The Umbrella Overlay

Revolutionising Canvas Covers

Design

The Umbrella overlay can be integrated into all Matamata Saddlery canvas covers. The premium US made synthetic material provides twice the waterproofness of canvas and retains approximately one third of the breathability. Results are phenomenal setting a new standard in canvas covers.

Material Weight

8oz

Umbrella Colours

Standard

Manufacturing

The Umbrella topline is waterproof and the overlay is sewn into the cover through the top line, down each end of the cover and along the mid line creating a secure overlay.

Performance

Customer feedback has been excellent, celebrating the waterproofness, breathability and durability.

8

Design

This is the most effective tool in the market for protecting the mane. The neck cover is made with a radius through the top line that keeps the cover away from the risk areas of the mane. A rod is used to provide support to the shape. The latest Mane Savers are supplied with two interchangeable rods as they will become mis-shapen over time. Foam inserts are used in the two leading edges of the cover for shape and support as this is a significant wrap.

Selecting a lining You are encouraged to think of the canvas cover as a divider between the horse and the outside environment. The linings then have different roles for conditioning the horse’s coat and controlling their body temperature.

Cotton Duck & Jute (Cooler) These liners are used in the changeable seasons and summer months because they are cooler to wear. They also stimulate the horse to shed hair and help create a shiny coat.

Experienced horse people often use satin shoulders to enhance the conditioning process.

Polypropylene (Mid Warmth) This is a practical and durable synthetic material used as a mid warmth liner. Commonly used in the race industry and sport horse market.

Wool Blanket (Mid Warmth) This is the same weight as the polypropylene but natural product. This is a good product; although it is 4mm thick, it will stretch more than polypropylene.

Thermal Wool (Warmer) This product is like felted wool as it is woven back into polyester “mesh”. This construction provides an 8mm thick stable woolen liner with a long life span. This is our most commonly sold thermal liner.

Dunna (Warmest) We designed and manufactured this product to make our warmest lining with an emphasis on retaining breathability. The inside layer is a wick-away fabric used to lift moisture off the skin. The 200grm fill is a 65/35% polyester wool mix covered with a woolen blanket outer.

All this is quilted together to provide a durable and stable material. This is available as an interchangeable liner, a stable rug or made as a regular Ranfurly or Foxbridge cover design.
