WeatherBeeta Rugs/Blankets have an outer fabric that is 100% waterproof. The high specification of waterproofing ensures durability over a longer period.

Farbic waterproofing is measured under laboratory conditions by an independent testing agency.

Breathability is the ability of a fabric to allow sweat and excess moisture to pass through it to the outside air.

WeatherBeeta Rugs/Blankets are made up of a "hydrophilic" (water loving) coating on the inside of the fabric that draws excess sweat and moisture to it. Temperature differences between the air inside and outside the Rug/Blanket then force moisture outwards meaning that your horse stays dry and comfortable, rather than clammy and chilled.

WeatherBeeta Rugs/Blankets feature fully taped seams, adding a physical barrier to the seam and guaranteeing that moisture is kept out.

Occasionally, in extreme weather conditions and heavy downpors, the sewn in areas of the Rug/Blanket such as the surcingles, tail flap etc. (which cannot be Seam Taped) may allow a small amount of water penetration through the stitch holes.

This problem is commonly found on all Turnout/Paddock Rugs/Blankets and is not unqiue to WeatherBeeta.

A number of our WeatherBeeta Rugs/Blankets feature Repel Shell.

This coating helps repel dirt and water while maintaining optimum breathable and waterproof qualities of the fabric.

Wick Easy is an innovative lining that wicks away moisture to provide total dry comfort without the chill.  

The more breathable polar fleece lining features a "hydrophillic" (water loving) quality that combines with body temperature to draw away and evaporate excess sweat and moisture through the breathable fabric.

Ripstop describes a method of modifying the warp and weft of a fabric to enable it to contain any rips or tears.

Our fabrics feature hundreds of small squares that give it its distinctive "checkerboard" look.

In the event of a rip, small squares contain the rip and stop it from spreading along the length of the fabric.

A fabric's Denier rating relates to the weight of the yarn in the fabric - the higher then denier, the heavier and tougher the fabric.

Polyfill’s warmth is measured in grams of synthetic insulation per square metre.

The higher the grams, the more fill per metre, the warmer the horse!

WeatherBeeta Rugs/Blankets are available in a variety of fills to suit the season, location (geographic, paddock, stable, indoor, outdoor) and your horse's needs.

Available in lightweight Rug/Sheet without any fill at all for warmer climates and mild Spring and Autumn weather conditions.
