Care For Your Pad

Easy Care: Keeping your Equitex Pad pristine is effortless. Machine washable at 86°F (delicate cycle) with a max spin of 300 rpm, these pads resist dirt and hair accumulation, reducing the need for frequent washing. After riding, simply turn the pad upside down to air dry. Once dry, brush or wipe off any loose hairs or salt residue. For competition pads, they can even be hosed down or jet washed to achieve a pristine finish.
