This protector has been designed to protect the pastern from blows, friction and bruises, an area that most bandages and protectors do not cover. They are used to absorb any impact with bars, fences, etc. and to protect against friction problems and to speed up the healing process during rest (keeping the area clean and protected) in the presence of excoriosis or other skin infections. They are 100% made in Italy, and are breathable thanks to the structure made of perforated neoprene on which an extra soft protection is fixed that includes 2 air vents. The closure is guaranteed by a double velcro system.
