Protechmasta Far Infrared Therapy 200g Mediumweight Stable Rug combines FIR technology with 200g of insulated filling to add warmth and comfort during the colder seasons. Featuring a padded fleece collar for extra comfort round the neckline. Adjustable front clip fastening and hook and loop closure for a secure fit. Adjustable cross belly surcingles and fillet string to secure at the rear. The ceramic infused FIR lining features over the back, shoulders, and quarters to help boost circulation. This FIR technology can help to relive muscle tension, sensitivity as well as helping to prepare muscles and tendons for exercise. 
Question: What is the Protechmasta range?
Answer: Far Infrared Technology - A naturalistic ceramic infused lining that emits a safe form of Far Infrared radiation, also known as Biogenetic Radiation, to the body, this is then reflected from the body creating a natural black body effect. Far infrared radiation is a natural process and is scientifically proven to assist blood circulation gently and safely, therefore, helping to reduce any swelling, ease muscle tension and support recovery and help in the prevention of injury.
Question: Does the Protechmasta material have to be in direct contact with the body?
Answer: Better results can be achieved when Protechmasta is in direct contact with the skin.
Question: Are the products machine washable?
Answer: Yes, Protechmasta products are machine washable. We recommend washing at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle and in a rug wash bag. Close all fastenings before washing. Please line dry naturally, do not tumble dry or iron.
Question: Do I need to introduce the products slowly?
Answer: We recommend that the Protechmasta products are introduced gradually to allow the body to adjust. For the first week use only for a maximum of four hours at a time, then introducing it for longer periods after a couple of weeks. For maximum results use as often as possible.
Question: Will Protechmasta overheat my horse?
Answer: The Protechmasta rug unlike a thermal rug or everyday horse rug, is impregnated with a Bio-ceramic material. This Bio-ceramic material is a combination of varied ceramics and mineral oxides which are bound together and heated to 3000 degrees. Once the material is cooled it becomes Bio-ceramic, and emits Far Infrared Energy (FIR).
When Bio-ceramic material is impregnated into the fibres of the rug and placed next to the skin of the equine Far Infrared radiation is produced. The primary source of energy required to stimulate FIR emissions comes from the equine's body. The ceramic nanoparticles in the rug become ‘perfect absorbers’ maintaining their temperature at adequate levels then offering FIR back to the equine's body. This ensures there is a constant emission and absorption of FIR to the equines skin, regulating temperature and preventing the opportunity of overheating when applied in ambient temperatures up to 25 degrees.
Independent clinical trials have shown the following results in horses wearing Protechmasta technology: 
Pre exercise resting heart rate reduced relieving pre-exercise stress and general anxiety. 
Post exercise heart rate restored to resting rate quicker showing significantly improved recovery rates. 
Skin surface temperature stabilised pre and post exercise as compared to the normal routine which showed temperature irregulating, sweating and heat stress, each of which is a performance prohibitor. 
Inflammation reduced even after 30 minutes proving increased circulation and duly preventing potential injury.

*A black body is an object or organism (in this case the horse) that absorbs all FIR radiation that is placed upon it, (in this case the Far Infrared Radiating ceramics infused into the lining of the Protechmasta therapy rug.) It then reflects this radiation back at the same frequency that has been generated by the initiating blackbody, the horse *
