Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Memory Foam GP Girth is designed for equestrians seeking enhanced comfort and pressure relief for their horses during daily schooling, competitive events, or long trail rides. By combining a body-moulding memory foam core with a breathable Coolmax outer layer, this girth actively reduces heat buildup and minimizes the risk of chafing. While it provides excellent stability and even pressure distribution, users should note that it requires hand washing only to maintain the structural integrity of the memory foam components.

FAQs
Can I put this girth in the washing machine?
No, the girth must be hand-washed in cool water to protect the memory foam core.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure from the end of the billet strap on one side to the corresponding billet on the other side while the saddle is on the horse.
Will this girth help prevent girth galls?
Yes, the combination of pressure-distributing memory foam and soft moisture-wicking material is specifically designed to reduce rubbing and galls.
Is this suitable for sensitive horses?
Absolutely. The memory foam is designed to offer a soft, contouring contact that is much gentler than traditional stiff webbing or leather.
Does the Coolmax fabric actually keep the horse cool?
Yes, Coolmax is engineered to pull moisture away from the skin and accelerate evaporation, which helps manage heat buildup during work.
Troubleshooting
Girth feels stiff or hard to the touch.
Memory foam may feel firmer in very cold temperatures; allow it to sit in a room-temperature environment for a few minutes before use.
Elastic appears stretched out.
Ensure that the girth is not being overtightened beyond the necessary tension; if the elastic remains deformed, check for debris caught in the webbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the girth is tightened evenly on both sides to take full advantage of the triple-crossed elastic inserts. This girth is compatible with most GP and jumping saddles featuring standard long-billet attachments. For maintenance, it is essential to hand wash the girth in cool water using a mild, horse-safe detergent. Never put this item in a machine dryer or wash it at high temperatures, as heat can degrade the memory foam's ability to recover its shape. Always air-dry the girth in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials.
