gamgee alternative?

[rforsyth1984]

is there any alternative to gamgee for under exercise bandages? Mine had just fell apart in the wash again, after fighting with some velcro.
I dont want to use boots, but might be interested in those new training wraps? Do they offer as much support as bandages? At the moment Im only hacking and schooling, but will be jumping again later in the summer. Horse had a minor tendon injury a couple of years ago, so instructor has told me to always ride with bandages on in front.

There is a foam alternative but i cannot the life of me remember what they are called.They have air holes in them and offer alot of protection to the cannon bone and tendons.Sorry not much help am i!.I have the Equiflex boots but i dont think they offer very much protection.But they look nice.

what about the Roma leg wraps or eskadron climatex pads? They are absorbant so if they sweat underneath the bandages it wicks it away.

Brilliant, just what I was looking for, thanks!
can anyone reccommend one over the other (Roma/Eskadron)?

ive got both. The roma ones seem a bit firmer fabric than the eskadron ones but they both are great. Roma ones are cheaper though.

Fibergee is the stuff like gamgee.
