Product Information

Full details

The StormX Empra 300g Combi Turnout Rug is designed for horse owners needing a heavy-duty, protective solution for their animals during harsh winter conditions. Offering 300g of fill and a durable 600 denier ripstop exterior, this rug provides excellent thermal insulation and weather resistance, ensuring your horse stays warm and dry in freezing temperatures. While the integrated neck cover provides superior coverage, it is a heavyweight rug, meaning it is specifically best-suited for colder climates rather than mild, transitional weather.

FAQs

Is this rug suitable for all-day turnout?

Yes, it is specifically designed for turnout use, featuring waterproof and ripstop materials to handle outdoor conditions.

Can I use this rug for stabled horses?

While it can be used in the stable, the waterproof nature of the exterior may be less breathable than a dedicated stable rug.

Does the neck cover detach?

This model features an integrated contour neck cover designed for continuous coverage.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to determine the correct size in feet and inches.

What is the benefit of the poly-tec lining?

The poly-tec lining is designed to be smooth to prevent hair breakage and breathable to manage moisture build-up.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping or shifting while the horse is in the field

Double-check that the surcingles are crossed correctly and that the leg straps are adjusted to the proper length.

Water penetrating the rug after heavy rain

Check the exterior for rips or tears. If the waterproof coating has worn thin over time, consider applying a reputable waterproofing spray.

Rubbing marks on the horse's shoulders

Ensure the chest buckles are not too tight and consider using a silky shoulder guard underneath the rug.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Heavyweight insulation keeps horses warm in sub-zero temperatures
  • Waterproof and ripstop construction enhances rug longevity
  • Integrated neck cover ensures comprehensive element protection
  • Adjustable straps allow for a customizable fit
  • Reflective detailing improves safety during evening turnout

Cons

  • Too warm for mild spring or autumn weather
  • Requires careful storage to maintain waterproof integrity
  • Heavy material may be more challenging to clean than lighter sheets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your StormX Empra rug, follow these guidelines for setup and maintenance:

  1. Fitting: When placing the rug, ensure the chest buckles are adjusted so there is no rubbing at the withers, but the rug remains tight enough to prevent slipping. Secure the cross surcingles with a hand-width of space between the straps and the horse's belly.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and mud once dry. If deep cleaning is required, hose down with cold water. Avoid high-pressure washers, which can compromise the waterproof membrane.
  3. Storage: Always ensure the rug is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mold or mildew growth. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  4. Repairs: Small tears in the ripstop material should be repaired promptly with waterproof adhesive patches to maintain the rug's weather-defying integrity.
