What is the difference between CoolBack® fleece and WoolBack® fleece?
A. WoolBack® is a fabric made from 100% Virgin Wool. Coolback® is a synthetic orthopedic fleece originally designed for hospital use. Both fabrics have been specially formulated for equestrian use exclusively for Toklat Originals. WoolBack® has all of the properties of natural wool: it has a natural resiliency; it is very breathable; and it can absorb 80% of it’s own weight in moisture. These features together make a therapeutic pad that disperses heat very efficiently and removes moisture from the horse’s back. For the horse owner, no other fiber combines comfort, safety and durability like wool. It’s porous nature allows for continuous air circulation, enabling heat to escape. With proper care it will provide years of soft cushioned protection. Woolback® is the #1 pad of choice among endurance riders. WoolBack® is machine washable and dryer safe. Hose off between washings for maintenance. Available in natural only. CoolBack® is the most widely used all-around pad on the market. Coolb
