Why Fly Mesh & PVC Mesh Matter
Heat, UV, and insects are constant summer challenges for Australian riders. A smart rug doesn’t just shield - it breathes. Our advanced fabrics - Barcoo, Warrego, Barcoo Lite, and Outback PVC Combo - are engineered for maximum airflow and protection. From coat-friendly flat weaves to near-indestructible PVC mesh, every Delzani rug is shaped for shoulder freedom, lined in high-rub zones, and finished with UV-stabilised fibres designed to thrive in Australian heat.
- Barcoo Mesh (280 GSM Flat Weave): Smooth, coat-friendly, and balanced for everyday paddock wear.
- Warrego Mesh (200 GSM Raised Weave): Open-weave construction for extra airflow in humid, insect-heavy regions.
- Barcoo Lite (130 GSM Flat Weave): Ultra-light, highly breathable are ideal for extreme summer heat.
- Outback PVC Combo (400 GSM Knitted PVC): Built for “rug wreckers.” Heavy-duty, high-airflow, and UV-blocking (87%). Softens with use for a glove-like fit.
Fit, Function & Freedom
Every Delzani rug features contoured shoulders and rump shaping with generous drops for coverage and movement. Adjustable leg straps, fleece wither pads, and bartack reinforcements provide security and comfort, even for playful horses. Quick-drying, easy-clean, and UV-stable, these rugs redefine summer comfort and long-term durability.
