Waterproof Rainsheet Horse Rugs | The Delzani Range
Not every horse needs warmth - some just need to stay dry. A rainsheet - sometimes called a rain sheet - has zero polyfill: no-fill, waterproof, breathable construction built to keep rain and wind off a horse that's already carrying enough condition, or living somewhere winters stay mild. A 600D rainsheet suits a hardy horse in coastal Queensland; a 1200D holds up better for a horse hard on gear or sharing a paddock. Every Delzani rainsheet uses the same proven waterproof membrane as our winter range - just without the fill. Need warmth as well as waterproofing? See our Winter Horse Rugs range.
Which Rainsheet Suits Your Horse?
Rainsheets are all 0g fill - the choice comes down to outer fabric strength and how much coverage you need.
| Use Case | Recommended | Delzani Rug |
|---|---|---|
| Standard paddock use, easy on gear | 600D Rainsheet | Waratah 600D |
| Shared paddock, rough on rugs | 1200D Rainsheet | Wyndham 1200D |
| Base layer for extra warmth | Layer under a stable rug | Either rainsheet |
Guide only. If your horse is clipped or in an exposed paddock through genuine cold, a filled winter rug will suit them better.
Why Delzani Rainsheets Perform Differently
Every Delzani rainsheet uses a breathable membrane system - not just a waterproof coating. Rain is blocked from outside while moisture vapour from your horse's body can still escape, so there's no heat buildup or trapped dampness underneath. Read our waterproofing guide.
Denier affects outer fabric strength only - not waterproofing. Both 600D and 1200D rainsheets carry the same waterproof rating; 1200D simply holds up to more wear. See our 600D vs 1200D guide.
FAQs: Rainsheet Horse Rugs in Australia
What's the difference between a rainsheet and a winter rug?
A rainsheet (0g fill) provides waterproof protection only - no warmth. A winter rug adds polyfill insulation to keep your horse warm as well as dry. Choose a rainsheet for mild wet winters, well-conditioned horses, or as a base layer under a stable rug. See our winter rug range if you need warmth too.
Can I use a rainsheet as my only winter cover?
Yes, for horses in mild winters or those with good body condition and access to shelter. For colder conditions or clipped horses, a filled turnout is a better choice.
Can I layer a rainsheet under a stable rug?
Yes - this is a common way to add extra warmth without buying a heavier turnout, and gives you a waterproof outer layer if your horse goes out during the day.
Can you rug a wet horse with a rainsheet?
Yes - a breathable waterproof rainsheet is the right choice for a wet horse, since it keeps rain off while letting body moisture escape. Avoid using a filled winter rug on a soaking wet horse, as it can trap moisture and cause chills.
Should I choose 600D or 1200D for a rainsheet?
Both provide identical waterproofing. Choose 1200D if your horse is hard on rugs, shares a paddock, or lives in a rough environment. Choose 600D for horses easy on gear in standard conditions.
