Thermatex are a very well established UK company working within the equestrian industry, providing technologically advanced wicking exercise rugs, stable rugs and travel rugs for horses for over 25 years. They are well known for their high quality and after sales services. The technology involved in providing their fantastic wicking products is what makes their items so unique and why they have been used and appreciated worldwide by professional and amateur riders for the last two decades.
The fabric is a woollen type material made up of two knitted layers, holding a middle insulation layer made of polypropylene. It is this three layer system that creates the wicking properties from the inside of the rug allowing it to evaporate into the atmosphere. The materials used to manufacture Thermatex rugs are spun specifically for Thermatex, making these rugs totally unique!
Just some of the qualities these rugs have include;
- Light to handle
- Thermal value compared to its bulk is very high
- The wicking properties of the rug mean water drawn out to the surface of the rug can be shaken off
- All sizes fit into domestic washing machines
- No shrinkage
- Outer surface does not absorb water
- The filling will never drop and will always stay in place
Thermatex also manufacture leg wraps and bandages, head and neck covers to fit their horse rugs, numnahs, travel boots and saddle pads all with the same high quality and performance that is known, loved and sought after across the country. Their Snood Horse rug has advanced high performance quilted wicking fabric and is a very popular item from Thermatex.
