Product Information
Full details
The Shires Typhoon 100g Standard Neck Turnout Rug is an ideal solution for horse owners seeking reliable protection during mild, transitional weather conditions. Designed to keep horses comfortable, dry, and warm without the bulk of heavy winter fill, it offers an excellent balance of durability and breathability. While it provides robust weather resistance, it is specifically intended for mild days and may not offer enough insulation for freezing temperatures or extreme winter climates.

FAQs
Can I use this rug in the middle of winter?
The 100g fill is intended for mild weather; it will likely be too thin for deep winter temperatures.
Is the rug waterproof?
Yes, it is fully waterproof with taped seams, making it suitable for wet weather conditions.
How do I choose the right size for my horse?
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the center of the tail to find the correct length in inches or feet.
Does it come with neck cover attachments?
This is a standard neck rug and does not include attachments for a separate neck cover.
How often should I re-waterproof the rug?
Re-waterproofing depends on usage; if you notice water no longer beads on the surface after a light wash, it is time to reapply a DWR spray.
Troubleshooting
Rug slipping to one side
Check that the cross surcingles are adjusted evenly and ensure the chest straps are not too loose.
Water soaking through the outer layer
The DWR finish may need to be reapplied. Wash the rug with a specialized technical fabric cleaner and apply a waterproof reproofer.
Rubbing at the chest
Ensure the fit is correct at the shoulders and consider using a thin shoulder guard if the horse has sensitive skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the chest straps are adjusted so the rug sits comfortably at the base of the neck without pulling backward or sagging. Cross the surcingles under the belly, ensuring they are snug enough to keep the rug in place but loose enough for the horse to move freely. Always attach the fillet strap to prevent the rug from blowing over the horse's back during windy weather. For care, gently brush off dried mud regularly. When washing, use a non-detergent rug wash to avoid damaging the waterproof coating, and always air dry the rug completely away from direct heat sources to preserve the fabric's integrity.
