Ripstop Horse Rugs
Ripstop rugs built for strength, durability and the great outdoors
If your horse spends most of their time in the paddock, a tough and reliable ripstop rug is a smart investment. Designed with strength and durability in mind, these horse rugs are made from advanced ripstop fabric, including our signature dual diamond weave, to resist tearing and extend the life of your rug.
These horse rugs are ideal for horses that are hard on their gear, whether they roll often, graze in shared spaces, or simply spends long hours outdoors. You’ll find options in various weights and coverage levels, from lightweight summer designs to insulated rugs for cooler weather.
Designed for rugged performance, without sacrificing comfort
The standout feature of our ripstop horse rugs is the dual diamond weave — a crosshatch pattern that strengthens the fabric and helps prevent small rips from spreading. That means if your horse does manage to catch a rug on a fence or tree, it’s less likely to unravel. Caribu ripstop rugs are available in combo, hooded and detach-a-neck styles to suit your horse’s comfort and fit needs.
What is dual diamond weave?
It’s a crosshatch weave used in some ripstop rugs that adds extra strength and tear resistance without adding weight or stiffness.
Are ripstop rugs waterproof?
Some are depending on the fabric and rug style. Check the product description for details on waterproofing and lining.
Can I use a ripstop rug year-round?
Yes, we offer ripstop rugs in different fills and styles, including lightweight options for summer and insulated versions for winter.
Do I need a ripstop rug if my horse is gentle?
If your horse rarely damages rugs, a standard fabric may be fine. But if you want extra peace of mind or are in a shared paddock, a ripstop rug adds durability.
