Full details

FAQs

Is this rug suitable for winter?

This is a lightweight 50g rug, so it is designed for mild, wet conditions rather than deep winter temperatures.

How do I wash the Mackey Wicklow Turnout?

It is recommended to hose it down with cold water and brush off dirt; avoid machine washing to preserve the waterproofing.

Can the neck piece be removed?

Yes, the neck piece is detachable, allowing you to use the rug with or without it depending on the weather.

What is the Denier rating?

The rug features a 1680 Denier outer, which is very high and offers excellent durability against tears.

Does it come with leg straps?

Yes, it includes detachable leg straps to help keep the rug secure in windy conditions.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the fabric is both waterproof and breathable to prevent moisture build-up while keeping the horse dry.

Troubleshooting

Rug shifting or sliding to one side

Check the fit of the chest closures and ensure the leg straps are adjusted to the correct length.

Water leaking through the fabric

The fabric may need to be reproofed with a professional horse rug waterproofing spray if it has been heavily used or washed.

Difficulty with chest clips

Clear any debris or mud from the clip mechanisms; ensure the tension isn't too tight, which can jam the mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable 1680 Denier outer shell
  • Lightweight insulation perfect for wet, transitional seasons
  • Waterproof and breathable fabric technology
  • Freedom of movement provided by shoulder gussets
  • Flexible configuration with detachable neck and leg straps

Cons

  • Not suitable for extremely cold or freezing temperatures
  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproofing properties
  • Detachable components may get lost if not stored properly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, begin by draping the main body over the horse's back, then secure the chest clips, adjusting for a snug but comfortable fit. If needed, attach the neck piece using the designated secure points. Ensure the leg straps are adjusted to prevent the rug from swinging while allowing enough slack for movement. For care, brush off dried mud with a soft brush to maintain breathability. If deep cleaning is required, hose down with cold water; avoid harsh detergents that may strip the waterproof coating. Always store in a dry, cool place when not in use to prevent mildew.
