The rain fly sheet “Oslo” is the ideal solution for horses that need protection from rain, wind and insects at the same time during the warm season. Especially in changeable summer weather, wetness combined with wind can quickly become unpleasant, while insects additionally cause stress and restlessness. The “Oslo” therefore combines waterproof protection with high air circulation: the robust 1200D ripstop material ensures durability and resilience, while the robust mesh material provides pleasant ventilation and effective insect protection. Thanks to the removable neck cover, protection can be extended in a targeted way – ideal for pasture, paddock and all days when weather and insect activity change quickly.
 

• 1200D ripstop – extra robust for everyday use: The strong ripstop structure is designed for durability and withstands even intensive use. At the same time, the rain fly sheet remains functional for changeable days: robust against external influences, comfortable to wear and ideal for use as a rain sheet and fly sheet during the summer season.

• 0g filling – lightweight and ideal for warm temperatures: Without additional thermal insulation, the rain fly sheet is perfect for mild to warm weather. It protects against rain and wind – ideal for summer days with sudden rain showers.

• 3,000 mm water column – reliable protection in the rain: With a 3,000 mm water column, your horse is well protected during typical summer rain and changeable weather. The material of the rain fly sheet is designed to keep rain out while remaining practical for use during the warm season.

• Breathable – comfortable even in changeable weather: Especially in summer, good moisture regulation is crucial. The breathable construction of the rain fly sheet helps heat and moisture escape, while your horse remains protected from rain and insects at the same time.

• Robust mesh material – effective protection against flies and insects: The robust mesh provides effective protection against annoying flies and other insects while supporting air circulation. This keeps the climate pleasantly temperature-regulated even in warm conditions – ideal for sensitive horses that become restless quickly when insects are present.

• Belly straps and removable leg straps – for secure fit and easy handling: The straps are individually adjustable and easy to open and close, making handling particularly straightforward. The leg straps are also removable, allowing you to adjust the rain fly sheet flexibly – ideal for your horse’s needs.

• With removable neck cover – versatile for changing conditions: The removable neck cover extends the protection area of the rain fly sheet specifically to the sensitive neck and withers area. Depending on the weather, it can be attached or removed flexibly, making the rain sheet particularly versatile – without additional accessories.
   

Did you know that… rain combined with wind can lead to significant cooling from around 15 °C? Wet coat loses much of its insulating effect, while wind additionally carries warmth away from the body (the so-called wind chill effect). The horse’s body then has to expend energy continuously to maintain normal body temperature. This can strain the circulation, allow the muscles to cool down and, in sensitive horses, increase the risk of tension or infections. A light, unlined rain fly sheet protects against wetness and wind without storing additional heat, supporting a stable thermal balance even in mild temperatures.
 

FAQ about the rain fly sheet “Oslo”:
 

Material

• What is the advantage of a rain fly sheet compared to a classic fly sheet?
  A rain fly sheet combines insect protection with rain protection. This keeps your horse protected even during sudden showers without you having to change blankets immediately. Especially in changeable summer weather, this is particularly practical and provides more peace on the pasture.

• What does 1200D ripstop material mean?
  1200D ripstop is an especially robust and durable fabric that is often used for outdoor products such as horse blankets. “1200D” stands for a very high yarn strength (denier) and therefore high durability. “Ripstop” describes a weave with reinforced threads in a grid structure that prevents small tears from spreading further – ideal for use on pasture and paddock.

• Is a 3,000 mm water column sufficient for rain?
  Yes, a 3,000 mm water column provides reliable protection during typical rain in the warm season and in changeable weather.

• How easy is the material to care for?
  Our horse blankets are very easy to care for and can be machine-washed at 30 degrees. This makes cleaning uncomplicated and quick. However, we would like to point out that repeated washing can cause the waterproofing to become slightly weaker over time. To maintain waterproofing and protection, we recommend reproofing the blanket regularly or using special waterproofing products.

• How is breathability ensured?
  Breathability results from the material construction of the rain fly sheet and the combination of protective and ventilating areas. The goal is a balanced ratio of rain protection and air exchange so that as little heat or moisture as possible builds up under the rain fly sheet – especially important in summer weather.

• Can moisture or heat build up under the rain fly sheet?
  Thanks to the breathable design and the robust mesh material, air exchange is supported so that heat and moisture can escape more easily. This keeps your horse comfortable – even when the weather alternates between sun and rain.

Function

• Is the neck cover included in the scope of delivery?
  Yes, the removable neck cover is included. This allows you to extend the protection area flexibly without having to buy additional accessories.

• Is the neck cover also waterproof and breathable?
  Yes, the neck cover is designed for use in changeable weather and supports protection against rain, wind and insects.

• What are the everyday advantages of the removable neck cover?
  The neck cover is included and can be attached or removed as needed. This allows you to extend protection in a targeted way during heavy rain.

• Is there a matching mask for this rain fly sheet?
