Product Information
Full details

Its key benefit is the triple-layer technical fabric that rapidly wicks away moisture. A potential consideration is its specific suitability for cooler weather, making it less ideal for very warm conditions.

Troubleshooting
Rug is not effectively wicking moisture
Ensure the rug is clean. Dirt and residue can impede the wicking properties of the technical fabric. Wash according to care instructions.
Fittings appear loose or damaged
Inspect all stainless steel fittings and straps. If any part is damaged, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer for replacement parts or repair advice.
Horse seems too warm or too cold
This rug is designed as a cooler. For very cold weather, consider an additional stable or turnout rug. For very warm weather, a lighter sheet might be more appropriate.
Rug is causing static
Ensure the rug is clean and dry. Static can sometimes be more prevalent in very dry conditions. If the issue persists, consider using an anti-static spray designed for equine use.
