Toklat T3 Matrix SHIM Felt Pad

Toklat introduces you to the revolutionary Toklat T3 Matrix SHIM Felt Pad Shim Pad, built to adjust. Toklat’s T3 Performance Pads are designed with the same Superior Impact Protection that NFL players wear to avoid dangerous and powerful hits. These pads can take a hit.

Engineered to be extremely lightweight and breathable, you don’t have to worry about suffocating your horse in the heat of summer. A rugged non-slip military-grade fabric topper locks the pad into position for whatever terrain lies ahead. Ergonomically shaped for maximum freedom of movement.

The Shim pad comes with three internal full-length pockets on either side of the spine, each pre-filled with two 1/4″ customizable felt shims for a total of 12 shims. This pad is not intended to be used with all of the shims at one time.

KEY FEATURES

• Full-length Impact Protection inserts that cushion, protect, and absorb up to 90% of the energy transferred between horse and rider.

  Dual Protection. Dynamic Performance.

  For general schooling and athletic performance. The ultra-light, contouring layer of high-density Poron® XRDtm provides superior protection by absorbing 90% of the impact. The 13mm layer of medium-density viscoelastic foam offers superior musculoskeletal cushioning.

  Ortho is a great performance insert that can also help compensate for saddle fit and asymmetrical muscle development. The Toklat T3 Matrix Ortho-Impact protects the horse while minimizing the shock felt by the rider, offering back relief and a more secure seat.
