Frequently Asked Questions
What denier is the Rhinegold Dottie Torrent Outdoor Rug?
The outer shell is 600 denier ripstop, making it a lightweight turnout rug with no polyfill.
Is the Dottie Torrent Rug waterproof and breathable?
Yes. The outer material is certified waterproof and breathable, and the rug also features a breathable lining, taped seams, ripstop construction, and waxed stitching. However, as the brand notes, it is a lightweight rug, so in very heavy rain or strong winds some water may penetrate around the neck or back end.
Does the Dottie Torrent have any filling or insulation?
No - this rug has no polyfill. It is designed as a lightweight, unlined turnout layer rather than a warm winter rug.
What fastenings and fittings does the Dottie Torrent include?
It comes with Quick-Clip chest straps, a front shoulder gusset, cross-over surcingles, leg straps, strengthened surcingle guides, a tailguard, and no back seam.
Can the Dottie Torrent be used over a heavier winter rug?
Yes. Rhinegold specifically suggest using this lightweight Torrent rug over a heavier winter rug in the field during very wet weather. This adds insulation and helps protect the heavier rug from mud and prolonged drying time.
Are there any realistic limitations I should know about for a lightweight turnout rug like this?
Rhinegold advise that while the material is certified waterproof, strong winds can gust up and under the rug due to its lightweight nature, and heavy rain running down the horse's neck may penetrate slightly under the rug if left out in very wet conditions for extended periods. These are expected characteristics of a lightweight turnout rug.
