SKITO DRY BACK

“DRYBACK” is an Equalizer® Saddle Pad by Skito that is constructed to release heat and moisture from the large back muscle to the atmosphere. Air flows between the saddle and saddle pad thanks to the addition of 3M™ Nomad™ matting to the top of the saddle pad. Simply put, the exclusive Skito wool/poly fleece efficiently wicks the heat-laden perspiration to the open cell foam insert, which acts as a dense sponge pulling moisture and heat away from the animal to the surface of the pad. In the past the heat and moisture stopped in the top layer of the saddle pad because the saddle became an obstacle to transpiration. The addition of Nomad™ matting enables air to flow under the saddle to evaporate the moisture and dissipate the heat normally trapped against the saddle.

Nomad™ is an open vinyl loop construction matting produced by 3m™ for building entrance foot traffic. The durability to withstand thousands of footsteps assures that Nomad™ will withstand the rigors of saddle impact and wear. The thickness of the matte and looseness of loop provides maximum airflow to facilitate evaporation. Added benefits of nomad™ are shock absorption and reduced slippage between the saddle and saddle pad.
