The magic in our pads is the propietary FEAM™ Technology! Invented at UMAS by a dedicated group of science based textile researchers, FEAM is a radical and innovative textile alternative to foam. Using a mature manufacturing process that creates a patented protection barrier in order to absorb impact and, as a result of its significant reduction of concussion (Impact energies), provides protection to the horse from the top down and protection to the rider from the bottom up.
