FAQs
Is this rug waterproof?
Yes, the rug features a 1200 denier outer shell with a specialized repel shell coating designed to be both fully waterproof and breathable.
What temperature range is 220g fill for?
The 220g polyfill is considered a medium weight, typically ideal for cool to cold temperatures, generally between 0°C and 10°C depending on the individual horse's clip status.
Can the leg straps be removed?
Yes, the leg straps are adjustable and fully removable based on your preference and the horse's comfort.
Does this rug have a neck cover?
Yes, the 'Combo' in the title indicates that this rug features an integrated neck cover for full-body protection.
How do I prevent coat rubbing at the shoulders?
Ensure the rug is the correct size. The 210 denier lining is designed to minimize friction, but a clean coat and proper buckle adjustment are also key.
Troubleshooting
The rug is slipping to one side.
Check that the surcingles are adjusted evenly and snugly, and ensure the leg straps are properly threaded and adjusted to prevent shifting.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The waterproof coating may be wearing thin. Clean the rug and apply a specialized technical fabric re-proofer to restore water repellency.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, always measure your horse from the center of the chest to the edge of the tail. When putting on the rug, fasten the front buckles first to establish position, followed by the surcingles, ensuring there is a hand's width between the strap and the horse's belly.
Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Brush off dried mud regularly. If deep cleaning is required, use a gentle hose down or professional rug wash specifically designed for waterproof membranes.
- Storage: Always store in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.
- Maintenance: Check leg straps and buckles for signs of wear each season; replace worn hardware to ensure the rug remains secure.
