Ice Compression Suit - Horse Original
Targeted cold therapy and patented graduated compression in one full-body suit: the Hidez flagship recovery system for horses.
The Ice Compression Suit combines integrated ice pockets with the only patented graduated compression system, in a single suit that covers the horse's body. It is built for owners, trainers and therapists managing hard-working horses after intense exercise, competition or travel, when heat, inflammation and muscle fatigue need to be managed together. Australian-designed and established in 2010, Hidez compression wear is veterinary endorsed and used in more than 30 countries.
Why it works
Ice pockets built into the suit hold cold packs against the body for targeted cold therapy, helping to manage heat and inflammation. At the same time, the suit's patented graduated compression, highest at the extremities and decreasing towards the heart, maintains circulation, assisting venous and lymphatic return and helping to flush metabolic waste such as lactic acid. Cold controls inflammation while compression keeps blood moving, reducing swelling and supporting recovery. In internal thermographic testing, Hidez compression recorded up to 30% less lactic-acid build-up.

Sizing & fit
Available in ten sizes by height, from 14 hands to 18.2 hands in half-hand steps. Because this is a compression garment, correct fit means correct pressure. A suit that is too loose cannot deliver the graduated gradient it is designed to apply. Measure your horse carefully and check the Hidez sizing guide before ordering.
What's included
One Hidez Ice Compression Suit in your chosen colour and size.
Care
Remove all ice packs before washing. Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Air dry only, as tumble drying damages the compression fibres.
