Tempest Original 200g Turnout Rug

Tempest Original 200g Turnout Rug

Overview

Keep your horse warm, dry, and comfortable with the Shires Tempest Original 200g Turnout Rug. Designed for medium-weight warmth, this rug protects against cold, wet weather while allowing the skin to breathe. As a result, your horse stays comfortable during turnout in changing conditions.

This rug combines weatherproof performance with everyday practicality. Therefore, you can rely on it throughout autumn and winter. While harsh weather challenges many rugs, this durable design stands up to mud, rain, and wind with ease.

Benefits

Cold, damp conditions can affect comfort and condition. However, this rug provides dependable warmth without overheating. The 200g polyfill insulation traps heat efficiently, so your horse maintains a steady body temperature.

In addition, the waterproof and breathable outer shields against rain while allowing moisture to escape. Therefore, your horse stays dry from both the outside and inside. The tail flap adds extra coverage, while the secure fit prevents shifting in the field.

Key benefits include:

• Medium-weight 200g fill for balanced warmth

• Waterproof and breathable protection

• Durable ripstop fabric resists tears

• Secure, adjustable fit for active horses

• Compatible with WarmaRug liners for added warmth

Because it adapts to layering, you gain flexibility throughout the season.

How It Works / Directions

The ShireTex® 600 denier ripstop outer blocks rain and wind effectively. Meanwhile, taped seams prevent water from seeping through stitching. The breathable membrane releases excess heat when your horse moves.

To fit correctly:

• Place rug evenly over the back

• Fasten adjustable buckle chest straps

• Secure cross surcingles comfortably

• Attach adjustable fillet strap

• Check fit and freedom of movement

When temperatures drop further, add a 100g or 200g liner for extra insulation.

Safety

Always check fit daily to avoid rubbing. In addition, remove and dry the rug if it becomes heavily soiled. The PFC-free ShireTex® outer supports environmentally responsible protection. Therefore, you protect both your horse and the planet.

Regularly inspect straps and stitching to maintain safety and performance.
