Flag Cotton Neck Combo Horse Rug

Designed for the hottest of weather, the Delzani flag cloth horse rug is the ideal summer horse rug. The ultra-cool cloth fabric is lightweight with high airflow providing a protective barrier from insects and UV protection. 

We use a 200gsm Flag fabric - that is the lightest, coolest fabric we offer in our horse rugs.

One of the primary functions of the Flag Cloth Rug is to shield your horse from flies, midges, and other insects that can lead to health issues like Queensland itch. This rug creates a protective barrier, keeping these pests at bay and ensuring your horse remains healthy and comfortable. In the boiling summer heat, it's crucial for optimal health to keep your horse cool and comfortable. The Flag Cloth Rug's design allows for the free flow of air, preventing overheating. Additionally, it provides shade, protecting your horse from direct sunlight during sweltering days, ensuring they stay comfortable and safe.  

Delzani Equestrian's Flag Cloth Rug is constructed using 200 GSM Cotton Flag Cloth fabric, currently regarded as the best in class. Unlike other flag combos, this rug's fabric retains its integrity, with woven threads staying firmly in place, even in demanding conditions.

The mane and shoulders are lined with a dual layer of flag cloth. There are several advantages of dual flag lining (instead of our standard satin lining). In particular; improved breathability (reduction in sweating and improved moisture absorption), improved durability (satin does not stitch well to flag cloth, satin also can tend to snag and tear more easily), exceptionally soft (100% cotton offers superior anti-rub properties).

Our flag neck combos feature a generous drop, especially in the bigger sizes (where other brands fall short), and lots of design features to provide unbeatable value.

The flag fabric is unbeatable when it comes to a cool and lightweight horse rug option. It's an open-weave Cotton - in many ways similar to cheesecloth. It allows airflow to pass through the fabric and keeps out most insects while offering good sun protection. But it comes at a price as flag fabric is very easily destroyed on a horse that's itchy, has the wrong temperament, or gets caught on a fence, etc.  So don't expect a long life from a flag rug. Ripstop or Mesh can be a better option for horses who are tough on rugs.
