Research shows that overheating of the horse's legs can directly cause tissue degeneration in tendons and joints, increasing the risk of injury.
Overheating of a horse's legs is typically caused by incorrect or excessive use of leg protection – especially when using bandages or certain types of boots. If you use the wrong type of leg protection or apply bandages or boots incorrectly, the skin is prevented from breathing and instead becomes hot and damp. This naturally stresses the horse's skin, but ultimately, it will also increase the risk of injury, as the cells in the tendons and joints slowly begin to degenerate due to the heat.
However, it doesn't have to be this way! If you use bandages and boots correctly – and most importantly, choose the right type – you can prevent the problem. 2XCool Sports Medicine Boots from Professional's Choice are boots made from a special innovative material from the company brrr°, and the design places a particular emphasis on COOLING, COMFORT, and DURABILITY.
The 2XCool boots contain no neoprene and are instead made from an ultra-lightweight material featuring both breathability and 4-way stretch. The boots are lined with brrr°'s "Performance Fabric", a high-tech material that combines:
-
Cooling minerals
-
Extreme moisture-wicking ability
-
Rapid drying
These are three very important features that together are known as the Triple Chill Effect – heat and moisture are effectively wicked away from the skin, and the leg is maintained at an appropriate temperature so it does not overheat.
Furthermore, the 2XCool boots are fitted with special Stretch Kevlar on the bottom strap that runs under the fetlock joint. Experience shows that this is where boots typically wear out the most, so this smart feature significantly increases durability.
The Professional's Choice 2XCool boots are your solution to the problem of overheating. The boots will keep your horse's legs COOL, DRY, and PROTECTED.
