Why RipStop blankets?
RipStop Rugs – Durability and Protection in One
Choosing the right RipStop rug is a key step in ensuring the protection and comfort of your horse.
Thanks to the unique RipStop fabric structure and the use of different deniers (DEN), our rugs combine durability, functionality and style .
In this article, you will learn why RipStop rugs are irreplaceable and how to choose the model best suited to your horse's needs.
RipStop – technology that makes a difference
RipStop is a material with a mesh-reinforced structure that prevents the fabric from tearing.
This makes RipStop rugs extremely durable, even if the surface is damaged.
Ripstop technology is a weaving method in which stronger, thicker fibers are placed at regular intervals to create a mesh pattern.
In the event of damage, only a small fragment of the material is torn, preventing further damage.
This technology, originally developed for military purposes, has also found its way into horse blankets – guaranteeing long-lasting durability and resistance .
Benefits of RipStop Material
Increased resistance to abrasion and tearing,
Light but durable – perfect for any season,
Longer lifespan, which means lower operating costs.
Deniers (DEN) – what are they and what do they mean?
Denier (DEN) is an indicator of the thickness of the fibers in a fabric.
A higher DEN means a thicker and more resistant material.
Here's how to choose a blanket based on denier:
600 DEN – light protection, ideal for use in the stable or for horses that are not very aggressive,
1200 DEN – a durable and universal option, recommended for pastures,
1680 DEN – most resistant to harsh weather conditions and intensive use.
