The SKL (Soft Knee Leg Area) is the most popular rider comfort upgrade in the El Campo line, designed for those who spend hours in the saddle.

The SKL is defined by the soft, padded insert integrated into the flap where your thigh and knee rest. This cushioning dramatically enhances comfort, especially for long distances. Crucially, the adjustable Velcro Knee Blocks are still present beneath this soft flap, allowing you to fine-tune the support while benefiting from the soft padding.

Key Differentiator: Rider Comfort

• SKL Feature: Includes the signature Soft Knee Leg Area padded insert on the flap.

• Velcro Knee Blocks: Fully adjustable support is hidden beneath the SKL padding.

• Rider Feel: Provides a cushioned, non-pinching feel on the inner thigh and knee, making it perfect for daily riding.

Ideal Horse & Activities

• Horse Conformation: Ideal for horses who are ridden for long hours, as the rider's increased comfort translates to better movement. Best for broad, flat backs.

• Activities: Long-Distance Trail Riding, Endurance, Dressage Schooling.
