Product Information

Full details

This Weatherbeeta ComFiTec Prelim Turnout Combo 0G rug is for horse owners seeking reliable, all-weather protection for their equine companions. Its key benefit is providing waterproof, breathable comfort that allows natural movement, even in damp or windy conditions. A minor caveat is that while designed for durability, like all turnout gear, it requires proper care to maintain its protective qualities over time. This rug features a 1200 denier ripstop outer shell, a smooth lining for coat care, and a traditional side gusset for freedom of movement.

FAQs

What is the denier of the outer shell, and what does it mean for durability?

The outer shell is 1200 denier, which indicates a high level of durability and resistance to rips and tears, making it suitable for horses that are hard on their rugs.

How waterproof is this rug?

The rug is waterproof, tested to a hydrostatic pressure of 2,000mm+, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure before leakage occurs.

Is this rug suitable for very cold weather?

This is a 0g turnout rug, meaning it has no filling. It is designed for protection against rain and wind in mild to warm conditions. For colder weather, you would need to layer it with a rug that has insulation (fill).

How often should I clean my turnout rug?

It is best to brush off loose dirt after each use. A full wash is recommended at least once or twice a season, or when visibly dirty or if performance is compromised. Always follow the specific care instructions.

Can I use a regular laundry detergent to wash the rug?

No, it is crucial to use a specialized cleaner for technical outdoor gear. Regular detergents can strip the waterproof coating and damage the fabric's performance.

What does 'ComFiTec' refer to?

'ComFiTec' signifies Weatherbeeta's commitment to comfort and technology in their equine rug range, integrating features that enhance the horse's wellbeing and the rug's performance.

Will this rug help my horse's coat stay shiny?

Yes, the 210T smooth lining is designed to reduce friction and rubbing, which helps to maintain the horse's coat condition and promote shine.

Troubleshooting

Rug appears to be leaking or no longer waterproof.

The waterproof coating may have degraded. Clean the rug thoroughly and apply a suitable re-waterproofing treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.

Horse is rubbing or experiencing coat damage.

Check if the rug size is correct and the lining is clean. Ensure the surcingles are adjusted correctly and not too tight. Wash the lining to remove any accumulated debris.

Surcingles are difficult to adjust or fasten.

Ensure the surcingles are clean and free from mud or debris. If they remain stiff, a fabric conditioner suitable for outdoor gear might help, or seek professional repair if damaged.

Rug does not fit smoothly or causes pulling.

Verify the rug size and fit. The front closures and surcingles may need adjustment to distribute pressure evenly across the horse's body.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for all-weather protection.
  • Durable ripstop outer shell resists damage.
  • Smooth lining prevents coat rubbing and enhances shine.
  • Designed for freedom of movement.
  • Secure fit with adjustable closures and surcingles.

Cons

  • May require occasional cleaning to maintain optimal performance.
  • Specific sizing needs to be confirmed for each horse.
  • 0g fill means it offers no insulation, suitable for milder temperatures or layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Fasten the double buckle front closure, adjusting for a snug but not tight fit. Secure the hook-and-loop fasteners. Fasten the two low cross surcingles, ensuring they are even and secure.

Compatibility: This rug is designed for horses requiring protection from rain and wind. Its 0g fill makes it suitable for mild to warm temperatures, or for horses that naturally have a thicker coat. It can potentially be layered with other rugs for added warmth in colder weather, provided the fit remains comfortable and allows for movement.

Care: To maintain the rug's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and debris after each use. For deeper cleaning, hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild, non-detergent-based cleaner specifically designed for technical outdoor gear. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and lining.
  2. Drying: Always air dry the rug. Do not tumble dry or place near direct heat sources, as this can compromise the waterproof treatment. Hang it over a sturdy rail in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
  3. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider re-waterproofing the rug annually or as needed, using a suitable spray or wash-in treatment available from equestrian suppliers.
