The Shires Typhoon Turnout Rug is designed for horse owners seeking reliable protection against showery, mild weather. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and windproof coverage without added warmth, thanks to its 0g fill. A potential caveat is that the 0g fill makes it unsuitable for colder temperatures or horses needing extra insulation. This rug offers essential defense with features like a ShireTex® 840 denier outer, taped seams, adjustable fastenings, and a detachable neck cover.

This rug has 0g fill, making it ideal for mild, wet weather. It is best suited for temperatures where additional warmth is not required, typically during spring and autumn showers or on cooler summer days.
Rug sizing is usually based on the length of the rug along the top line. Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the rear point of the hindquarters. Consult Shires' sizing chart for specific measurements.
Yes, the neck cover is detachable and fastens with touch-close straps, allowing you to use the rug with or without it depending on the weather conditions or your horse's needs.
The rug features adjustable straps for a better fit, and the shoulder design aims to reduce rubbing. However, a correct fit is crucial. For horses that are particularly sensitive or destructive, extra care in fit and checking for wear is recommended.
Re-waterproofing is recommended annually or whenever you notice a decrease in water repellency (e.g., water soaking into the fabric rather than beading off). Ensure the rug is clean before applying any proofing treatment.
PFC-free means the rug has been treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that does not use perfluorinated chemicals. This is a more environmentally friendly approach to achieving water resistance.
Check if taped seams are intact. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric. Ensure the DWR coating is still effective; if not, re-apply.
Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Adjust the chest straps, surcingles, and fillet strap for a proper fit. Check for any debris caught in fastenings or on the rug.
Clean the touch-close fastenings on the neck cover and the metal parts of the chest straps and surcingles. If damage is present, consider repair or replacement.
This rug has 0g fill and is designed for mild weather. For colder conditions, consider a rug with insulation or add a fleece liner.
