Description
BETA Innovation Gold Award Winner 2021 The Arika Storm-Tek turnout rug range has been developed using a revolutionary two-part patented system. The independent lower skirt delivers a break in the hemline relieving tension and allowing for a greater range of movement. The central panel helps to self-right the rug and provides added protection. The Arika's angled front closure system features a unique design registered buckle to evenly balance and distribute pressure, helping to prevent rubbing on the point of shoulder and across the chest. The main body of the rug is cut from durable Oxford weave, developed in a custom width removing the requirement for a central seam along the back and is wide enough to provide depth without additional side seams. Inner fastenings allow for attachment to any of our rug liners meaning you have complete and easy flexibility to adjust the warmth of your horse with changeable climates. The rug has been crafted with innovative materials developed for durability, breathability and the protection of your horse during turnout.
