The Loire Close Contact LeMieux Aqua saddle pad is described as the most stylish pad LeMieux has ever produced. The Loire collection exudes sophistication and class. The woven satin fabric gives a beautiful shine to the mixed rug while benefiting from the wonderfully soft and breathable bamboo lining. The 100% natural bamboo lining provides effective heat and perspiration control and dries very quickly. The pad is designed with a very soft suede material to avoid any friction and which helps maintain the perfect shape of the saddle pad. The strap passage area is protected by a synthetic leather insert, completed with the embossed LeMieux logo. The signature metal plaque of the Loire collection is affixed to the side of the saddle pad.
