FAQs

What is the hydrostatic pressure rating for the waterproof panel?

The waterproof upper panel is tested to 3000mm hydrostatic pressure, indicating strong water resistance.

How breathable is the mesh paneling?

The mesh panels are tested for moisture vapour at 3000g/m2+, providing good breathability.

Can the neck cover be detached?

Yes, this is a 'Detach-A-Neck' model, meaning the neck cover can be removed to suit different weather conditions.

What material is the lining made of?

The lining is a smooth 210T material, designed to reduce friction and enhance coat shine.

How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the rear edge of the hindquarters. Compare this measurement to the size chart provided by Weatherbeeta. Ensure adjustable straps are used correctly without overtightening.

What is the purpose of the memory foam wither pads?

The memory foam pads conform to the horse's wither shape, providing cushioning, reducing pressure, and lifting the rug to prevent rubbing.

Is this rug suitable for all seasons?

Yes, its hybrid design offers protection from rain, sun, and insects, with ventilation for warmer days and waterproofing for wet conditions, making it suitable for year-round use.

Troubleshooting

Rug not fitting correctly or slipping

Check that the correct size has been selected. Adjust the twin front closures and the leg straps for a more secure fit. Ensure the belly wrap is correctly fastened.

Horse appears too hot or too cold

Assess the current weather conditions. The hybrid design should offer good temperature regulation, but consider layering or removing the neck cover if applicable for your specific model and the external temperature.

Wither rubbing or pressure points

Ensure the memory foam wither pads are correctly positioned and allow the rug to 'sit' correctly. Re-adjust the front closures to ensure the rug is not pulling forward onto the wither.

Waterproofing seems reduced

Check the rug for damage or wear. Ensure it is clean; dirt and residue can affect waterproofing. Re-waterproofing treatments may be necessary if performance degrades over time and after thorough cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers multi-season protection against various weather conditions and insects.
  • Hybrid design provides both waterproofing and excellent breathability.
  • Designed for horse comfort with memory foam and smooth lining.
  • Ensures a secure and adjustable fit for freedom of movement.
  • Durable construction with ripstop upper for longevity.

Cons

  • Requires careful measurement to ensure the correct size for optimal fit.
  • The mesh panels, while durable, may require careful handling to prevent snagging.
  • Detachable neck feature adds complexity that some users may find unnecessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse before fitting. Place the rug over the horse's back, aligning the wither pads. Secure the front closures, adjusting the twin quick-clip fastenings for a snug but not tight fit. Attach the removable leg straps and adjust them to ensure they cross comfortably under the belly and are not too tight. Finally, ensure the ultra belly wrap and tail flap are positioned for full coverage.

Compatibility: This rug is designed for horses. It is compatible with standard horse tack and turnout environments. Ensure no sharp objects are present in the turnout area that could damage the fabric.

Care: Clean the rug regularly to maintain its performance and longevity. Brush off loose dirt and mud when dry. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and cold water, rinsing thoroughly. Allow the rug to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry or machine wash unless specifically indicated by the manufacturer's care label.
