Barcoo Air-Mesh Neck Combo Horse Rug
More info
The new season Delzani 'Barcoo' Air-Mesh Neck Combo Horse Rug delivers everyday performance in a calm, refined colourway. Designed for the Australian summer, it combines strength, breathability, and comfort in one dependable rug that looks as good as it performs.
The Barcoo Air-Mesh is made from heavy-duty 280GSM flat-weave mesh that feels substantial in hand yet breathes beautifully in the heat. Its interlocked weave lets air circulate freely across the body while still blocking insects and harsh UV. The smooth, soft-touch surface sits gently against the coat, helping prevent friction and coat scuffing - even on horses' rugged day-in, day-out.
Every detail feels considered - from the generous shoulder and gusset drop that allows free movement, to the contoured backline and premium hardware that’s built to last. It’s a rug made for real riders and real horses - reliable, comfortable, and quietly refined.
Simple. Strong. Effortlessly cool - the Barcoo Air-Mesh is everyday performance done right.

Pro Tip - Heavy on Paper, Light on the Horse
The Barcoo Air-Mesh might sound heavy at 280 GSM, but you’ll be surprised how cool it feels in the paddock. Its flat-weave construction keeps air moving freely across the body while staying flat against the coat - reducing heat, dust build-up, and rubbing. The smooth weave glides over fine or short coats, keeping them sleek even through daily wear.
It’s a favourite among riders who want the confidence of a tough rug without losing airflow or comfort on hot summer days.

The Signature Range – Premium Performance. Elevated Design.
The Barcoo Air-Mesh forms part of the Signature Series by Delzani - made for riders who value premium fabrics, stronger fittings, and refined finishing. The shape remains the trusted Delzani fit, but every component is a step up - higher-grade mesh, tougher buckles, and smoother detailing.
From airflow to hardware weight, it’s built for comfort and durability that goes beyond the ordinary.
Delzani Signature rugs aren’t just made to last - they’re made to lead.
Accessories Sold Separately
To allow the most ideal customisation possible for your horse rug, we sell the following accessories separately:
Note on Tail Bags: We sell our tail bags (with Velcro attachment) separately. Pre-sewing Velcro can cause fit issues, as the best placement varies from horse to horse. For the ideal result, fit the rug first, then attach the tail bag accordingly.
For this reason, tail bags are not pre-sewn or attached to our rugs.
Why the Barcoo Air-Mesh?
The Barcoo Air-Mesh reflects everything Delzani stands for - practical design, breathable materials, and Australian-tested reliability. From its balanced airflow to its soft coat-friendly finish, every detail has been considered for horses that live rugged and riders who expect lasting performance.
We believe great rugs don’t just protect - they perform. The Barcoo Air-Mesh combines strength, ventilation, and refined style for comfort that lasts all season long.
Discover why the Barcoo Air-Mesh is Australia’s favourite combination of cool comfort and durability.

Barcoo Air Mesh

Love this Rug
By: Janet on 18 October 2025Was recommended by a friend. Light weight but still so tough and all the buckles are fantastic quality. Bought for a growing 4 yr old thoroughbred. Love the long drop, tail flap and surcingles. Does not rub him and when he has a run, jump or roll it does not loose positioning. Would say a true sizing of a 6ft3, where I find some other brands run small and be a bit tight in the shoulders (and this boy is not built like a WB but is not fine boned either).

Awesome tough rugs
By: Serena Bron on 3 March 2025I bought 2 of these rugs and am so happy with them. . I own dedicated rug rippers where I’m lucky to have a rug last a week. These rugs are still going strong after a month. Quality material and strong buckles and clips. Decent sizing - no mini skirts. Love them. Will buy again

Great product!
By: Michelle on 11 January 2025These rugs are really great quality and the fit is perfect! I always struggle with the neck or chest not fitting quite right but these fit my 2 horses really well. Heavier mesh is also a win for my scratchers and have not seen them sweaty on hot days. Will definitely be all I buy in future!

Barcoo Air Mesh rug
By: Leanne Barnier on 15 November 2024I have all 7 of my horses in the Barcoo Air mesh rugs they are a true to size fit and the hardware is top quality. They breath well and keep my horses cool in our very hot humid area. They also keep the biting bugs off. I highly recommend these rugs.

Best rugs, won’t buy from anywhere else
By: Kris on 21 October 2024I love these rugs. They are very hard wearing compared with other mesh rugs I’ve tried. The one I bought last year is still going strong despite being used all summer on a very itchy horse. Very durable buckles etc. Such great value for money. I basically just buy everything from Delzani now!
