Description
This technically advanced, deep burgundy rug�s unique multi-layered structure manages moisture and controls muscle temperature for effective cooling. Its clever design makes it perfect for effective moisture wicking without rapid heat loss, great for chillier weather. Its polyester and acrylic blend offers a seamless, contoured cut, fitting the rug close to your horse�s body for optimised cooling without sacrificing comfort. Double adjustable T-bars with LeMieux jacquard fixings close the rug at the chest in style. Adjustable crossed surcingles aid with the close fit, for the most efficient moisture-wicking effect. Its technical, open weave structure makes it unsuitable as an outer stable rug; it�s best used as an under rug or for short, attended periods of cooling only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Arika Clima-Tek different from a standard fleece cooler?
The Arika Clima-Tek uses a multi-layered polyester and acrylic blend with an open-weave structure specifically designed to wick moisture while controlling muscle temperature, helping to prevent rapid heat loss during cooling. A standard fleece cooler typically uses a single-layer fabric without this layered moisture-management approach.
Can the LeMieux Arika Clima-Tek be used as a stable rug overnight?
No. LeMieux specifically states that the open-weave structure makes it unsuitable as an outer stable rug. It is intended for use as an under rug or for short, attended cooling periods only.
How does the Arika Clima-Tek stay in place on the horse?
The rug features double adjustable T-bar front closures with LeMieux jacquard fixings at the chest, plus adjustable crossed surcingles to help maintain a close, contoured fit for efficient moisture wicking.
Is the Arika Clima-Tek suitable for use in colder weather?
Yes, LeMieux describes it as well suited to chillier weather because its multi-layered structure wicks moisture without causing rapid heat loss, helping to keep the horse comfortable during the cooling-down process.
What colour is the LeMieux Arika Clima-Tek Rug available in?
