In the age of COVID and online shopping, I am having a hard time finding polo wraps that are stretchy vs thick and fleecy. I know about Saratoga bandages, just wondering if there are other options that have around that level of stretch? Anyone found some that they love?
The cooling type polos are usually half regular fleece, half super stretchy. Would that work?
These are nice ones: https://www.doversaddlery.com/exkadron-climatex/p/X1-2693/
I have the Centaur knock-offs, which have worked well for me but I only use them rarely for clinics. However I’m not finding them on any of the major retailers currently.
Lemieux polos are long, a bit narrower than usual, but thin fleece and very stretchy.
Eskadron’s training bandages
I have the Centaur knock-offs too, but my horse interferes a fair amount, and he’s shredded the stretchy part. I’ve now gotten him bell boots on the back feet, and he’s muscling up behind so interferes less. So I might give them another try.
Ooooohhh, I’ll have to give them a try!!

I love the brand professionals choice in the combi bandage.
Ditto! Especially the stretchy part.
Yep - LeMieux all the way. Wish they were a little wider but love the stretch.
on the LeMieux someone said they are LONG. I have 2 arabians with very delicate legs. Thin, stretchy, not as wide as other bandages is all good. But long usually means my horses end up looking like they are wearing 80’s leg warmers. Can these just have a couple feet cut off to shorten them?
Sure, cut some off. Or buy the pony size 
Draper Therapy perfect polos are half polo and half Saratoga bandage.
My base narrow mare shredded the Eskadron wraps within 3 months of use and I still haven’t gotten over how big of a waste of money they were. I am actually really happy with the Horze combi wraps.
Awesome! I’ll give them a try too! I have a small tack hoarding problem… but only my husband thinks it’s a problem!! :lol:
As for the length of the LeMieux – my gelding has legs like tree trunks, I’m usually having the opposite issue and I can’t get two full layers before I run out of wrap! Thanks for the heads up!

I use the eskadron climatex bandages. I can’t really say they hold up since I have this terrible habit of buying boots (mostly) and wraps (sometimes) and just about NEVER using them. That last part is probably best given potential issues with heat and the fact my pony clearly doesn’t need them… it’s the first part that is needlessly expensive, and yet I always get suckered in by the PRETTY LEG STUFF!!!
yep. The reason I bough Lemieux is that they are 3.8 m (12.46 feet) long and I have a 17hh big boned TB. I kept them full length for the hind legs, and cut down to 10 ft for front legs. Its better to have a long length & cut to customize than struggle trying to get a 9ft polo to fit my horse’s hind cannons.
I like Eskadron training bandages over liners. Elasticated so very stretchy, but the liners wick moisture and stop the bandages being too tight.
