Bucas Smartex Extra 300g Big Neck Turnout Rug - Blue - Blue | Waterproof Winter Protection
Designed specifically for horses requiring more room across the neck, chest and shoulders, the Bucas Smartex Extra 300g Big Neck Turnout Rug - Blue combines the technical performance of the renowned Smartex range with a more generous Big Neck fit.
Ideal for stallions and broader-built horses, including breeds such as Friesians, Andalusians and Draught horses, the Big Neck design provides additional space through the front of the rug while retaining the secure, comfortable fit associated with Bucas.
With a tough 1680 denier ballistic nylon outer, technical Stay-dry fleece lining and 300g Thermobonded Polyester wadding insulation, the Smartex Extra Big Neck provides heavyweight warmth, durability and dependable winter weather protection.
1680D Ballistic Nylon Outer
Built for demanding turnout conditions, the rug features an exceptionally durable 1680D ballistic nylon outer.
With waterproofing rated at over 5000mm hydrostatic head, it provides excellent protection against rain and wet winter weather.
Breathability of over 3000g/24h/m² allows moisture vapour and excess heat to escape through the fabric, helping maintain a more comfortable environment underneath the rug.
Stay-Dry Technology
A major advantage of the Bucas Smartex range is the technical Stay-dry fleece lining, which means the rug can be placed directly onto a wet horse after exercise or washing.
The Stay-dry lining works to wick moisture away from the coat, helping the horse dry while maintaining a comfortable feel next to the skin.
This makes the Smartex particularly versatile, reducing the need to use a separate cooler before changing the horse into its turnout rug.
A smooth Silk-feel lining across the shoulder area helps reduce friction and rubbing while supporting coat comfort.
Warm 300g Insulation
The 300g Thermobonded Polyester wadding insulation provides substantial warmth for colder weather, making the Smartex Extra Big Neck an excellent choice for winter turnout.
Combined with the Stay-dry fleece lining, it provides heavyweight insulation while retaining the moisture-management benefits of the Smartex system.
Big Neck Fit
The Big Neck design is created for horses requiring more room through the neck and shoulder area than a conventional standard-neck rug provides.
It is particularly well suited to stallions, Friesians, Andalusians, Draught breeds and other horses with broader necks and shoulders, providing a more accommodating fit without compromising weather protection.
Shoulder darts further enhance freedom of movement and help the rug sit comfortably around the horse.
Click 'n Go with Magnetic Snap-Lock
Bucas' patented Click 'n Go front buckle with magnetic Snap-lock provides a secure and convenient front fastening system.
Cross surcingles, elastic leg straps and a deluxe tail cord help keep the rug securely positioned during turnout.
Reflective strips at the front and rear improve visibility, while the protective tail flap provides additional coverage against the elements.
Versatile Bucas Rug System
Attachment points allow a compatible Bucas neck cover to be added when full-neck coverage is required.
The rug also features connection points for compatible Bucas Liners, Quilts and Coolers, allowing the rugging system to be adapted according to the horse and changing weather conditions.
Finished in classic Blue, the Bucas Smartex Extra 300g Big Neck Turnout Rug is an excellent heavyweight winter choice for broader horses requiring additional room without sacrificing warmth, durability or technical performance.
