Hoods Incl Zipper - Original

The Hidez compression hood with a zip: faster, fuss-free fitting for horses that will not stand for pull-on tack.

The Hoods Incl Zipper design adds a zip fastening to the Hidez Compression Hood, so it can be fitted and removed quickly without pulling the full hood over the horse's head. It suits anxious, head-shy or fidgety horses, and busy yards where speed of fitting matters. Australian-designed and established in 2010, Hidez is veterinary endorsed and used in more than 30 countries.

Why it works

Graduated compression applies pressure that is highest at the extremities and decreases towards the heart, assisting venous and lymphatic return and helping the circulation flush metabolic waste such as lactic acid. In internal thermographic testing, Hidez compression recorded up to 30% less lactic-acid build-up. Around the head and neck, the snug, even pressure produces a calming, swaddle-like effect that helps anxious horses settle, and the zip lets you achieve that fit with far less fuss.

Sizing & fit

Sizes run by your horse's height, from 14 hands to 19.2 hands in half-hand steps. Because this is a compression garment, correct fit means correct pressure: the zip closes the hood to the same snug fit every time, but only if the size is right. Measure your horse and check the Hidez sizing guide before ordering.

Care

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Air dry only, as tumble drying damages the compression fibres.
