FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the PremTex Cooler Rug?
The PremTex Cooler Rug is designed for high-tech cooling and thermal regulation, primarily used to wick moisture and sweat away from a horse's coat after exercise or during travel, keeping them dry and comfortable.
What materials are used in the rug's construction?
The rug is made from advanced triple-layer fabrics including acrylics, polypropylene, and polyester yarns, with wool providing key breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
Is this rug suitable for all weather conditions?
This rug is particularly effective and cozy for Spring, Autumn, and Winter months. Due to its thick and thermal nature, it may be too warm for very hot weather.
How do I clean the PremTex Cooler Rug?
It can be machine washed on a 40°C cycle using a non-biological, colour-safe detergent. Close all fastenings before washing and air dry away from direct heat. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
What does 'Anti-Static treated' mean for the rug?
The Anti-Static treatment helps to minimize the build-up of static electricity on your horse's coat, providing additional comfort and preventing potential irritation.
Can this rug be used as a turnout rug?
No, the PremTex Cooler Rug is designed for stable, travel, or post-exercise use and is not intended as a turnout rug for outdoor conditions.
What are the benefits of the wool component?
The wool component is highly breathable, wicks away moisture effectively, helps regulate temperature, and has natural antibacterial properties, significantly contributing to the rug's drying speed and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Rug does not seem to be wicking effectively.
Ensure the rug is clean and free from dirt or stable stains, as these can impede wicking properties. Check that the rug is not overly saturated before the wicking action can begin.
Horse appears too warm or too cool under the rug.
Adjust rug usage based on ambient temperature and the horse's activity level. This rug is designed for cooler conditions; consider a lighter or heavier rug for extreme temperatures. Ensure the fit is correct and not too tight or loose.
Fastenings are difficult to secure.
Ensure all straps and buckles are free from debris. If straps show signs of wear, contact customer support for potential replacements.
Material feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using the recommended washing conditions and detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or incorrect drying methods. Air drying away from direct heat should help maintain material flexibility.
