What sets our 1200 Deniers Turnout horse rugs apart from others?
- The Alpine winter rugs include reflective bindings & seams for added night safety as standard.
- We only use Premium 370gsm weight 1200 Denier fabrics. Be wary of cheaper 1200 Denier rugs using thinner 300gsm fabrics. (more info below)
- We use extra wide fabric for construction - which allows us to deliver generous drops even in the bigger sizes (as an example size 6'0 has a generous 106cm drop up to a7’0 with a 115cm drop.)
- No rugs is ever 100% waterproof, but ours come close. We use a continuous run of fabric in the neck and body of the combo - no joins or seams in the neck line or back seam to let water in! The continuous neckline also helps to reduce mane rubbing.
- Dual European style 'Quick release' chest buckles with extra adjustment options.
- Very Generous 'Full Wrap' tail flaps
- 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 also have have a breathability rating of at least 3000gr/m2/per24hrs. The waterproof rating relates to the fabric. No rug is ever 100% waterproof, as water will enter via seams & joins that can not be heat sealed (ie behind chest buckles, leg straps and tail flap joins). We use a continuous run of fabric in the neck and body of the combo - no joins or seams in the neck line or back seam to let water in! The continuous neckline also helps to reduce mane rubbing.

Which Denier horse rug do I need? 600D or 1200D or 1680D?
Essentially the higher the denier number, the stronger the material. Commonly in 600D, 1200D and 1680D - the higher the number, the thicker and stronger the weave. At Caribu we primarily produce 1200 Denier Horse Rugs. A 1200 Denier horse rug will cost you around 10-15% more than a 600 Denier - but you will get a significantly longer life from it. Their is very little difference in Breathability, Insulation or weight - what you do get is the added strength & life. Likewise a 1680Denier is the pinicale of horse rug fabrics - but comes at a cost premium. We have a helpful guide here
How much filling do I need in my horse rug?
We have a helpful guide to help with your decision Read more here.
Rug Care: Some horses perspiration can be more acidic than others, depending on diet and this can shorten the life of the membrane/Linings so Caribu would recommend using under rugs to extend the life of your turnout rugs. Never wash synthetic deniers in anything but cold water. Water over 40c will damage the waterproof membrane. Learn more

Reviewer: Kerry
This is an awesome rug - Caribu 200g fill is thicker than some of my other brand 250g. Perfect for my horse who runs too hot in a 300g fill. We will get alot of wear out of this one. Wonderful quality and fittings. Another great design by the Caribu team - thankyou. -
Reviewer: Colleen
These rugs have been the best wearing of any rugs we have used and at a very good price. They are well fitted and keep our horses very comfortable in our cold winter climate. -
Reviewer: Nikia
Ordered my rug on Tuesday and received it on Thursday, excellent turn around and the lady I spoke with regarding which rug would best suit my horse was very pleasant to deal with and very helpful. Will definitely be buying my winter rugs from Caribu in future. -

Why does waterproofing in synthetic rugs vary so much? We hear many nightmare stories of synthetic rugs that just don’t perform and leak like a sieve. In many cases they are often leading brands that they have paid big $$ for.
