Cotton IR3535 Fly Repellent Hybrid Horse Rug | Pink

? Cotton Protection + Insect-Repelling Mesh Hybrid

This Cotton Dura Mesh Hybrid combines a lightweight polyester–cotton ripstop topline with IR3535-treated mesh panels, creating a comfortable and affordable solution for everyday summer use. The cotton-blend topline offers natural breathability and shade from the sun, while the treated mesh sides help reduce irritation from flies, midges and mosquitoes where it matters most.

Designed for warm conditions, this hybrid style allows heat to escape while still providing practical coverage and comfort in the paddock. The cotton topline is not insect-repellent treated, but it delivers excellent airflow and UV shielding, making this rug an ideal option for horses that don’t require full-body repellency.

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to full IR3535 mesh rugs — without sacrificing fit, comfort, or quality — this cotton hybrid is the perfect middle ground.

? Built-In IR3535 Fly-Repellent Protection

• Fabric treated with IR3535, a skin-safe insect repellent trusted worldwide
• 95% mosquito landing reduction & 94% bite protection in lab testing
• 88% repellent retention after 10 washes (AATCC 61 2A)
• Helps deter mozzies, midges, ticks, sandflies and summer biters
• Odourless, colourless & gentle — perfect for sensitive boys

? How IR3535 fly-repellent technology works

? Cool & Breathable Where It Counts

• High-airflow Dura Mesh sides allow warm air to escape easily, helping your horses stay cool and comfortable even on sticky, sun-soaked summer days.
• Ideal for humid or high-temperature regions, the constant airflow supports healthy skin, a fresh coat, and a calmer, more content horse.
• Lightweight yet strong, this breathable design helps reduce the impact of insects, making it a practical summer choice for horses needing comfort without compromise.

? Built To Fit Big Horses

Designed to stay secure during rolling, grazing and everyday paddock play, this rug is built to move with your horse rather than restrict her.

• Large shoulder gussets allow for generous freedom through the shoulder and chest, supporting natural movement without pulling or rubbing.
• A longer side drop, generous tail flap, secure sursingle straps, and longer removable leg straps help keep the rug sitting correctly and comfortably, even on active horses.

? Smarter Safety Features

• Secure double chest buckles — safer than quick clips

• “Be Seen – Be Safe” reflective strips for low-light visibility

• Ideal for early mornings, late feeds and paddocks near driveways  and roads
  
  

? Bonus Tail Bag Included

• Matching Dura Mesh tail bag (RRP $30)

• FREE while stocks last

• Standard mesh (non-treated) for added protection

? Why This Rug Stands Out

This rug gives your big horse everything they needs for Aussie summers — breathable comfort, targeted fly repellency and practical everyday protection, all in one well-balanced, easy-wear design.

With IR3535-treated Dura Mesh panels for fly protection and a lightweight polyester–cotton ripstop topline for airflow and shade, this hybrid offers a more affordable alternative to full-body repellent rugs. Thoughtfully shaped for a comfortable, functional fit, it helps keep them cooler, calmer and comfortable through long, warm summer days — without the cost of a fully treated mesh rug.
