Tip: Due to its cut, the Oslo runs slightly small. We therefore recommend ordering the rug one size larger than usual.

rain combined with wind can lead to severe cooling even at temperatures as low as 15 °C? Wet fur loses a large part of its insulating effect, while wind additionally carries heat away from the body (the so-called wind chill effect). The horse's body must then constantly expend energy to maintain its normal body temperature. This can strain the circulation, cause the muscles to cool down, and increase the risk of tension or infections in sensitive horses. A light, unlined rain/fly sheet protects against wet and wind without retaining additional heat, thereby supporting a stable heat balance even in mild temperatures.

What is the advantage of a waterproof fly rug compared to a classic fly rug?

A waterproof fly rug combines insect protection with rain protection. This keeps your horse protected even during sudden showers, without the need for you to change the rug immediately. This is particularly practical in changeable summer weather and ensures more peace and quiet in the pasture.

What does 1200D ripstop material mean?

1200D ripstop is a particularly robust and durable fabric frequently used for outdoor products such as horse rugs. "1200D" stands for a very high thread thickness (denier), indicating high durability. "Ripstop" describes a weaving technique with reinforced threads in a grid pattern, which prevents small tears from spreading – ideal for use in the pasture and paddock.

Is a 3,000 mm water column sufficient for rain?

Yes, a 3,000 mm water column offers reliable protection against typical rain during the warmer seasons and in changeable weather.

How easy is the material to care for?

Our horse rugs are very easy to care for and can be machine washed at 30 degrees. This makes cleaning simple and fast. However, please note that repeated washing can weaken the waterproofing over time. To maintain water resistance and protection, we recommend treating the rug regularly or using special waterproofing agents.

How is breathability ensured?

Breathability is achieved through the material construction of the waterproof fly rug and the combination of protective and ventilated areas. The goal is a balanced ratio between rain protection and air exchange, so that as little heat or moisture as possible builds up under the waterproof fly rug – which is particularly important in summer weather.

Can moisture or heat build up under the waterproof fly rug?

Thanks to its breathable design and robust mesh material, air exchange is supported, allowing heat and moisture to escape more effectively. This keeps your horse comfortable – even when the weather fluctuates between sun and rain.

Is the neck cover included?

Yes, the detachable neck cover is included. This allows you to flexibly expand the area of protection 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 advantages does the detachable neck cover offer in everyday use?

The neck cover is included and can be attached or detached as needed. This allows you to specifically extend the protection during heavy rain.

Is there a matching mask for this waterproof fly rug?

Yes. As a suitable addition, we recommend, for example, the Ibiza fly mask, which offers optimal protection and can be easily combined with the waterproof fly rug.
