FAQs
Is this cooler suitable for overnight use?
Yes, it is designed for comfort in the stable, provided the temperature is moderate.
Can this be worn under a winter rug?
While it can be layered, the 3D Air Mesh is best used as a standalone cooler or for transport to allow moisture to escape.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to match standard rug sizing guidelines.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always use a wash bag if possible to protect the surcingles.
What is the purpose of the 3D Air Mesh?
It provides a structure that holds the fabric slightly off the skin, encouraging air circulation and faster evaporation of moisture.
Troubleshooting
Rug slips to one side
Check that the cross-over belly straps are adjusted equally and the chest surcingles are fastened firmly.
Shoulder rubbing
Ensure the shoulder gussets are properly aligned and that the chest closures are not fastened too tightly.
Fillet string creates friction
Adjust the length of the fillet string so it sits lightly under the tail without pulling against the dock.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for quick drying
- Lightweight and breathable material
- Allows for full freedom of movement during wear
- High-quality construction with thoughtful pressure-point protection
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy-duty turnout or cold weather protection
- Material may catch on sharp edges in the stable
- Requires careful washing to preserve the mesh structure
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by securing the chest surcingles and adjusting them until the overlap is snug but not tight. Once the front is secure, adjust the cross-over belly straps to ensure the fabric sits close to the horse's barrel without sagging. For care, it is recommended to brush off excess hair and dirt regularly. When washing, use a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent to maintain the integrity of the 3D Air Mesh material. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the performance fibers; instead, air dry the rug in a clean, ventilated area.
