Now with a new super-soft suede binding and PU leather protection zone, the classic Close-Contact cut from LeMieux is designed to fit a wide range of more advanced jumping saddles. It's now one of the most iconic jumping pads, with its high withers, elastic D-legs and sweeping rear profile. These saddle pads offer a very elegant and professional look to any saddle. The luxurious suede upper and new soft suede binding are complemented by a super-soft bamboo lining that absorbs and controls perspiration under the saddle and is beautifully comfortable and secure - minimizing rubbing, even on horses with sensitive skin. Tourniquets incorporate internal locking buckles to offer more girth options. There are several attractive colors to choose from, and new colors are added seasonally, as well as a selection of new Small/Med pads to fit smaller saddles. Remember to match your Close Contact suede pad with a Classic Fly Hood in the same color. Care information Machine washable at 30 degrees. Washing in a washing bag is recommended. Pull on the correct shape while wet so that it retains its shape during drying. Ensure that the washing machine drum is large enough to safely accommodate the size of the cushion. Make sure all hooks and loops are securely fastened before washing. Air dry away from heat sources (do not tumble dry).
