What is meant is waterproof and breathable in turnout rugs?
As we all know the weather in the UK is at the best of times rather unpredictable! One minute its raining heavily, the next its bright sunshine! When developing Swish Turnout Horse Rugs we have only used top quality materials that are 100% waterproof, and also 100% breathable. This is basically the ability of your Rug to protect your horse from whatever the weather may through at it, particularly rain, snow and wind, while at the same time, keeping your horse comfortable by allowing sweat and perspiration to wick away and pass through the Rugs fabric to the outside air. This allows your horse to stay at a comfortable temperature if the weather is constantly changing throughout the day. Waterproof refers to the material used in the production of the rug only, as all rugs contain stitching and fastenings which it is not always possible to tape and make 100% waterproof. We always advise a spare rug be available in case of prolonged extreme weather conditions.
