FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this rug?

The WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Essential Turnout Combo 220G is waterproof tested to a hydrostatic pressure of 2,000mm+ and breathable tested to 3,000g/m2+.

How much warmth does the 220g polyfill provide?

The 220g polyfill offers a good level of warmth suitable for cooler temperatures during autumn, winter, and early spring. It is designed to keep horses comfortable in moderate cold.

Can I use this rug in very cold or freezing weather?

For extremely cold conditions, the 220g fill might be insufficient on its own. You may need to add a rug liner or opt for a heavier weight rug. Always monitor your horse's comfort.

How do I clean the rug to maintain its waterproof properties?

Brush off loose dirt, then wash with a specific rug cleaner on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Avoid fabric softener and harsh detergents. Air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'Combo' mean in the product name?

The 'Combo' designation indicates that the rug includes an integrated neck cover, providing full coverage for the horse.

Is the neck cover detachable?

No, the neck cover on this specific model is integrated and not detachable.

What does PFC-free Guard-Tec coating refer to?

PFC-free refers to the absence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the waterproofing treatment, which is a more environmentally conscious approach to water repellency.

Troubleshooting

Rug is leaking water

Check for tears or damage to the outer shell. Ensure the waterproofing treatment is still effective and reapply if necessary. Wash using rug-specific cleaner and avoid detergents.

Horse seems too hot or too cold

For heat, consider removing the rug or using a lighter weight option. For cold, ensure the fit is correct and consider if a liner or a heavier rug is needed. The 220g fill is for moderate cold.

Rug is slipping or shifting

Adjust the front closures and surcingles for a more secure fit. Ensure leg straps are correctly attached and adjusted. Check that the rug is the correct size for your horse.

Rub marks appearing on the horse's coat

Ensure the rug is clean and the lining is smooth. Check for any seams or fastenings that might be causing friction. A correctly fitted rug is essential to prevent rubbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance.
  • Durable 1200 denier ripstop material.
  • Provides good warmth with 220g fill.
  • Designed to promote coat health with a smooth lining.
  • Offers freedom of movement for the horse.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for extreme arctic conditions.
  • Touch tape on front closure might wear over time.
  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproofing.
  • The 220g fill might be too warm for milder wet weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. A properly fitting rug is crucial for comfort and effectiveness.
  2. Fasten the twin adjustable quick-clip front closure, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit across the chest. Use the touch tape for fine adjustments.
  3. Secure the twin low cross surcingles, ensuring they are snug enough to provide stability without restricting breathing or movement.
  4. Attach the adjustable and removable leg straps, ensuring they are crossed over and comfortably fitted to prevent the rug from slipping backward.

Compatibility:

  • This is a turnout rug designed for use in the field.
  • The 220g fill makes it suitable for cooler, wet weather. For very cold temperatures, consider layering with a liner (if compatible and designed for layering) or a heavier weight rug.
  • Ensure your horse's other tack and equipment do not interfere with the rug's fit or placement.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and mud before washing. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (typically 30°C) with a specific rug wash or mild, non-detergent soap. Do NOT use fabric softener or harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproofing.
  • Drying: Air dry the rug away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
  • Reproofing: Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment annually or when water is no longer beading on the surface, following the product's instructions. Ensure the rug is clean and dry before reproofing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. A breathable rug bag is recommended.
