Which Summer Sheet is coolest?
Flag/Flag Ice
100% polyester, 165gsm and the coolest rug in the Skye Park range. Light and airy fabric (think a flag flapping in the breeze) Allows maximum airflow. Will protect your horse from harsh summer sun and annoying insects. Should your horse get caught in summer rain, the rug will dry out extremely quickly as soon as the rain stops, so the horse is not standing around in wet clothes. Because of the open weave of the fabric, it rarely creates static.
Available in White Only
(same rug, one sold through the website, one through retail outlets)
Summer Ripstop
65/35 Cotton/Poly Blend 300gsm ripstop fabric, giving excellent breathability and sweat absorption. A great all round summer sheet that can also be used as an under rug during winter.
Blueline has satin in mane area and is available through retail outlets
Summer Skye has Taffeta in mane area and available direct from Skye Park only
Airmax
PVC mesh fabric(same as fly mask material but lighter coloured to reflect the heat) Very cool and suited to areas of very high rainfall due to being PVC, rain will get through onto the horse, but rug will not actually get wet. Not as cool as flag but stronger. Only available a combo.

Tearstop Dehrsuti
The ultimate and Premier range of rugs are a full 12oz Full Corespun Ripstop material, available in different colours.

Not a cool as the Flag.
Supreme
8oz Light coloured showerproof poly cotton canvas. We sell this rug as showerproof but it is actually extremely waterproof it is lighter weight so softens up nicely after a few wears. Its main drawback is the lack of Ripstop in the weave which means that it is not as strong as a standard unlined canvas. This is a fully bound rug which come standard with a reinforced neck, Webbing leg straps with trigger snaps, No wither fleece, No hip dart.
