THE HMR QUALITY: MATERIALS WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Every creation of mine is born from the selection of the best technical materials, chosen to guarantee maximum resistance, safety, and comfort. In my creative space in Venice, I work exclusively with original USA materials born for the outdoors and parachuting, alongside certified ropes from the nautical and equestrian sectors. Discover the characteristics and technologies of every single raw material.
What is Paracord?
The cord born for American military parachutes during World War II, now adapted by me for the well-being and safety of your dog. It consists of an internal core of nylon strands protected by a super-resistant woven sheath. My Paracord 550 supports up to 550 pounds (about 249 kg) of tension before breaking!
Why is it ideal for HMR collars?
- Ultra-lightweight: It doesn't weigh down the dog's neck.
- Super soft: Maximum gentleness on the fur, preventing friction.
- Invulnerable: It doesn't rot and resists mold, water, and UV rays.
- Practical: Easy to wash, even in the washing machine at 30°C.
