Flag Horse Rugs Australia | 100% Cotton Cooling & Breathable Comfort
When Australian summer heat is at its peak, your horse deserves pure comfort. Delzani Flag Horse Rugs are crafted from 100% cotton flag fabric - the lightest and most breathable natural weave available. The open construction allows air to circulate freely, keeping your horse cool and comfortable even on scorching, still days.
Unlike heavier cotton-blend or synthetic rugs, the Delzani Flag range is soft, quick-drying, and gentle on sensitive coats. Designed for freedom of movement and all-day comfort, it’s the go-to rug for horses that overheat easily or live in dry, inland or tropical climates. For riders who want the most airflow possible, Flag delivers natural cooling with everyday practicality.
100% Cotton Flag Horse Rugs | Built for Airflow, Cooling & Freedom
Delzani Flag Horse Rugs are made for the harshest Australian summers - airy, soft, and effortlessly light. The open cotton flag weave allows natural airflow to move freely across your horse’s coat while shielding against UV rays and biting insects. Perfect for horses that sweat easily or struggle in humid heat, these rugs deliver unmatched breathability and cooling comfort.
Why Riders Choose 100% Cotton Flag Rugs
- Natural Airflow: Open-weave cotton maximises ventilation and cooling.
- Soft on the Coat: Gentle, non-abrasive finish ideal for sensitive horses.
- Fast Drying: Lightweight construction dries quickly after rain or sweat.
- UV & Insect Protection: Natural fibre barrier helps prevent sunburn and fly irritation.
Flag vs Ripstop: Which to Choose?
Flag Horse Rugs use 100% cotton for maximum breathability, making them perfect for hot, dry climates and calm horses. Ripstop Horse Rugs blend cotton with polyester for added structure and durability, ideal for rougher paddocks or unpredictable weather. Many riders alternate between the two - Flag for airflow, Ripstop for strength.
