The ultimate fly protection for the changeable seasons, the Masta Waterproof Combo Sweet Itch Fly Rug with Belly Wrap offers head to tail protection from insects and summer showers. Made from a soft close weave polyester fabric combined with a waterproof upper section that provides added protection on showery days. The light coloured polyester fabric can help as a barrier to keep your horse protected from the sun whilst also preventing dark coats from sun bleaching. The longer design of the integrated neck cover features fleece lined ear holes to give full coverage even when grazing, secured by hook and loop fastenings. The top strap has an elastic insert allowing for added comfort around the face. The wrap around belly provides extra protection to the more sensitive areas of the horse. Hook and loop fastenings join the belly wrap together whilst the surcingle’s pass through the loops to keep the wrap secure and in place. Added anti-rub lining along the neck and over the shoulders helps prevent any unwanted rubbing and is comfortable against the horses skin. Secured in place with front surcingle chest straps and hook and loop fastening, also featuring a fillet string and an extra-large tail flap with tail loop make this rug a must have for the summer months.  
Our most versatile summer rug to take your horse through the changing seasons - Have the best of both, not quite a fly rug and not quite a rain sheet. By using combination fabrics this rug is perfect for days out in the field during unpredictable weather. Great to use in Autumn or Spring when changing weather between seasons, or for horses who can get too hot in a regular lightweight turnout rug as the combination fabrics help against overheating. The very close weave material will act as a barrier to even the smallest of insects and help block out the sun’s rays with a UPF Rating of +50.
When teamed with a Fly Mask and Fly Sprays or Insect Repellents this Fly Rug can provide the ultimate defence from horse flies and biting insects whilst out in the field, especially horses who require maximum protection in the summer season, having sensitive skin or conditions such as sweet itch. 
How to fit 
When fitting the Masta Sweet Itch Fly Rug ensure you meet the hook and loop fastenings together on the belly wrap and pass the surcingle's through the black loops. This allows the belly wrap to comfortably keep in place under the horses belly and keeps the horse protected from flies and insects. Surcingle's need to be fastened straight across and need to be adjusted so you can comfortably fit your hand between the strap and your horse's belly, if they are too tight they may cause discomfort by pulling the rug down too tight.
