FAQs

How much UV protection does this rug offer?

The Super Lite Fly Rug reflects approximately 70% of UV rays, providing excellent defense against sun damage.

Will the neck cover stay up while grazing?

Yes, the extended integrated neck cover is designed to provide coverage even while grazing, and the double-locking neck cover straps ensure it stays securely in place.

Is this rug suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

Yes, the rug is lined with anti-static and antibacterial polyester at key contact points (mane, wither, and shoulders) to promote coat health and prevent rubbing.

How do I wash the fly rug?

The rug can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild, non-biological detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry.

How long will it take for the rug to soften?

The rug is designed to feel softer and more flexible after a few uses and washes as the material becomes more pliable.

What is the benefit of the PVC-coated tail strap?

The PVC coating on the tail strap makes it easy to clean and helps to preserve its durability over time, ensuring it remains functional.

Can I use this rug in cooler weather?

This rug is engineered for hot climates and maximum breathability. For cooler or wet weather, a different type of rug would be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Rug appears stiff upon arrival.

This is normal for the lightweight nylon material. The rug will soften and become more pliable after a few uses and washes.

Rug slips to one side.

Ensure the cross surcingles are adjusted correctly and securely. Check that the chest clips are fully fastened and the tail strap is attached properly.

Horse seems uncomfortable or rubbed.

Verify the rug is the correct size and that the lining at the mane, wither, and shoulder is lying flat. Ensure the neck cover and chest straps are not too tight.

Material is not as expected.

The Super Lite is intentionally made from ultra-lightweight nylon for maximum breathability and coolness. This differs from heavier, traditional fly rugs.
