LeMieux Arika Storm-Tek Rug 200g Black

This technical, self-righting turnout rug is lightweight and expertly designed to keep your horse dry and protected in the field.

The unique 1200 Denier breathable waterproof outer is uniquely cut across the full width, eliminating leaks with no back seam. Coupled with an antibacterial, anti-static shine-enhancing lining, it stays perfectly balanced on your horse. 200g thermobonded fill wards off cold with warmth that won’t bunch up or slip down.

Security is assured with a design-registered front closure. The top of two sturdy T-bars is 45° angled to relieve pressure across the point of the shoulder, for comfort and freedom of movement. Backed by a sandwich of anti-lint hook and loop tape, you can turn out with total confidence that the rug won’t slip.

Traditional rugs, which wrap around the horse’s body, create tension around the shoulder and hind legs, which is restrictive and can cause rubbing. Our globally patented two-part skirt breaks the tension, allowing free movement while holding warmth and shielding your horse's body from splashes. Crossed surcingles with a removable centre strap firmly secure the rug.

Reflective safety strips ensure your horse is easy to spot in low light. A silicone-covered fillet strap keeps things clean and neat, while an extra-long tail cover protects the top of the tail.

This rug comes complete with a detachable neck and is compatible with the full range of LeMieux rug liners, bibs and necks, giving you full rugging flexibility across the seasons.
