The Tough1 1200 Denier Waterproof Poly Turnout Blanket stands out in the equestrian gear market, providing enhanced comfort and protection for horses in inclement weather. Designed specifically for the equine athlete, this blanket excels in both functionality and durability. With a heavyweight construction made from 1200 Denier Poly, it offers superior resistance to tearing and abrasions, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of outdoor exposure without sacrificing the comfort of the horse.
This turnout blanket is engineered to meet the demands of a wide range of climatic conditions. Its waterproof outer shell features taped seams and a seamless spine, which collectively prevent water infiltration. Furthermore, the 300g Polyfill insulation ensures that your horse stays warm during the cold months, making it ideal for winter use. The blanket’s inner lining is made from 210 Denier Poly, which is breathable and moisture-wicking, allowing sweat to escape while keeping the horse dry. An added bonus is the double buckle front closure, complemented by Velcro straps with rust-resistant nickel hardware, enhancing the fastening reliability.
One of the standout aspects of the Tough1 Turnout Blanket is its customizable fit. The exclusive Snuggit neck design allows for easy adjustments, ensuring that it contours perfectly to the horse's neck without compromising movement. The action shoulder gussets further facilitate freedom of movement, ensuring that the blanket does not rub against sensitive areas, which is especially important for performance horses or those in training. Additionally, the adjustable elastic leg straps keep the blanket securely in place, preventing it from shifting during physical activity.
Usability is a key consideration in the design of the Tough1 blanket. To properly size the blanket, it is recommended to measure the horse from the center of the chest to the point of the rump, ensuring optimal coverage. This can be particularly important for new horse owners who may be unfamiliar with different brands' sizing charts. Moreover, the maintenance of the blanket is simplified; it can be cleaned annually by removing excess dirt and washing it in a commercial washer on a delicate cycle. This ease of maintenance contributes to the blanket's longevity, allowing for years of dependable use.
