LeMieux Fly Rug Arika Camo Shower-Tek Jungle – The ultimate hybrid rug with camouflage function

Fly protection rug & rain sheet for horses in one system

Rapidly changing weather in spring and summer poses major challenges for riders and horse owners when it comes to optimal rug management, as well as mechanical protection against biting insects.

The Arika Camo Shower-Tek fly rug with detachable neck cover in Jungle color was specially developed by LeMieux for the challenges of changeable weather. The Jungle color is a beautiful, strong blue-green tone that is reminiscent of mighty plant tendrils and the dense canopy of the jungle. The Arika Shower-Tek rug is not just a fly rug, but a so-called hybrid rug, which is designed as a waterproof rain sheet in the upper blue-green back area and along the mane crest of the neck cover, and is fitted on the sides with the light grey micromesh material, which keeps insects and horseflies away from the horse's body while being breathable.

85% UV protection and waterproof ripstop back

The upper back area of the Arika Shower-Tek fly rug, designed as a rain sheet, is equipped with a durable, waterproof 600-denier diamond ripstop which also offers 85% UV protection against rain scald and sun bleaching.

Arika Camo Shower-Tek: The fly rug with water-reactive camouflage function

What's special about the darker blue-green back area of the Arika Camo Shower-Tek is that the material reacts to water, and a camouflage print appears when it rains. This way, you can immediately see if the rug is still wet, and you'll never again unknowingly put a wet hybrid rug in the cupboard. Camouflage style with function!

Why the Arika Camo Shower-Tek is the best choice for changeable summer weather

Thus, the Arika Camo Shower-Tek as a hybrid rug covers three functions at once – protection against rain, UV protection, and fly protection! For this reason, the LeMieux Arika Camo Shower-Tek rug is a true all-rounder for the grazing season and facilitates responsible horse keeping and thoughtful, simple rug management.

For maximum freedom of movement: The patented LeMieux hem design

The LeMieux Arika Camo Shower-Tek fly rug loosely drapes around the horse's body and is generally cut longer in height. This is due to LeMieux's two-part, patented rug hem design. This two-part hem was developed through extensive research. It reduces material tension in the chest area and allows the pony or horse natural and far-reaching movements with the Arika Camo Shower-Tek fly rug. Fluttering shoulder pleats, which horses can get caught on, are eliminated by this patented design, which allows for plenty of freedom of movement without disturbing or restricting.

Optimal insect protection: Belly flap, T-fasteners & detachable neck cover

The extended material on the belly, the so-called belly flap or belly guard, maximizes coverage on the sensitive belly seam of horses. Three flexible, adjustable belly straps hold the belly flap in position. The middle belly strap is detachable.

Innovative 45° chest fastening for maximum comfort

The innovative chest fastening with a so-called T-fastener with T-bar of the Arika Camo Shower-Tek fly rug is angled at 45°. This prevents unnecessary friction and evenly distributes the resulting pressure on the chest and shoulders. Designed for maximum freedom of movement and the greatest possible horse-friendly comfort. An antibacterial, antistatic lining ensures a great rug fit and prevents friction and hair breakage.

An extra-long tail flap covers the horse's dock and provides an optimal barrier against insects. The tail cord is PVC-coated for easy cleaning.

Flexible rug management thanks to detachable neck cover

The detachable neck cover allows for optimal rug management and horse-friendly flexibility depending on the situation. The neck cover is easy to attach and detach. With a contoured, waterproof mane insert on the top, the detachable neck cover, just like the rug itself, offers reliable protection. Three strong hook-and-loop fasteners ensure a good hold. Nevertheless, the material loosely caresses the horse's neck.
