The Bucas Smartex Rain Rug is a lightweight, high-performance turnout rug designed to keep your horse dry and comfortable in wet, mild conditions. Part of the premium Smartex range, this rug offers outstanding durability and versatility, making it an excellent choice for year-round use when insulation is not needed.

Featuring a tough 1680D ballistic nylon outer, the Smartex Rain Rug is built to withstand daily turnout while offering superior protection against the elements. It is fully waterproof (over 5000 mm hydrostatic head) and breathable (over 3000 g/24h/m²), ensuring your horse stays dry from both rain and internal moisture build-up.

The rug includes Bucas' advanced Stay-dry fleece lining, allowing it to be placed directly onto a wet horse. This innovative lining works by wicking away moisture from the coat and drying your horse quickly, while remaining dry against the skin. It eliminates the need for a separate cooler or frequent rug changes. The lining is also anti-bacterial, supporting healthy skin and helping to prevent irritation.

A silk-feel shoulder lining helps reduce friction and prevent rubbing in sensitive areas. The rug also features Bucas’ Click’n Go front closure with magnetic Snap-lock, shoulder darts for improved freedom of movement, cross surcingles, deluxe leg straps, a tail flap and deluxe tail cord for a secure and comfortable fit. Neck attachment points are included, and the rug is compatible with Bucas liners, quilts and coolers, giving you layering flexibility as temperatures change.
