StormX Original Sweet Itch Zebra Rug

The StormX Original Sweet Itch Zebra Rug offers advanced protection for horses suffering from irritation caused by flies and biting insects, combining smart design with effective coverage.

The distinctive zebra stripe pattern has been scientifically shown to help confuse flying insects, reducing their ability to land on the horse. Alongside this, the rug provides up to 90% UV protection, helping to shield sensitive skin from harmful sun exposure while keeping your horse cool and comfortable.

Made from a breathable polyester fabric, this rug is designed to sit close to the skin to prevent insects from entering underneath. The integrated contour neck design ensures a secure, close fit, while elasticated panel inserts and a generous gusset allow for excellent freedom of movement.

Full-body coverage is achieved through a protective belly shield and a generous tail flap, ensuring maximum defence against flies and irritation. The rug is also designed with attachments for a compatible Sweet Itch fly mask, offering complete head-to-tail protection.
