FAQs

What is the fill weight of the Highlander Original 50 Neck Cover?

The neck cover features 50g of polyfill insulation, designed for lightweight warmth and moisture reduction.

How do I attach the neck cover to my horse's rug?

The neck cover attaches to compatible turnout rugs using D-rings and touch-close straps, ensuring a secure and adjustable fit.

Is this neck cover suitable for very cold weather?

The Highlander Original 50 Neck Cover is designed for milder, wet conditions. For colder weather, consider using a rug liner or a heavier weight rug.

What does 'WarmaRug Compatible' mean?

While the 'WarmaRug Compatible' feature applies to the turnout rugs, it signifies that separate rug liners (e.g., 100g or 200g) can be used to increase the warmth rating of the compatible turnout rug, though this specific neck cover is a fixed 50g fill.

How should I clean and care for the neck cover?

It is recommended to cool wash the neck cover and do not tumble dry or iron. Maintain water repellency with appropriate equestrian fabric treatments.

What are the waterproof and breathability ratings?

The neck cover has a waterproof rating of 3000mm and a breathability rating of 3000g/m².

Is the outer material ripstop?

Yes, the outer fabric is a 600 denier ripstop polyester, designed for durability.

Troubleshooting

Neck cover does not stay attached to the turnout rug.

Ensure the D-rings on the turnout rug are correctly aligned with the loops on the neck cover. Check that the touch-close fastenings are securely attached and clean. If the touch-close fasteners are losing their grip, consider cleaning them gently.

Horse seems uncomfortable or is overheating.

This neck cover is designed for milder conditions. If your horse is overheating, the temperature may be too high for this rug. Consider removing the neck cover or switching to a lighter, unlined option.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

While the rug is waterproof, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or a damaged DWR finish can affect performance. Ensure seams are intact and consider a reproofing treatment to restore water repellency.
