Description
Akeso’s Equine Girth Sleeve is a Metis PCA™ fibre sleeve designed to sit between the girth and your horse’s skin, reducing friction and managing the moisture and bacterial buildup that leads to girth galls and skin irritation. It also works as a leg sock for recovery or protection during exercise.
Key Advantages
- Antimicrobial & Antifungal: The antibacterial and antifungal properties are built into the polymer structure of the fibre, not applied as a surface coating, so they don’t wash out with repeated use.
- Moisture Wicking: Sweat and moisture are wicked away from the skin, reducing the damp conditions that contribute to girth galls and skin irritation.
- Friction Reduction: The smooth surface reduces rubbing between the girth and skin, helping prevent sores and rubs during riding.
- Dual Use: Works around the girth during riding or as a leg sock for added protection and antimicrobial coverage during exercise or recovery.
- Low Wash Frequency: The antimicrobial properties mean the sleeve stays hygienic through multiple uses without washing after every ride.
Akeso’s Equine Girth Sleeve is a practical option for horses prone to girth galls or sensitive skin, and for riders looking to reduce maintenance without compromising hygiene. The 60-70cm length accommodates most horse sizes and the sleeve holds its shape through regular use.
Wash & Care Instructions
- Machine Wash: Cold water as needed. Air dry for best results.
- Avoid Bleach & Fabric Softener: Both can degrade the moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties of the Metis PCA™ fibre over time.
