By following these additional tips, you can ensure your horse rug remains clean, 

G stands for gram, the measurement for the weight of filling in the blanket. The higher the weight, the greater the warmth the blanket offers. However, not all fibres used in horse blankets offer the same value. Aloga Equestrian only uses the best of fibres, which are produced and treated according to our strict guidelines, ensuring lasting performance. Poor-quality filling collapses after a short period. Our filling is tested to guarantee it retains its loft and thermal value. 

Denier is a unit used to measure fabric weight, affecting its strength. However, fabric performance for horse blankets depends on various factors. At Aloga Equestrian, we've extensively researched, designed, manufactured, and fabric treatments. We optimise tear strength by considering denier weight alongside yarn selection, treatment, and manufacturing techniques, ensuring strong blankets without unnecessary weight.

The letter 'T' denotes the thread count per square inch of fabric. At Aloga Equestrian, we carefully choose the optimal 'T' value for the linings we use to achieve our liners' resilient, sleek, and non-abrasive finish.
