What is "Vari-layer" ?

Well basically it is a layering system of the insulation so that over the top of the back of the horse (where most heat is lost) there is the greatest amount of insulation and then gradually it decreases as you go down the sides of the rug. Top is 450grams, mid is 300grams and bottom is 150grams.

Why use "vari-layer"?

Some of the best ideas are obvious. In a standard rug, 80% of heat loss is concentrated in 40% of the surface area. With this knowledge in mind, Horseware Ireland introduces Vari-Layer into the Horseware rug line. Vari-Layer increases fiber coverage across the horse's back and hips to decrease heat loss. The layering of fiber allows the rug to wrap closely around the horse, trapping heat with less weight in the overall rug. The effect of gravity compression on the rug fill is lessened, and the rug stays fuller longer.
