Caribu Eclipse - Turnout Waterproof Horse Rug.
The Caribu Eclipse Rainsheet horse rug is a 1200 Denier Synthetic waterproof ripstop polyester horse rug. (No Fill). This is the rug version of our popular Eclipse Combos.
This Horse rug incorporates a anti-rub lining in the shoulders, nylon lining in the skirt area with a soft can-can mesh lining across the main body area.. The mesh keeps the denier up off the horses coat and helps with breathability.
This rug is ideal for all seasons and can be used on its own - or as a top layer in the cooler months and layer rugs underneath for added warmth. A great design with quality materials and construction.
What sets this rug apart from others?
We use an advanced 1200 Denier fabric with polymers. The hi-tech manufacturing process insures that the denier fabric works to keep water out - but allows the humid/moist air to escape out through the material keeping your horse - dry but allows sweat and moisture to breath out to eliminate chills. We use a soft can-can mesh lining in our rugs, which significantly increases the breathability of the rug and is superior to other linings on the market.
All Caribu Synthetic Rugs and Combos are rated to a waterproof rating of at least 3000MM - more than twice the minimum requirements. Our Synthetic Rugs have a breath ability rating of at least 3000gr/m2/per24hrs - so you can rest assured that your horse will be snug and warm in the worst of weather. Keep in mind that many advertised waterproof rugs are not breathable. (or meet ratings for waterproofness!!) Read more info on our Waterproof and Breathability ratings
Additionally all our 1200 Denier fabrics incorporate a Ripstop design into the fabric.

Which Denier do I need? 600D or 1200D? At Caribu we only produce 1200Denier Rugs. 1200 Denier uses double the thread weave over a 600D fabric. 1200D offers far superior strength and durability and will far outlast a 600D rug. Their is very little difference in Breathability, insulation or weight - what you do get is the added strength & life..
We recommend using rainsheets in conjunction with a light cotton rug. Colder outside air temperature and warmer air under the rug form the horses body heat will create condensation. This will accumulate on the inside of the rug. A light cotton under rug or similar with a good moisture wicking properties helps to transport moisture away from their skin.
