TEFLON AND REPEL SHELL
The outer fabric of all our turnout rugs feature ‘Repel Shell’ or Teflon coating. This unique layer (shield) allows water droplets to bead and run off the rug, preventing saturation, working perfectly with the waterproof and breathable coating. Teflon also assists with allowing dry soil to brush away more easily without impacting the weight of the fabric.

WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE
WeatherBeeta turnout rugs outer fabric is 100% waterproof.
The fabric of all WeatherBeeta turnout rugs is bonded with a waterproof and breathable membrane that provides a barrier with taped seams to lock the elements out. The membrane stops water droplets penetrating the rug, and allows the horses natural sweat and excess moisture to escape and evaporate quickly, keeping them cool, dry and comfortable.
The breathable fabric allows internal sources of moisture to escape the fabric. Determined by the difference in concentration of water vapour (or humidity) between the surface of the horses body and the air outside the rug, as well as the physical resistance of the rugs fabric layers. The humidity difference is determined by your horses warmth and activity level, which drives sweating and the climate around them.
