Washing instructions:
Completely machine washable up to 30 degrees. Ensure all zips and straps are done up/secured. Do not use any fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean.
To preserve waterproof performance, we recommend washing and re-waterproofing Equi-Hoodie’s at least 1/2 times a year. Re-waterproofing sprays and pastes can be purchased at your local outdoor camping shops or 'Bunnings'. Most brands are suitable but we recommend the NIKWAX spray and waterproof agents.
How to use the Equi-Hoodie
While riding: completely unzip both side zips and front zip to belly button height to ensure complete freedom of movement before riding, mounting and dismounting. Place the leg straps on by using the velcro attachment before mounting.
For added safety the leg straps have a break-away function, which will snap at the seam under enough tension, incase of an emergency of getting caught while in the saddle.
Wearing around the stables: The Equi-Hoodie is designed to fit long and past your knees, depending on your individual height this can cause some restriction of movement while bending, climbing through fences and running. To ensure complete freedom of movement we recommend to unzip the front zip to knee height whilst wearing to avoid any movement restrictions.
