Delzani 'Waratah' 600D Rainsheet Waterproof Turnout Horse Rug
More info
The Delzani Waratah Rainsheet – Dependable Wet Weather Protection in the Essentials Range
Built for Australian wet weather, the Delzani Waratah Rainsheet delivers reliable waterproof protection without unnecessary weight or cost. Constructed from a breathable, waterproof 600 Denier hexagon-weave ripstop outer and lined with a soft sports mesh, it keeps your horse dry and comfortable through rain, wind, and shoulder-season weather – without the bulk of a polyfill rug.
Part of our Essentials Range, the Waratah is designed for riders who want genuine wet weather coverage at an honest price. With two D-rings for optional hood attachment, you can add a separate hood when conditions call for extra neck coverage – giving you flexibility without the fixed commitment of a combo neck.

Waratah – When to Use It
| Condition | Suitability |
|---|---|
| Warm rain (above 16°C) | ✔ Ideal |
| Shoulder season – wet & mild | ✔ Ideal |
| Cool rain (12°C – 16°C) | ✔ Suitable (unclipped) |
| Cold wet – layering | ✔ Works over a non-waterproof under rug |
| Cold conditions | Most riders opt for a waterproof winter turnout rug |
The Waratah is a shoulder season rainsheet. On cold wet days it can be layered over a non-waterproof under rug (cotton, summer, fleece) for combined protection – but most riders find a single waterproof polyfill winter turnout simpler. Shop winter turnout rugs →

Common Rider Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between the Waratah Rainsheet and the Waratah Neck Combo?
A: The Rainsheet covers the body only – no integrated neck. It has two D-rings that allow you to attach a separate hood when neck coverage is needed. The Neck Combo has a fixed integrated neck cut from one continuous piece of fabric. The Rainsheet suits riders who want flexibility around neck coverage, or whose horse doesn't need a neck in most conditions.
Q: Can I add a hood to the Waratah Rainsheet?
A: Yes. The two D-rings at the neck are specifically designed for hood attachment. This lets you use the rug with or without neck coverage depending on conditions – a practical advantage over fixed-neck designs on milder days.
Q: What is a rainsheet and when should I use one?
A: A rainsheet is a waterproof rug with no polyfill lining – it protects your horse from rain and wind without adding warmth. The Waratah is ideal for warm to mild wet weather, shoulder seasons (autumn and spring), and any time your horse needs waterproof coverage without the risk of overheating.
Q: Can I use the Waratah in winter?
A: The Waratah is primarily a shoulder season rainsheet. On cold wet days it can be layered over a non-waterproof under rug – cotton, summer, or fleece – where the under rug provides warmth and the Waratah keeps everything dry on top. That said, most riders find it easier to reach for a single waterproof polyfill winter turnout rug that handles both jobs in one. Either approach works – it comes down to how many rugs you want to manage.

600D vs 1200D – what's the difference?
The Waratah uses a 600D outer – lightweight and practical for everyday wet weather use. Understand what denier means for durability and when it makes sense to step up to the Wyndham's 1200D shell.

The Waratah exceeds 3,300mm waterproofing – more than twice the industry minimum. Learn what those numbers actually mean and how to maintain your rug's performance over time.
Read: Understanding Horse Rug Waterproofing →Need warmth as well as waterproofing?
The Waratah is a shoulder season rainsheet. On cold wet days it layers over a non-waterproof under rug for combined protection. But most riders find a single waterproof polyfill winter turnout simpler – one rug, no layering required. Explore the Delzani range from 150g to 300g.
Shop: Winter Turnout Rugs →Why the Waratah?
The Waratah Rainsheet is for riders who want genuine wet weather protection with the option to add neck coverage when conditions call for it. The D-ring hood attachment gives you flexibility that fixed-neck designs don't – use it as a straight body rug on mild days, add a hood when the weather turns, and keep your horse comfortable without over-rugging.
Whether it's a wet autumn morning, a summer downpour, or a shoulder-season day that can't make up its mind, the Waratah handles it without fuss.
The Waratah: honest waterproofing, flexible coverage, Delzani value.
