In keeping with our mission commitment to providing quality protection, our pastern guard offers a lightweight, breathable defense against blows and injuries to the pastern area. The pasterns are regularly left exposed by traditional gaiters, and these neoprene strips - with a padded lining for comfort - help reduce direct contact in the event of an impact. The gaiter can be easily adjusted with the Velcro closure, allowing for proper placement without the risk of movement. Machine washable at 30° (no tumble dryer) and easy to care for, this pad is a must-have in your tack room, no matter what your discipline.- Soft, light, flexible and strong- Neoprene with velcro closure
