Atak Equus

Based in Galway, Ireland, Atak® Sports was established by Head2Head Sports – recognising a need for top quality sports equipment.

As stated by Atak® Sports on their website http://www.atak.ie/about-us.html: “Our goal is to develop performance enhancing products that match the sporting public’s needs and we work closely with sports people in developing our products.”

Atak® Equus is a brand from Atak® Sports incorporating specialist compression tops. Compression clothing enhances sporting performance. There are a number of benefits from wearing compression tops for horse riding, they include:

* Keeping you cool in the heat, to improve your stamina.

* Acting as a thermal base layer, keeping your muscles warm to prevent strain.

* Wicking away sweat because moisture is absorbed, moved to the surface of the fabric, then evaporated to keep you comfortable, whatever the weather.

* Due to the compression aspect, swelling is eased quickly which means muscle recovery is much faster due to increasing blood pressure and oxygenation.

* Lessening fatigue and preventing injury.

* Stretchy fabrics that allow a full range of movement, reducing irritation and maximising comfort.

Atak® Sport is the recipient of Ireland’s European Structural Investment Funds Programme 2014-2020, the European Regional Development Fund, and is involved with the Local Enterprise Office in Galway.
