Choosing the right RipStop rug is a crucial step in ensuring protection and comfort for your horse. Thanks to the unique RipStop fabric structure and the use of various deniers (DEN), our rugs combine durability, functionality, and style. In this article, you will learn why RipStop rugs are indispensable and how to choose the model best suited to your horse’s needs.

RipStop – The Technology That Makes a Difference

RipStop is a fabric with a reinforced grid structure that prevents tearing. This makes RipStop rugs exceptionally durable, even if the surface is damaged. Ripstop technology is a weaving method in which stronger, thicker fibers are placed at regular intervals, creating a grid pattern. This ensures that, in case of damage, only a small portion of the fabric tears, preventing further damage. This technology, originally developed for military needs, has also found its place in horse blankets, where it ensures long-lasting durability and resilience.

Benefits of RipStop Material:

  • Enhanced resistance to abrasions and tears.
  • Lightweight yet durable – perfect for any season.
  • Longer lifespan, meaning lower maintenance costs.

Deniers (DEN) – What Are They and Why Do They Matter?

Deniers (DEN) are a measure of the thickness of fibers in a fabric. Higher DEN indicates a thicker and more durable material. Here’s how to choose a rug based on the number of deniers:

  • 600 DEN: Lightweight protection, ideal for stable use or for horses with minimal risk of damage.
  • 1200 DEN: Durable and versatile option, recommended for pastures.
  • 1680 DEN: The most resistant to harsh weather conditions and heavy use.
