Key Features
-
Material Excellence: Made from XD1900 high-density, fabric-backed medical sheepskin wool, the protector offers superior cushioning and support. The soft sheepskin lining enhances airflow and provides a comfortable fit.
-
Moisture Management: The wool's natural moisture-wicking properties allow it to absorb up to 30% of its weight in water vapor without feeling damp. This feature helps maintain a healthy microclimate by effectively dissipating heat and moisture.
-
Adjustable Fit: Equipped with easy-fastening, adjustable hook and loop (Velcro) straps, the protector ensures a secure fit for all sizes. Each pack contains two protectors, both in a versatile blue color.
Care Instructions
-
Durability: The elbow protector is machine washable up to 80°C and is guaranteed for up to 50 washes when care instructions are followed. Handmade craftsmanship may lead to a dispatch delay of 1–2 weeks, but it complies with Australian Standards AS 4480.1.
-
Washing Guidelines: Use normal household detergent or optional Shear Comfort Wool Care Shampoo for added conditioning. After washing, air-dry fleece-side down, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid ironing or bleaching.
