What you should know about Horsefabulous Products & Equipment
Speed Silks are made completely from a patented fabric called Afro simplex, which, as its name suggests, is dimpled like a golf ball for least wind resistance. Speed Silks is a revolutionary, patent pending equine jockey uniform that actively reduces the rider’s aerodynamic drag. It’s dimpled like a golf ball, and that texture is what actively reduces drag caused by wind resistance. Every aspect of their design and manufacture was chosen to reduce a jockey’s aerodynamic drag. Let’s take a minute to talk about drag. Every portion in the Speed Silks line is formfitting. That noise is his clothing flapping in the wind. Every single flap pulls backwards on the jockey, and therefore, the horse. We call it the kite tail effect. The tail of a kite is designed to create drag and pull the base of the kite in a specific direction. That’ good for a kite, but bad for a racehorse. All Speed Silks products are formfitting, eliminating the folds of fabric that catch the wind. They’re also made with as scanty seams as possible, because more seams mean more weight and more places where the air can catch and pull. And Speed Silks’ revolutionary design reduces skin friction. Skin friction is literally the friction created as air is dragged across a surface in this case, the jockey. Imagine the dimples are creating small ball bearings of air between the jockey and the air he’s traveling through. Speed Silks also reduce something called form drag. As something moves quickly through the air, a pocket of low air pressure forms after it. That pocket of low pressure pulls backward on the jockey, and therefore, the horse. Speed Silks makes the air flow around the jockey more efficiently, shrinking the size of that low pressure pocket, reducing the backward pull on the jockey. Afro simplex fabric is highly bi elastic and lightweight and the only textile used in horse racing colors manufacture with SPF (to a factor of 40 UV) built correct into the fabric. Speed Silks colors and helmet covers, with the unfold knit multilayer structure of Afro simplex, are the only purpose made horse racing colors specifically designed to breathe and wick (transfer) moisture (sweat) from the inside to the outside of the garment where it can then dissipate through evaporation. Speed Silks stay consistent and settled when used and are therefore unequaled where minimal distortion to the dynamics of colors, patterns, logos and symbols is desired. Speed Silks helmet covers are the only helmet covers made of an ultra lightweight single layer construction to urge uppermost air movement over and through the air vents in the helmet.
