Can anyone recommend some stable bandages that are not fleece?

Box rested pony (had surgery, not allowed out of stable) + deep shavings bed + fleece stable bandages = shavings smothered bandages. Would prefer some in a more woven type material so they don't stick as much. But all I seem to find are fleece!

Just bought the Eskadron Climatex bandage wraps as fed up with shavings and fybergee, but tack shop only has fleece Eskadron bandages. Grrrr.
 
I hate fleece bandages myself and got some nice woven/knitted ones from equestrian clearance. Super cheap too.
I will go and see if they still have them and link you.

I think it was these ones http://www.equestrianclearance.com/_battles/hy-stable-bandages/index.html

Please don't post links to equestrian clearance when it is almost the end of the day and I am clockwatching :( My brown pony will now be getting a proper heavyweight rug all of her very own that has never been worn by anyone before :o Oh and maybe I also bought the grey pony some of those bandages :eek:
 
My vet tells me that the fleecy bit is the best thing to put in direct contact with their legs, but you can get half fleece, half elastic bandages - the nice fleecy bit does the first wrap and then the elastic bit means you can get a good even pressure and no shavings stuck to them :-)

We still can't get my horse to accept wearing bandages unfortunately!
 
I have used the aeroborn ones before which were very good but the best I have found are thermatex ones... they aren't too expensive either and do last without loosing their shape / stretching... even with daily use for prolonged periods.
