetic materials. Zilco's famous synthetic strapping is made from specially woven webbing that is coated in a co-polymer. This strong strapping retains its flexibility over a large temperature range and has great resistance to abrasion, tear and cracking. The strapping will not wick moisture like other synthetic materials so the coating won’t split or open. Wonderful ease of maintenance you will appreciate.
Better than a leather breastplate; the padding of this breast collar for horses is made of a lightweight, specially shaped black PVC waffle material that disperses pressure evenly. The closed cell foam material is super comfortable through the tough parts of a long ride when your horse (and your gear!) is working hard. Soft and pliable, the material lubricates with sweat and will not rub your horse or create heat.
Care Instructions:
Zilco is incredibly easy to maintain, you can Simply clean in a bucket of soapy water, rinse, and hang to dry
