Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this rug suitable for winter use?

This is a 0g lite rug, meaning it has no fill. It is designed to keep the horse dry in wet, mild weather, not for warmth.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

It is generally recommended to hose down or hand wash the rug to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane, though some industrial machines can accommodate these rugs.

What does 1000D refer to?

1000D refers to the denier of the polypropylene fabric, indicating a high-strength, heavy-duty weave designed for maximum tear resistance.

Does this rug come with leg straps?

The rug is secured with three cross-surcingles; please check the specific packaging to see if leg straps are included for your region.

Can I add a liner to this rug?

Yes, this model features liner loops that are compatible with the Horseware liner system.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Ensure all three surcingles are adjusted to an even tension and the chest closure is properly secured.

Water leaking through the rug

Check the outer shell for deep tears that may have compromised the inner membrane and ensure the rug is cleaned only with authorized, non-detergent products.

Shoulder rubbing

Adjust the V-Front closure to ensure it is not sitting too low or too high on the chest.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable 1000D polypropylene outer material
  • Excellent freedom of movement via dual leg arches
  • Anti-bacterial and anti-static lining supports coat health
  • Includes a detachable hood for customizable coverage
  • Superior pressure relief on shoulders through V-Front design

Cons

  • Provides no thermal insulation as it is a 0g weight
  • Requires proper sizing for the V-Front closure to function effectively
  • High-denier material may feel stiff when new

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, secure the V-Front closure first, adjusting the straps to distribute weight evenly across the shoulder. The three surcingles should be tightened so that a hand's width can comfortably fit between the strap and the horse's belly. For maintenance, it is recommended to brush off dried mud with a soft brush. If a deeper clean is required, use only cold water and specialized, non-detergent rug wash to preserve the waterproof membrane. The rug is compatible with Horseware liner systems, allowing you to attach thermal layers if the temperature drops. Always store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
