This guide is for horse owners seeking reliable protection for their horses in wet and cool conditions.

The rug has a waterproof rating of 2000mm.
The rug has a breathability rating of 3000g/m²/24hrs.
This rug features 220g of Polyfill insulation.
The 220g filling is suitable for cooler weather and milder winter days. For extreme cold, additional layering or a rug with higher insulation may be necessary.
A proper fit means the rug covers the horse comfortably without pulling at the shoulders or hindquarters. You should be able to fit two fingers snugly between the surcingles and the horse's belly. The chest straps should be secure but not tight.
Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with specialized rug repair kits or by a professional. For significant damage, especially to waterproof seams, replacement may be the best option.
It is recommended to reproof the rug annually or whenever you notice water no longer beads on the surface. This ensures its waterproof and breathable performance is maintained.
Check for damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure the rug has been reproofed recently. Make sure the rug is not excessively dirty, as this can impede breathability and potentially lead to dampness.
Verify the rug is the correct size and fitted properly. Adjust the surcingles and chest straps. Ensure the friction-free lining is clean and free of debris. Check for any external irritants on the horse.
Ensure buckles are clean and free of mud or debris. Check that the straps are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten.
Ensure the rug is hung in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry. It may take longer to dry than expected, especially in humid conditions.
Setup: Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Drape the rug over the horse's back, ensuring the neck section sits comfortably. Secure the adjustable chest buckles and the low cross surcingles. Adjust the surcingles so they are snug but not tight, allowing for two fingers to fit underneath. The tail cord should be secured to prevent the rug from lifting.
Compatibility: This rug is designed for horses turned out in fields. It is compatible with most standard horse builds. Ensure no existing tack or blankets interfere with its placement.
