LeMieux Arika Sunstopper Sheet - Grey

Its primary purpose is to protect horses from UV rays and insects while providing a light layer of warmth during transitional seasons.

The upper material offers UPF50+ protection, which blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

While the micro-mesh lower section allows for airflow, the ripstop upper may be too warm on extremely hot days. It is best suited for milder temperatures or days with significant sun exposure but cooler ambient temperatures.

No, the neck cover is detachable, allowing you to adapt the rug to different weather conditions and your horse's comfort needs.

Ripstop fabric is a weaving technique designed to make it resistant to tearing and ripping. It's known for its strength and durability.

It can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry; air dry naturally.

No, the rug is designed with a patented two-part skirt and an angled 45-degree T-bar front fastening specifically to allow for maximum freedom of movement across the shoulder and chest.

Check that the front closure is secure and that the surcingles (if present) are adjusted correctly. Ensure the rug is the right size for your horse.

On warmer days, consider removing the detachable neck cover to increase ventilation. Ensure the rug fits correctly and is not too tight.

Ensure the T-bar and any other fastenings are clean and free of debris. Lubricating metal fastenings occasionally may help.

For small tears in the ripstop material, use a repair patch kit designed for outdoor gear to prevent further damage. For significant tears, consult a professional rug repair service.
