The Shires Highlander Original 300g Combo Turnout rug has a waterproof rating of 3000mm.
The rug has a breathability rating of 3000g/m2.
Yes, this rug is WarmaRug Compatible and can be used with separate 100g or 200g rug liners to increase its insulation.
PFC-free indicates that the rug's waterproof treatment does not contain per- or polyfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
It's best to brush off loose dirt and then hand or machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a specialized rug wash. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct heat.
These gussets are designed to allow for a greater range of motion, enabling your horse to move more freely without the rug restricting their shoulders and preventing chafing.
Measure your horse accurately and consult the sizing guide. The rug should fit snugly without being tight, allowing for movement. Ensure chest fastenings, surcingles, and fillet strap are adjusted appropriately.
The Durable Waterproof Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the rug thoroughly and follow instructions for applying a new DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Check that the shoulder gussets are lying flat and not bunched. Ensure the chest fastenings and surcingles are adjusted correctly, not too tight, and that the correct size rug has been selected.
Ensure straps are clean and free from debris. If trigger clips are stiff, they may need cleaning or a light lubrication with a silicone-based product suitable for outdoor gear.
The 300g fill is for cold weather. Consider removing the rug during milder parts of the day or using a lower-weight liner or a lighter rug if the temperature rises significantly.
Setup: Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Place the rug over the horse's back, aligning the shoulder gussets. Fasten the two trigger clip chest fastenings, adjusting for a comfortable fit. Secure the adjustable cross surcingles, ensuring they are snug but not tight, and use the clips to fasten them to the rug's D-rings. Attach the adjustable fillet strap through the tail flap and secure it around the horse's hindquarters, and connect the integrated leg strap loops if applicable.
Compatibility: This rug is compatible with Shires WarmaRug liners (100g and 200g) for adjustable warmth. Ensure liners are the correct size and type for optimal fit.
Care: To maintain the rug's waterproof and breathable properties, it should be cleaned regularly. Brush off loose dirt and mud after use. For deeper cleaning, hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a specialized rug wash. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents. Rinse thoroughly. Allow the rug to air dry completely, away from direct heat sources. Re-apply a DWR finish periodically to maintain waterproof performance.
