Product Overview
The Shires Tempest Original 100g Light/Medium Weight Turnout Rug Combo is a waterproof turnout rug with 100g insulation, an integrated contour neck cover and a ripstop outer, designed for field turnout during cool weather conditions. Sitting between a lightweight no-fill rug and heavier winter weights, it provides practical everyday protection when temperatures begin to drop but substantial insulation is not yet required. The integrated neck design, waterproof construction and breathable fabric make it a useful choice for routine turnout through seasonal weather changes.
Key Features
- 100g polyfill insulation for added warmth during cool nights and changing seasonal conditions.
- Integrated contour neck cover that helps provide additional coverage whilst helping keep the neck and mane cleaner.
- 600 denier ripstop outer fabric for durability during everyday turnout use.
- Waterproof and breathable construction that helps manage wet weather whilst allowing moisture vapour to escape.
- Taped seams that support the rug's waterproof barrier during prolonged turnout.
- WarmaRug compatibility that allows additional liners to be added when extra insulation is required.
Why Riders Choose This
- Offers a practical middle ground between lightweight and heavier turnout rugs.
- Integrated neck removes the need for a separate detachable neck cover.
- Useful during autumn, spring and milder winter weather patterns.
- Suitable for horses spending regular time turned out in changeable conditions.
- Can be adapted with compatible liners if additional warmth is needed later in the season.
Fit & Sizing Guidance
Available in a range of standard rug sizes. Select your horse's usual turnout rug size and adjust the chest straps and surcingles for an appropriate fit.
Care Instructions

Heritage Notes

Design Notes
