Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

Yes, the 1680 denier outer fabric is designed to be highly water-resistant for heavy turnout use.

Can the hood be used without the rug?

No, the hood is designed to be attached to the rug to ensure proper coverage and stability.

How do I determine the right size for my horse?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to find the corresponding size in feet.

Is the 360g fill too warm for a clipped horse?

360g is a heavyweight fill, typically best for unclipped horses in very cold climates or clipped horses in extreme freezing conditions.

What is the best way to clean this rug?

Hose off excess mud and use a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, follow instructions for heavy-duty turnout rug washing without harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping or shifting while the horse is moving

Check that leg straps are correctly adjusted and not too loose, and ensure the chest closure is tightened to the horse's specific dimensions.

Waterproofing seems less effective over time

The rug may require a reproofing wash to restore the water-repellent finish, especially after heavy seasonal use.

Neck piece causing rubbing

Adjust the neck attachments to ensure the rouched hood is sitting centrally and not pulling tight against the horse's mane.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-denier material is highly resistant to wear and tear
  • Thick insulation provides excellent cold-weather performance
  • Detachable neck offers adaptable protection levels
  • Rouched hood minimizes drafts around the neck and head area
  • Secure chest closure ensures the rug stays in place during turnout

Cons

  • Not suitable for mild weather due to heavy insulation
  • Requires proper sizing to ensure the rouched hood fits correctly
  • Heavyweight material requires more effort to clean and dry

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the chest clips are adjusted symmetrically so the rug sits level across the horse's withers. When attaching the neck piece, verify that the connection points are secure to prevent flapping. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the 1680 denier polyester, avoid using harsh detergents during washing. Instead, use a mild, specialized turnout cleaner. Always allow the rug to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storage to prevent mildew buildup within the 360g polyfil.
