The Organisers of the Blue Chip Winter Show Jumping Championships extend a warm welcome to new sponsor Equilibrium Products who will be backing the exciting Tri-Zone Airlite Star Championship as of 2012. EQUILIBRIUM has developed Tri-Zone Airlite Boots, a highly innovative new range of boots that completely challenges the traditional rigid boot design by providing high protection whilst maintaining lightness, flexibility and breathability.

Unlike other show-jumping boots, Tri-Zone® Airlite Tendon and Fetlock boots use a triple layer system to provide excellent protection without any impediment or restriction offering an extremely comfortable and lightweight boot. The Tri-Zone Airlite range has been tested in an independent safety laboratory for its ability to reduce concussion and resist penetration using the same test as body protectors and police armour.

Launched in 2011, the Tri-Zone Airlite Tendon and Fetlock boots won a prestigious Innovation Award at the British Trade Association Trade Fair with the judges commenting, 'We were extremely impressed with the extensive research and testing carried out by Equilibrium. It was interesting to see the way in which they had used their results to create a new technology that would address the problems of overheating caused by standard equine boots. We thought that they were competitively priced for such a high quality product – particularly one that is backed by such thorough research.'

Laura Cutter, Marketing Manager at Equilibrium Products says, 'This popular series is the ideal sponsorship for our Tri-Zone Airlite brand. It gives us the perfect opportunity to support the aspiring amateur show jumper by enabling them to compete at a major championship'.
