FAQs

Is the Buster 250g suitable for extreme cold?

The 250g fill is classified as medium weight, typically suitable for autumn or mild winter weather. In extreme sub-zero temperatures, additional layering may be required.

Can I machine wash this rug?

It is highly recommended to use a professional equestrian rug wash service to ensure the membranes and waterproof coatings are not damaged by domestic machine cycles.

Why is the shoulder gusset elasticated?

The elastication allows the gusset to stretch during movement, providing the horse with greater freedom and reducing pressure points on the shoulder.

How do I measure for this rug?

Measure from the center of the chest to the center of the tail, following the side of the horse, to determine the correct size in feet and inches.

Is the neck cover included?

Yes, this model includes a detachable neck cover as part of the system for comprehensive weather protection.

Troubleshooting

Moisture buildup under the rug

Ensure the horse is not being over-rugged for the current temperature, and check that the rug is properly fitted to allow airflow through the membrane system.

Rug slipping or sliding

Check that the chest buckles are tight enough and ensure the leg straps are adjusted to the correct length to keep the rug centered.

Waterproofing seems less effective

Dirt accumulation can clog the breathable pores; gently wash the outer shell to clear the surface, or consider a specialized re-proofer if the Teflon coating has worn down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-spec 10,000mm waterproof and 10,000g breathability ratings
  • Reinforced 840D ballistic nylon resists field tears
  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties keep the horse's coat dry
  • Reflective detailing adds essential safety for low-light conditions
  • Stainless steel hardware provides long-term rust resistance

Cons

  • The 250g fill may be too warm for mild, wet days
  • Requires professional cleaning to maintain membrane effectiveness
  • Premium features represent a higher tier of investment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, ensure the front chest fastenings are adjusted so the rug sits correctly at the wither without dropping. The detachable neck cover should be secured using the provided loops for a snug fit. To maintain the waterproof properties and the integrity of the membranes, avoid using harsh detergents. Hand-wash or use a professional equestrian rug cleaning service. Always allow the rug to dry naturally in a ventilated area, away from direct heat sources which can damage the waterproofing treatments.
