Flag Cotton Attached Hood Horse Rug

Designed for the hottest of weather, the Delzani flag is ideal for a lightweight, high-airflow horse rug that offers insect and UV protection. 

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

Delzani Equestrian's Flag Cloth Rug is constructed using 200gsm  PolyCotton Flag Cloth fabric, currently regarded as the best in class. 

The hood and shoulders are lined with a dual layer of flag cloth to help alleviate rub and provide added strength. 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 offering superior anti-rub properties).

Our flag-attached hood 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 PolyCotton - 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.

Attached Hood Size Guide:

We ensure our attached hoods have a generous neck length to allow trouble-free grazing.

We have a detailed hood size guide here, that will provide you with additional measurements, to compare Delzani hoods to your current hood.

^ 6'0 and 6’3 rugs are available with either a Cob or Full-size hood attached. Tip: the majority of Horses in a 6’0 Rug will take a COB-size hood and Horses in a 6’3 Rug will need a full-size hood.   Please note the suggested hood size to rug size above is a guide only. Horses come in all shapes and sizes and there can be variance from one horse to another or differences in sizing between different manufacturers, so please reach out to us if you need assistance and refer to our detailed horse hood size guide here
