Kevlar Gel Vento is a leg protector featuring a protective layer of Kevlar. This synthetic material is lightweight, impact-resistant, durable and five times stronger than steel.

• The horse’s tendon is also protected by shock-absorbing Nitrex gel.
• The protector has dual ventilation, providing ideal conditions for the horse’s legs.

Vento has been thoroughly tested by, among others, Marcus Ehning. The secret lies in the innovative layers of material inside the protector: the innermost layer, which is in contact with the horse’s leg, is made of two-way stretch fabric for maximum comfort. The middle layer is Aerox, micro-perforated neoprene; the microscopic holes are designed to let heat escape from the leg.

The outermost layer is a special 3D mesh material that helps warm air move upwards.

The shock-absorbing shell has ventilation holes at the bottom, where cool air is drawn in, and additional holes at the top, where warm air is expelled.

Carbon Vento combines the protection of carbon fibre and shock-absorbing gel with the benefits of dual ventilation. Heat from the horse’s leg passes through the innermost and middle layers and is distributed through the 3D mesh. Cool air is drawn in through the lower ventilation hole as the horse moves, pushing the heat collected in the 3D layer upwards and out through the upper ventilation hole.

Ventilation therefore works both horizontally—from the inside out—and vertically—from the bottom upwards: an innovative technology used in leg protectors for the first time!
