Description
Premier Equine Cold Water Compression Boots
- Advanced, medical-grade fabrics have been used to engineer this innovative cold water compression boot.
- The practical solution for leg cooling after strenuous exercise.
- A revolution in cooling technology aided recovery activated by moisture absorption and maintained by exposure to airflow delivered via the 3D ducted mesh.
- The advanced cold water fabric has been developed as part of our Air Tech range, the lining is of medical-grade providing hypo-allergenic and antibacterial properties.
- The material uses a unique chemistry to achieve rapid water absorption.
- The advanced formulation releases energy over time to provide temperatures that are 6-12° cooler than ambient temperature.
- The boot has been engineered to provide uniform cooling without restricting movement.
- The air is the element that keeps the fabric cool once it has been activated by water.
- The 3D sports mesh outer allows a constant flow of air to reach the cold water material which prolongs the cooling effect of the boots.
- Once saturated the cold water fabric is activated and provides a cold cushioned layer anatomically shaped to your horse’s leg.
- The adjustable Velcro straps create compression to further aid recovery.
- Our Air Tech specialist fabrics have been developed for all equine disciplines to ensure key properties facilitate the technical performance and protection required of our products.
Recommendations
- We recommend using the boots for no longer than 2-4 hours per use.
- Boots can be worn in the stable or during turnout.
- Legs should be clean before applying the boots.
- We recommend soaking in cold water for 5-8 minutes before applying to the leg.
- Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Water of an ambient temperature may also be used as the fabric technology will lower the temperature.
- Store in an airtight box or bag once dry for optimum wear.
- If the boots go to body temperature, simply add cold water to reactivate. The boot can be in use during re-activation (left on the leg).
- Ensure dry spots are checked for at regular intervals – particularly on hot days.
- High humidity (90%) will diminish the fabrics ability for the product to provide cooling.
Warning for the use of these boots:
- Boots must be soaked in cold water for 5-8 minutes (maximum 30 minutes*), before use ensuring thorough saturation.
- Under no circumstances should the boot be applied in its dry state.
- It is important to keep the boot saturated during use.
- Do not use on cuts, abrasions or damaged skin.
- If symptoms or injury persist consult your vet.

Care
- You can dry your boots either folded or open – but it is essential that you soak your boots in the same state that they were dried in.
- Always soak your cold water compression boots before next use.
- Remove hair and mud with a brush and ensure all fastenings are closed.
- Hand wash & rinse.
- When dried the fabric will become rigid. Ensure soaking before next use.
- Keep out of direct sunlight – this can deteriorate the fabrics.
- Do not manipulate/fold/unfold your boots once they are dry – this may compromise the integrity of the fabric.
- Do not use detergent – this can deteriorate the fabrics.
