Reviews
SmartPak Rub Guard is rated 2.6 out of 5 by 5.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Good until it stretches out Last year I bought this to try because it’s cheaper than the Equifit belly band. I found it to be very comparable in material, size, etc. Similar to the Equifit belly band they eventually stretch out over time. Now I feel stuck because mine is still in good working condition but I can’t get it tight enough to stay in place. It slips back durning my ride and it did not previously do that. Without the hooks the Equifit one has for the d rings, I’m not sure how to keep using it. So it was a cost savings initially but now will cost me more because I have to replace more often. Therefore, I don’t recommend.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Zero Stars I was using a barn mats Equifit belly band and thought I’d save some money and try the Smartpak one. Since the Smartpak one doesn’t have the D ring hooks that hook onto the saddle it moved so far back while riding. Glad my young horse didn’t buck me off. Picture is of our post ride.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Rubbed hair off Bought due to a spur rub on a very sensitive OTTB. It rubbed off a ton of hair on both of his sides (not on top of back or belly) in first use. Disappointing. But appreciate Smartpak’s customer service

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stays in Place! I bought this rub guard because I was struggling with some bug bites that turned into rubs by the girth. This was a lifesaver and allowed me to keep riding without making the rubs worse and allowing them to properly heal without causing my horse any discomfort. I found this rub guard much easier to use than other similar products I’ve tried. It stays put and doesn’t slide around while riding. The two straps on each side do a great job helping to keep everything in place. I also like that there aren’t any excess straps on top or any seams along the spine or under the saddle. The material is thin, but very durable and has a good amount of stretch to it. My horse wears a 54” girth and I got the oversize in this, and it fits him perfectly. This rub guard is super easy to care for, I usually let it air dry after it gets sweaty and after a handful of uses I will either hose down in the wash stall or throw it in the wash on cold and hang it to dry.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Comparable to Equifit belly band I decided to try the Smartpak version of this belly band since it was cheaper than the Equifit version. The material seems the same. The smartpak band does not have the 2 straps that clip to the D-rings on the front of the saddle. I’ve used it for several rides and I don’t have any issues with it sliding back. So this one is cheaper and a bit faster to tack up. So overall pleased with it.
