- • Weather Protection: 1200D tear-resistant outer, waterproof and breathable for wet conditions
- • Best for: Horses turned out in rain, snow or wet paddocks needing lightweight coverage
- • Not ideal for: Horses requiring insulated rugs for deep winter warmth
Lightweight turnout rug built from a 1200D waterproof outer with no internal fill. High gusset, fleece wither protection and stainless steel hardware secure fit and reduce rubbing.
Keeps Coat Dry in Heavy Weather – Thanks to 1200D waterproof, breathable shell
1200D tear-resistant fabric repels water while the breathable construction allows moisture vapour to escape; an inner 210T imitation nylon lining reduces friction against the hair. Rust-free stainless steel fittings maintain secure attachment in wet conditions.
Reliable barrier against rain and driving weather while helping prevent trapped heat during activity. Suitable for extended turnout in wet British conditions.
Comfort and Freedom of Movement – With high gusset and fleece wither protection
High gusset design increases lateral room across the shoulder and hindquarters, reducing restriction during strides. A soft lambswool pad at the wither spreads pressure and minimises rubbing.
Generous cut and padded wither prevent chafing and allow natural movement when grazing or training. Horses keep comfortable without compromising mobility.
Stable, Secure Fit for Active Horses – With double chest buckle, cross surcingle and removable leg straps
Double chest buckles with Velcro-assisted closure deliver a snug front fit while cross surcingles and removable leg straps anchor the rug during exercise. Stainless steel hardware resists corrosion from moisture.
Fastenings hold the rug in place during turnout and light work, reducing slipping and the need for frequent readjustment. Fit remains consistent through wet weather use.
