The LeMieux Arika Ripstop 50g Turnout Rug in Green is designed for horse owners seeking reliable protection during transitional weather. Its key benefit is offering a balance of waterproofing and breathability in a lightweight, durable package. A potential consideration is the 50g fill, which may not be sufficient for very cold conditions. This rug is built with a 600 Denier ripstop outer, 3000mm waterproof rating, and 3000mvp breathability, making it ideal for keeping your horse dry and comfortable in wet conditions, with the added versatility of a compatible liner system.

The 50g fill provides a lightweight level of insulation, ideal for mild weather or transitional seasons where extreme cold is not a factor. It offers a touch of warmth without being overly heavy.
You would typically use a liner if your horse needs more warmth than the 50g fill provides, or if the weather turns significantly colder. The liner system allows for customization based on the daily temperature and your horse's needs.
Yes, the rug has a 3000mm waterproof rating, which is suitable for most rain conditions. However, prolonged exposure to extreme downpours might eventually test its limits, but for typical wet weather, it offers excellent protection.
It is best to brush off loose dirt first. Then, either hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a specialized rug wash. Rinse thoroughly and air dry; do not tumble dry.
MVP stands for 'Moisture Vapor Permeability.' A 3000mvp rating indicates that the rug allows 3000 grams of moisture vapor to pass through each square meter of fabric over a 24-hour period, signifying good breathability.
Yes, the detachable neck can be cleaned following the same care instructions as the main body of the rug. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
Check the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If diminished, a re-waterproofing treatment may be necessary. Ensure all seams are intact and the fabric is not damaged.
Adjust the rug by adding or removing an Arika liner. For hotter conditions, ensure the neck is detached if not needed. For colder conditions, consider a heavier weight liner.
Ensure the buckles and straps are clean and free from debris. Check for any twisting in the straps before fastening.
For minor snags, the ripstop nature of the fabric should prevent further tearing. For larger tears, repair using a specialized rug repair kit or patch to maintain waterproofing.
Setup: The rug comes with a detachable neck piece. To attach or detach the neck, simply use the provided fastenings. Ensure the rug is fitted correctly on your horse, with the surcingles snug but not too tight, and the chest straps comfortably fastened.
Compatibility: This rug is fully compatible with the Arika rug liner system. Liners can be attached at the neck and rear of the rug, allowing you to customize the warmth and protection level.
