Protection

The Arktis Regular Neck Midweight Turnout has 200 grams of poly fill inside, 1200 denier ripstop nylon outer fabric and is fully lined in a coat-friendly smooth poly taffeta. 200 grams of fill provide enough extra warmth for most horses on moderately cold days outside or inside a closed barn on winter nights. A 1200 denier outer shell is strong, breathable and waterproof to guard against both the elements and horse play! A longer drop and an extended and gusseted tail flap provide more weather protection. Fleece at the withers gives added protection. Our Arktis Regular Neck Turnout features a shoulder attachment system designed exclusively for our Arktis Neck Covers, sold separately.

Durability

Waterproof and breathable 1200 denier outer, fray-proof high tensile seat belt quality surcingles with stainless steel hardware stay put and the hardware will withstand mud and snow. Buckle holes are all riveted for longevity and a heavy-duty polypropylene binding adds an extra barrier of protection. Our removable tail cord is plastic-coated for easy clean up. A rubber reinforcement at the point of the gusset further strengthens that pressure point. Our 3-year warranty allows you to buy confidently.

Comfort

Our Arktis Midweight Turnout was designed with the knowledge that even horses that wear the same sized blanket have very different bodies. Our shoulders are cut a little wider to accommodate more horses comfortably. A generous shoulder gusset allows freedom of movement, whether at rest or play. The front closure adjusts up to four inches to allow for a customized and comfortable fit. Once it’s adjusted for your horse, simply use the clips to open and close. Fleece at the withers adds some extra padding and removable leg straps with 3-inch elastic inserts provide some give.

Visibility

High visibility top stitch on the binding combined with reflective strips on the tail flap help you see your horse at dusk when the days are shorter. A bit more visibility is provided by the reflective Equinavia horse head logos inside the shoulder gussets.

Blanket Care

Follow these easy steps to safely clean, waterproof and store your blankets for next year.

Step 1: If your blanket is caked with mud or really dirty, gently hose blanket off before washing.

Step 2: If your blanket has a lot of horse hair stuck in lining, you may want to vacuum as much hair as possible out (this is why we prefer smooth nylon lined blankets!)

Step 3: Wash in a FRONT Loader washing machine (do NOT use an agitator style washing machine - the agitator damages the fabric and can permanently ruin the fiber fill insulation).

Use cold water
Use the bulky item cycle if your machine has it
Use the low spin speed cycle
Use a detergent specially made to maintain waterproofing - we use and recommend Rambo Blanket Wash

Step 4: Hang your blankets on a fence to dry (do NOT put in dryer as it will ruin waterproofing and can damage the fabric).

Do NOT Use Agitator Style Washer

Agitators can damage the outer shell of your blanket and compromise the fiber fill distribution. Blanket manufacturers will not honor warranty claims if blanket is washed in an agitator style machine.

Use a Front Loading Machine

If your front loading machine has a bulky cycle, use it. We recommend cold water and a low spin speed.

Hang Blankets on Fence to Dry

Do NOT put your turnout blankets in a dryer. The heat ruins the waterproofing and can damage the outer shell.

Step 5: Once your blankets are clean and dry, now is a good time to see if they are still waterproof. Take a cup of water, and pour over blanket. Water should bead up and roll off, if not, it is time to re-waterproof.

Check for waterproofness and re-waterproof if necessary

Passed Waterproofing Test

We treated this old turnout with Dry Guys Waterproofing.

Step 6 (Optional): Re-waterproof your turnouts. Trust us, do it now, so when it is 35 degrees and pouring next Fall and you need your blanket waterproof, you will be glad you didn't procrastinate! We like Fiebings Water Protector Spray Spray (also comes in a concentrate). Spray your blanket evenly with the Fiebings. Let it dry and do a second coat. One regular bottle does 2 blankets well.

Step 7 (Optional): If your blanket has any nicks or tears, you can repair them easily using Rambo Stormsure and Rambo Rug Repair Kit. You can also replace leg straps and tail cords if they are worn.

Step 8: Store safely for next year. If you have the original blanket bag, you can use it or we also like using the Space Bags. If using a Space Bag, you may want to put the content details on an paper insert (easier to read then writing on bag). Be sure to store in a rodent free area - it would be a big bummer to find a hole chewed in your carefully cleaned and stored blanket!

Trust us, next winter pulling your fresh, clean, waterproof blanket out of its storage bag will be ALMOST as rewarding as buying a new one!
