FAQs
What is the fill weight of this rug?
This is a 0g fill rug, meaning it has no additional insulation and is designed for mild weather conditions or for horses that don't require much warmth.
Is this rug suitable for very cold weather?
No, the 0g fill makes it unsuitable for cold weather on its own. However, it is compatible with the Weatherbeeta liner system, allowing you to add warmth with separate liners for colder temperatures.
How do I clean the rug?
Rinse with cold water to remove dirt. For a deeper clean, use a rug-specific wash or mild detergent on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Always air dry and do not tumble dry.
What does 'PFC-free Guard-Tec coating' mean?
This refers to the waterproof and breathable coating on the outer shell. 'PFC-free' indicates that it does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional treatments.
What is the warranty period?
Weatherbeeta offers a 3-year warranty on the waterproof and breathability of the outer shell fabric only. Normal wear and tear are not covered.
Can I use this rug with other brands of liners?
This rug is specifically designed to be compatible with the Weatherbeeta liner system for optimal fit and performance. Using liners from other brands may not fit correctly or could cause rubbing.
How often should I check the rug for damage?
It is recommended to check the rug regularly, especially before and after each use, for any signs of wear, tears, or damage to the fabric, seams, or fastenings.
Troubleshooting
Rug appears to be leaking water.
Ensure all seams are intact and the fabric itself is not torn. Re-waterproofing treatments may be needed if the fabric's performance has degraded over time. Check that the outer shell fabric is clean, as dirt can impede breathability and water-repellency.
Horse is rubbing or getting sores.
Verify the rug is the correct size and fit. Adjust the surcingles and leg straps for a secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure the smooth 210T lining is clean and free from debris that could cause irritation. The fleece wither pad should be positioned correctly.
The front closures are difficult to fasten.
Ensure the touch tape is clean and free of debris. If the touch tape is worn, it may need replacement. Ensure the straps are aligned correctly before attempting to clip.
Rug is too warm for the horse.
This is a 0g fill rug, intended for mild weather. For warmer days, consider removing the rug or using it without any added liners. If the horse is still overheating, a lighter weight or unlined sheet may be more appropriate.
Reflective binding is peeling.
While designed for durability, reflective elements can wear over time with extensive use and washing. Gently clean the area without harsh chemicals. If peeling is severe, it may affect visibility in low light.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly waterproof and breathable for excellent protection.
- Durable 1200 denier ripstop material withstands tough conditions.
- Smooth lining minimizes rubbing and maintains coat condition.
- Reflective elements increase visibility for safety.
- Adjustable closures and leg straps provide a secure fit.
- Compatibility with liner system offers versatility for different weather.
Cons
- 0g fill means it's not suitable for cold weather on its own.
- Standard neck design may not offer sufficient coverage for some horses in harsh conditions.
- Reliance on touch tape for initial closure may wear over time.
- Requires regular cleaning to maintain waterproof and breathable properties.
- While durable, extreme wear and tear could still compromise the fabric.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Unfold the rug and place it over your horse, ensuring the standard neck lies smoothly.
- Secure the twin adjustable quick-clip front closures, using the touch tape for initial alignment before clipping.
- Adjust the twin low cross surcingles to a comfortable, snug fit. Ensure they are not too tight to restrict breathing or movement.
- Attach and adjust the leg straps to keep the rug from shifting. These are removable if not needed.
- Ensure the large tail flap is positioned correctly for maximum coverage.
Compatibility:
- This rug is compatible with the Weatherbeeta liner system. Liners are available separately in various weights (e.g., 100g, 200g) to add warmth as needed.
- Check the fit carefully on your horse. A well-fitting rug is crucial for comfort and to prevent rubbing.
Care:
- Clean the rug regularly to maintain its performance. Remove excess dirt and mud with a stiff brush.
- For a more thorough clean, rinse with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
- If machine washing is necessary, use a specific rug wash or mild detergent on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (30°C). Ensure all clips and fastenings are secured.
- Allow the rug to air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry or expose to direct heat, as this can damage the waterproof and breathable properties.
- Re-waterproofing treatments may be applied periodically to maintain the fabric's performance, following the product's instructions.
