[:es]The following list is the equipment used in polo for the polo players regularly:
The wad: It is made of a bamboo stick and a wooden “cigar” head. There are also graphite. Its length varies between 119 and 137 cm.
Helmet: it must be rigid on the outside and padded on the inside to protect the rider’s head from bumps or falls. It is also used to identify the player. Some helmets may include a face shield or chinstrap.
Riding Boots: These are typically brown leather and protect the players’ legs from bumps that could lead to serious injury. They have a small cleat that provides the necessary grip so that the feet are well attached to the stirrups.
Knee Pads: Like boots, they are used to protect the player’s legs from possible heels, blows, or falls. They also protect them if they are taken by another player on defense.
Gloves: Protect the rider’s hands and improve grip on the reins.
Elbow Pads: Provide protection for the player’s elbows against possible blows or falls.
Protective glasses: They offer the player security and protectionagainst possible impacts or blows.[:en]The following list is the equipment used in polo for the polo players regularly:
