Care Guide
Horsetack Care Guide
Simple care methods can support the longevity of your equipment
Our Uppeal material is naturally water-resistant and incredibly durable. Unlike traditional leather, it won't become brittle and requires almost no maintenance.
Important: Avoid using leather conditioners, moisturizers, or traditional leather care products on Uppeal. These can permanently damage the material. No impregnation sprays or waxes are needed either.
The beauty of Uppeal: you can rinse it with plenty of water – even under a running tap or in a bucket! Simply dry with a cloth afterwards. No special products needed.
