The LeMieux Arika Camo-Tek Fly Rug is designed for horse owners seeking effective, breathable protection against flies during warmer weather. Its key benefit is deterring insects through a disruptive visual pattern and comprehensive coverage, though users should ensure proper fit for optimal comfort and protection. This rug features a technical fabric with mesh panels, an extended belly flap, longline tail flap, and a combi neck for adjustable, full-body defence, alongside UV protection.

The high-contrast camouflage pattern is designed to disrupt the visual perception of flies, making it harder for them to identify a target and land on the horse.
The rug has a UV rating of 70+, offering significant protection against harmful UV rays.
While the material offers some water resistance, it is primarily designed for fly protection and breathability in warm weather. It is not a waterproof turnout rug.
The rug is machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a non-bio detergent. It should be air-dried and not tumble dried.
Combi Neck refers to an integrated neck cover that is part of the rug, offering adjustable coverage and protection for the horse's head and neck.
The belly flap is an integrated part of the rug and is not detachable. It is designed to provide extended coverage.
The angled front closure is designed to reduce pressure on the horse's shoulders, allowing for a more comfortable and natural range of motion.
Check the fit. Ensure the rug is the correct size and that all straps are adjusted properly to avoid pressure points. The angled front closure should lie flat and not pull.
Verify that all coverage areas are being utilized (belly flap, tail flap, neck). Ensure there are no gaps where flies can access the horse's skin. The effectiveness of the camo pattern can vary based on fly species and individual horse sensitivity.
Ensure the mesh panels are not blocked by dirt or debris. In very hot and humid conditions, some heat retention is possible. Regular cleaning can help maintain breathability.
Check the adjustment of the belly straps and front closure. If the rug is significantly too large, it may shift. Ensure the rug is appropriate for the horse's build.
