Hoods

Discover the versatility of hoods for horses

Hoods are an essential addition to your horse’s gear, offering protection and comfort in various weather conditions. Designed to shield the neck from cold, rain, and wind, they are particularly useful for horses that are clipped or exposed to harsh climates. Many models in the Agradi range feature advanced materials such as ballistic nylon or ripstop polyester, which enhance durability and provide reliable performance. Whether you need lightweight options for mild weather or insulated designs for winter, hoods can help keep your horse comfortable and protected throughout the year.

Materials that ensure durability and comfort

Within the assortment, hoods often incorporate high-quality materials like ballistic nylon, ripstop polyester, and ceramic fiber linings. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand wear and tear while ensuring the horse’s comfort. Some designs feature water-resistant coatings and breathable fabrics, making them suitable for wet and humid conditions. Additionally, certain hoods include soft linings, such as artificial rabbit fur, to prevent chafing and irritation. These thoughtful details contribute to the overall well-being of your horse, ensuring they remain comfortable during turnout or stable time.

Innovative technologies for optimal performance

Many hoods available at Agradi are equipped with innovative features that enhance their functionality. For example, some models include antibacterial layers to reduce the risk of infections, while others utilize ceramic fibers to reflect body heat as infrared energy, promoting blood circulation and cellular activity. Breathability is another key feature, with some hoods offering ventilation systems to prevent overheating. These advanced technologies not only improve the comfort of your horse but also support their health and performance. Additionally, water-resistant coatings and taped seams are common in certain designs, ensuring reliable protection against rain and moisture.

Choosing the perfect hood for your horse

Selecting the right hood involves considering factors such as size, filling, and compatibility with existing blankets. Many hoods come in various sizes, ensuring a snug fit for different horse breeds and blanket types. Filling options, ranging from 0g to 300g, allow you to choose the appropriate level of insulation based on seasonal needs. Compatibility is also crucial, as some hoods are designed to attach seamlessly to specific blankets using Velcro or ring closures. By understanding these features, you can make an informed choice that meets your horse’s unique requirements and enhances their comfort.
