Will Impact Gel Break Down Over Time?

Impact Gel is a popular material known for its exceptional shock-absorbing properties, making it a top choice for protective gear in various industries, including Saddle Pads. But a common question that arises is: Will Impact Gel break down over time?

Impact Gel is made up of a unique blend of polymers that are designed to withstand high levels of impact without losing their effectiveness. These polymers are cross-linked, meaning they are chemically bonded to create a strong and durable material. This chemical composition is what gives Impact Gel its long-lasting properties.

Extensive testing and research have been conducted to assess the longevity of Impact Gel. Studies have shown that even after years of use, Impact Gel maintains its shock-absorbing capabilities and structural integrity. In fact, Impact Gel has been proven to outlast many other materials commonly used for impact protection.

In the video below, Impact Gel's long lasting shock-absorbing properties were put to the test as we ripped apart a 15+ year old saddle pad and used a hammer to demonstrate the gel still worked. The gel, though over 15 years old still protected from impact caused by the hammer.

In conclusion, Impact Gel is a durable and long-lasting material that is designed to maintain its effectiveness over time. So rest assured, your Saddle Pad made with Impact Gel will continue to provide reliable protection for years to come.
