Caribu's 480gsm (17oz) Corespun Canvas Unlined Canvas neck combo horse rugs are our premium canvas option.
We are thrilled to finally be able to offer a genuine Corespun canvas at a price that doesn't break the bank. Corespun canvas comes at a higher price, but you reap the benefits of a lighter, stronger better performing rug overall.
Caribu Corespun Canvas Horse Rugs feature:
• 480gsm Canvas (17oz) Corespun Canvas
What are the benefits of Core Spun Canvas? Numerous! A traditional canvas thread comprises of a blend of numerous fibers grouped and spun together to create a single thread, (At a simple level think of braiding your hair!) which is then woven into a canvas. Corespun canvas is made from a much more intensive process. Each thread consists of a strong centre core of polyester, which is then tightly entwined in a 100% Cotton outer layer. This creates a very strong dense fabric that is considerably lighter and stronger, but achieves the same performance as a much heavier traditional canvas otherwise would.
The Image above illustrates the construction of a Corespun thread.
Our canvas is proofed via an immersion treatment. (not wax coated) and generally delivers improved performance compared to the wax coated canvas. We quote our canvas rugs as being Showerproof. In our mind to call a rug waterproof, it has to be able to withstand extended or heavy wet weather and still keep your horses dry. (something our synthetic rugs and combos do very well) Any Canvas slowly absorbs the water over time, getting heavier, until it breaches the underside of the canvas. Water will also enter via stitching seams, over time this reduces as the stitching threads will expand and general grit will tend to seal the stitching along seams, however there is always risk of water entry, especially in initial use. We see many retailers advertising their wax coated rugs as 100% waterproof - which is misleading.
## Prior to using, we suggest you thoroughly wet the canvas with a hose and let the rug dry fully in the sun. This is necessary to allow the fabric to settle and threads to expand, if you fail to do this you may find your rug absorbs excessive water in the initial exposure to rain.
