Crafted from lightweight, breathable 840 denier ballistic nylon, the Buster Hardy 400g Turnout Rug is designed to deliver exceptional durability and dependable protection in the field.

Combining thoughtful design with advanced fabric technology, this heavyweight half-neck turnout rug features a seamless construction in front of the shoulder, with carefully designed wither clearance to help minimise pressure and reduce the risk of rubbing. The result is a comfortable, secure fit that supports freedom of movement during turnout.

Our innovative fabric technology combines two specialised membranes with a Teflon-coated outer shell, providing enhanced stain resistance and moisture protection. Positioned just beneath the outer fabric, the breathable and waterproof membrane boasts a 10,000mm waterproof rating and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24h. Millions of precisely sized microscopic pores allow heat and air to escape while effectively preventing water droplets from penetrating the rug.

A second hydrophilic membrane, integrated deeper within the rug’s construction, actively draws moisture away from the horse’s coat and disperses it efficiently, helping to maintain a dry and comfortable environment. This advanced dual-membrane system enhances waterproof performance while protecting the 400g thermo-bonded filling, helping to preserve the rug’s durability and functionality season after season.

Continuously refined to meet the demands of modern turnout, the Buster Hardy features an extra-high, patented elasticated shoulder gusset that promotes greater freedom of movement in the field. Reflective strips positioned at the front and rear of the rug improve visibility in low-light conditions, while strategically placed chest clip closures, surcingle bars and premium stainless steel hardware ensure reliable functionality and long-lasting performance.

The innovative deep-cut design creates a seamless, close-fitting silhouette that wraps securely around the horse, with low-cross surcingles helping to maintain the rug’s position. Carefully engineered to minimise pressure across the spine, this construction prioritises comfort without compromising mobility. The self-righting design helps the rug remain correctly positioned as the horse moves freely in the field, providing added reassurance throughout turnout.

Extended tail flaps incorporate waterproof and padded elements to provide additional protection from the elements while helping to resist wind lift. Inside, the antibacterial and anti-static lining enhances hygiene and comfort, helping to maintain a healthy-looking coat throughout the turnout season.

An iconic design from Premier Equine, the Buster collection represents the brand’s original, trusted approach to performance turnout rugs. Each Buster Hardy includes a clip-on, PVC-coated tail strap with an easy-clean finish, designed to simplify maintenance and help preserve durability over time. Although the self-righting design eliminates the need for leg straps, a pair of adjustable, clip-on leg straps is included for those who prefer additional security.

Your Buster Hardy 400g Turnout Rug is carefully hand-packaged in a complimentary, reusable zip-fastened storage bag, keeping your tack room organised when the rug is not in use and making transportation simple and convenient.
