The "Obsidian" turnout blanket in classic black, is extremely elegant and multifunctional with a matching neck piece - designed to maximize freedom of movement and minimize the risk of pressure and chafing. The anatomical fit follows the contours of the horse and a soft pressure-absorbing foam lifts the blanket slightly over the withers for increased comfort.

"Obsidian" 150g has a light heat-insulating filling that makes it well suited for chilly weather. The accompanying neck protector has a 100g filling and is easily attached to the blanket with the help of hook and loop.

Both the blanket and the neck cover are made of a water-repellent material (5000mm-3000gsm) with very good breathability. The lining consists of a woven textile whose smooth surface prevents chafing. The Welltex® technology in the material strongly reflects the horse's body heat in the form of infrared energy (FIR).

"Obsidian" envelops a large part of the horse's body in Welltex®, which stimulates blood circulation in the large muscle groups, increases the horse's well-being and can promote softness and mobility in muscles and joints. The effect can also help relieve problems with stiffness, inflammation and osteoarthritis.

The blanket is effectively held in place with the help of double shoulder buckles, V-front closures, X-surcingles under the belly and a plastic-covered tail strap with D-rings. The design makes it fit perfectly together with Back on Track's Rhyolite Insulated Liner other liners.

The black blanket and neck guard are equipped with reflective piping for increased visibility and safety.

"Obsidian" comes in a large, sturdy bag with carrying straps, which can be reused as a hay bag, for example.
