The Merino+ Loire Close Contact Square combines elegance and function, providing the Suede collection's quality with the comfort and pressure relief of our technological Merino+ blend, specifically developed to fit forward-cut jumping saddles.Our Close Contact pads are not like other pads. They are precisely built for jumping, with a high wither cut, elasticated D-ring tabs, and a swept-back profile that provide the ideal fit for your jumping requirements.Our Merino+ rolls aren't just for show. They provide the appearance and security of a half pad without adding bulk beneath the saddle. Our innovative Merino+ blend, which combines natural Merino with technology fibres for style and performance, keeps the saddle stable while relieving pressure on your horse's back.A sturdy suede-effect fabric upper is combined with our distinctive soft, breathable, friction-free bamboo interior. The natural bamboo blend lining material regulates heat and effectively absorbs sweat, keeping your horse comfortable.The entire pad benefits from considerable study into friction-free suede-effect binding, which is carefully created to contour the edges seamlessly. This novel approach contributes to the preservation of the ideal saddle pad form and binding profile.The sturdy, textured PU leather girth protection area shields the pad from the rider's boot, while our characteristic LeMieux inner girth strap channels assure a precise fit.Bamboo Lining Friction Free Binding High Wither Sweat Wicking
