Features of Boyoma stretched grith straps Black :
Boyoma Stretched Black grith straps are essential elements in the world of saddlery. Designed to ensure optimum saddle attachment, they guarantee even pressure distribution and provide incomparable comfort for horse and rider alike. Made from our full-grain, unpressed, uncorrected, smooth-grainedBoyoma stretched leather . This leather, from a double tanning process: vegetable retanned with mineral, is reworked wet and positioned on frames. Under tension, it minimizes its elasticity and elongation, and increases its absorption of direct stress without altering its tensile strength. This leather benefits from a aniline finish which preserves the natural appearance of the leather. The aniline finish consists in applying a thin, transparent layer that does not alter the texture of the leather. It is nourished throughout with a tallow bath (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), more commonly known as " tallow leather". This fat bath nourishment makes the leather easier to cut and work with, as well as increasing its resistance to water. Tallow provides maintenance-free leather, as the grease is constantly applied to the surface of the leather, giving it the nourishment it needs and an excellent patina. Thanks to this nourishment, Boyoma saddle leather is highly resistant to outdoor use, rejecting any external disturbance (water / salty environment).
Our tests show that leather elongation over 1000 stretching cycles at 75 Kg is less than 6%. In addition, a 25mm wide, 4.5mm thick strap has a breaking strength of over 360 Kg, the average being 450 Kg.

To ensure the quality of the leather used in its production, a leather traceability process has been implemented at Radermecker Tannery. The hides are marked 3 times with 3 identifiers at each stage: on receipt of the hides, enabling traceability of the origin of the hides; during the tanning process; during the finishing process. Traceability covers sourcing, fulling, finishing and associated quality testing.

Maintenance tips grith straps Boyoma stretched Black :
Thanks to tallow bath feeding, the fat is impregnated throughout the entire thickness of the stretched Boyoma saddle leather , so there's no need to feed over time. Food can be added to the bloom to maintain its greasy appearance or accelerate the leather's patina. This care of the grain ensures a longer life. Our Della saddle leather is moisture-resistant. Simply leave to dry at room temperature to regain its appearance. Because it is fed in a tallow bath (grease), a whitish film of paraffin can form on temperature shocks. Simply rub it off.
grith straps are the essential choice for demanding saddlery professionals. By opting for this exceptional leather, you're betting on craftsmanship and long-lasting performance that will enhance every one of your equestrian creations.
