Caribu Blaze Unlined Canvas Combo Horse Rug 20oz

The Caribu 570gsm (20oz) unlined Canvas Neck Combo horse rugs are both breathable and durable.

Produced from 100% 20oz cotton canvas, cotton canvas offers unmatched breathability and comfort for your horse. (Many manufacturers have switched to polyester canvas to save money)20oz weighted fabric for many is an ideal balance between providing a rug that is very strong, offers good weather proofing and is not overly heavy.

Our Canvas horse rugs feature gussets at the shoulders for freedom of movement, double chest fittings for extra security, rump darts and adjustable/removable leg straps. Our combos also come with anti rub lining in the shoulders, mane and tail areas.

You will also notice that we use a longer drop compared to our competitors. Our Canvas rugs feature the same drop that we use on our synthetic turnouts, to insure that any under rugs are protected from the weather.

Our canvas is proofed via an immersion treatment. (not wax coated) and generally delivers improved performance compared to the wax coated canvas. We quote our canvas rugs as being Showerproof. In our mind to call a rug waterproof, it has to be able to withstand extended or heavy wet weather and still keep your horses dry. (something our synthetic rugs and combos do very well) Any Canvas slowly absorbs the water over time, getting heavier, until it breaches the underside of the canvas. Water will also enter via stitching seams, over time this reduces as the stitching threads will expand and general grit will tend to seal the stitching along seams, however there is always risk of water entry, especially in initial use. We see many retailers advertising their wax coated rugs as 100% waterproof - which is misleading.

## Prior to using, we suggest you thoroughly wet the canvas with a hose and let the rug dry fully in the sun. This is necessary to allow the fabric to settle and threads to expand, if you fail to do this you may find your rug absorbs excessive water in the initial exposure to rain.
