DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT Duraweb harness was first developed in 1988 to meet the needs of the busy driver and the demands of competitive and pleasure driving. Robust enough for the professional, and a pleasure to use for everyday use in all weather. All features are time-served and tested by top drivers and horsemen over many years. Duraweb has unique style and quality, and gives many years of trouble free use. FITTINGS Best quality stainless steel fittings throughout. STRAPPING Strapping is "Duraweb" purpose designed for equestrian use, with significant advantages over both leather and ordinary webbing. Looks and handles pleasantly like leather but is much stronger and hard wearing, withstanding extremes of climate and tough outdoor conditions without maintenance or deterioration. Leather headpiece, generously shaped for added comfort behind the ears. All body parts (i.e. breast collar, wither, girth, breeching, saddle linings and crupper dock) are constructed from smart leather. Bearing surfaces are lined with soft leather panel hide. DESIGN FEATURES • High stress areas are reinforced with leather for a traditional appearance and good handling qualities. • Crupper dock is soft leather covering over a padded core. • Headpiece, generously shaped behind ears, for better horse comfort. • Rigid saddle tree, with sliding backband for 2 wheelers. Simply converted to a fixed backband to suit 4 wheelers by use of removable "stop-tabs". • Traditional style fail-safe quick release connection between traces and breastcollar. SAFETY & CONVENIENCE Quick release on breastcollar. Quick release tugs/shaft loops. Reins are joined with side snap quick release at drivers end. MAINTENANCE Wipe clean, hose down. Hang to dry. Occasional leather feed will keep the leather parts of the harness looking and feeling like new throughout years of use.
