Abstract

Wordwide all kind of athletes rely on the advantages of different GORE®-Laminates. Now also horses and their owners can benefit from it.

Horse-rugs (Coolers) exclusively from EQUIPROTECT® with WINDSTOPPER®-technology from W.L. GORE & Associates show a brilliant performance due to their outstanding features:

Heat Insulation

The outstanding thermal insulation and heat-loss-protection ensure a protection against unwanted loss of body heat, which might cause severe damages to the horses health. The horse will obtain the ability to maintain its body´s own warming micro climate and will feel more comfortable.

Maximum Breathability

The excellent breathability of the EQUIPROTECT®-horse-rug facilitates a quick drying of the horse without the harmful loss of body heat. By maintaining the body´s own micro climate the horse´s skin temperature remains constantly in the comfort zone. The sweating period will reduced ? in comparison to other horse-rugs ? by more than 50% and the drying of the horse will be obtained extremely quickly.

Durably windproof

Due to the windproofness the horse will be protected against cooling off winds from the outside, without interfering into the (body`s) climate exchange (sweating period). Harmful evaporation effects to the horses body will be definitely prevented

Water Resistance

Also cooling off caused by dampness such as light rain and moisture from outside will be avoided without disrupting into the the drying process of the sweating horse.

Comfort for the Horse

The EQUIPROTECT®-horse-rug with WINDSTOPPER®-technology from W.L. GORE & Associates faciliates due to its excellent breathability a extremely quick drying of the sweating horse and thus maintains the body´s warming microclimate and protects especially the horse´s sensitive back musculature from harmful outside factors such as cold, wind and dampness.

This selective measure of prophylaxis may be of vital importence to keep the horse healthy and active
