PLC 100% Alpaca Cutter Cinch 12 Ply - Dark Brown

PLC cinches are the result of more than a decade of research, testing, and refinement. Made from a unique 100% alpaca, 12 ply cord, developed over eight years of research, they offer a level of comfort, durability, and performance rarely matched in equestrian equipment.

Alpaca fiber possesses exceptional natural properties. Free of lanolin, it is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it ideal for sensitive horses. Soft yet strong, it helps reduce friction, protect blood vessels, and improve the comfort of the horse’s skin. Thanks to its breathability, natural thermoregulation, and remarkable shock-absorbing capacity, the cinch ensures balanced pressure distribution while moving naturally with the horse.

Easy to maintain and built to last, PLC cinches are designed to stand the test of time — even generations — while maintaining their performance and quality.

However, the quality of a cinch does not rely on the cord alone. That is why PLC has also developed its own custom hardware. After testing most of the options available on the market, Patrice Larivée collaborated with foundries to design stainless steel buckles specifically adapted for cinches made with natural fibers.

These buckles are not only strong and durable; their design is intended to optimize tension distribution while protecting the integrity of the fibers. Every detail has been carefully considered to eliminate harmful edges and ensure smooth, reliable, and long-lasting performance.

The result is a cinch where natural materials, expert craftsmanship, and precision hardware work together to deliver maximum comfort for the horse.
