The Best Waterproof Fly Rug UK | Just Equine

Waterproof Fly Rug

If you are looking for the best waterproof fly rug, then you have come to the right place. The perfect combination of a lightweight turnout rug and a fly rug all in one. The Kentucky Horsewear  Waterproof Fly Rug is the ideal hybrid rug to keep your horses protected in the summer showers. The rug also benefits from being lightweight and breathable and as a result will keep away those pesky flies and protect your horse from harmful UV rays.

The back of the waterproof fly rug consists of Kentucky’s waterproof fabric used for their classic range of turnout rugs. The 600D ripstop polyester fabric is very strong and therefore a perfect choice for a horse turned out in the field. The waterproof material is waterproof to a test of 10,000mm water column and as a result will ensure your horse stays nice and dry. The underneath of the rug is lined with a smooth and comfortable ant–bacterial polyester lining.

The sides of the rug use the same fabric used in Kentucky’s mesh fly sheet, and as a result will protect your horse from all kinds of insects. The mesh is obviously extremely breathable and allows for continuous air flow, keeping your horse cool on those hot summer days. Both materials are resistant to Ultra-Violet and will help protect your horse from the harmful rays.

The rug is supplied with a detachable neck and can be taken off or easily attached thanks to the hook and loop Velcro closures. The front fastens with two front closures, whilst there are two surcingle’s finished off with Kentucky’s classic styling and vegan friendly leather patches.

The hook and loop closures to attach the neck to the rug are on the inside of the neck. This avoids the water from seeping into the rug.
