[RC] O2/Temps/Breatheability - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Richard Sacks rsacks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Again, we state that our pad lowers the surface temperature of the horse by as much as 7 degrees. It was tested by using thermocouplers (temperature sensors). This is in addition to any evaporative cooling. We have stated this on our web site for the last 2 years. If you go there you can read what we say. We believe our pad will always be as much as 7 degrees cooler than any other pad. This is done by the use of phase change material. The blood flow increases are accomplished by another smart textile, Holofiber. The physiology of mammals are very similar. That is why we make the claim regarding blood flow issues. Tests done on horses can be expected to have similar results as those done on humans. Of course any testing we do may have you saying that it is biased. We more than willing to have our pad tested against any other by an independent testing agency sponsored by a non biased third party. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
