INSPIRED BY NATURE. INFORMED BY SCIENCE. MONOCHROMATIC TECHNOLOGY.

Scientific research shows that stripes effectively prevent flies from landing on the horse. The light and airy Tempest Original ZEB-TEK mesh fly rug does a great job of providing the horse with an effective barrier to flies and bugs whilst still allowing air flow. The breathable fabric blocks 80%* UV radiation which helps prevent sunburn and sun bleaching. 

Key Features: 

  • Blocks 80%* of UV *Effectiveness may diminish over time. Test carried out in accordance to BS EN 13758-1:2002+A1:2006
  • Monochromatic technology
  • Ultra-breathable
  • Biting insects deterred from landing
  • Lightweight & airy
  • Blanket set chest fastenings
  • Adjustable belly flap for full coverage
  • Adjustable fillet strap
  • Scientists' findings indicate that stripes prevent horse flies from making a controlled landing when up close. Beneficial effects for the horse were seen with fewer flies landing on a horse wearing a zebra print rug, than a naked horse, or solid coloured rug. T.Caro et al.
