5/A Baker® Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket 400 Gram: Ultimate Warmth and Protection for Your Horse

As an English-style equestrian, you understand the importance of providing the best possible care for your horse, especially during the harsh winter months. Your horse's wellbeing is your top priority, and the right turnout blanket can make all the difference in keeping them comfortable, warm, and protected from the elements. The 5/A Baker® Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket 400 Gram is designed to provide maximum warmth and durability for horses turned out in the coldest and most demanding conditions.

With a commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, 5/A Baker delivers a turnout blanket that offers the perfect balance of warmth, breathability, and protection. For over a century, 5/A Baker has been known as the gold standard for high-quality horse clothing, and the Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket 400 Gram is no exception.

Superior Warmth for Winter Turnout

When winter arrives, your horse needs reliable protection to stay warm and dry during outdoor turnout. The 5/A Baker® Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket is equipped with 400 grams of Curvofil IV insulation, providing unmatched warmth in cold weather. This heavy insulation ensures that your horse stays cozy even in the harshest winter conditions, making it ideal for horses living in colder climates or those spending extended periods outdoors during the winter months.

While some blankets may restrict movement due to their weight, the 5/A Baker® Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket is designed with the perfect balance of warmth and mobility. The blanket provides full coverage and insulation without causing discomfort or limiting your horse's ability to move freely, ensuring that your horse remains active and comfortable even in cooler temperatures.

Durable, Weather-Resistant Construction

Horses that are regularly turned out face a variety of challenges, from rolling in the mud to running through wind and rain. To meet these demands, the 5/A Baker® Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket is made from 1500 denier polyester ripstop fabric. This tough outer shell is built to withstand the wear and tear that comes with active turnout, protecting your horse from dirt, mud, and the elements while remaining intact even in rough conditions.

The outer fabric is treated with a DuPont Teflon fabric protector, which provides an additional layer of defense against dirt and moisture. This treatment ensures that water and mud won’t penetrate the blanket, keeping your horse clean and dry no matter how playful or active they are during turnout.

One of the standout features of this blanket is its 3,000mm waterproof rating. This ensures that rain and moisture won’t seep through to your horse, keeping them dry even during heavy rain or snow. Additionally, the 3,000mvp breathability rating allows moisture from perspiration to escape, preventing your horse from overheating or becoming uncomfortable under the blanket. This combination of waterproofing and breathability is critical for maintaining your horse’s comfort, especially during unpredictable winter weather.

Comfort-First Design

At 5/A Baker, we believe that your horse’s comfort is just as important as protection. That’s why the Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket is designed with features that prioritize your horse’s wellbeing, ensuring that they remain comfortable no matter how long they are wearing the blanket.

One of the key comfort features is the inclusion of fleece at the withers. This soft, acrylic fleece provides extra cushioning and prevents the blanket from rubbing or causing irritation to your horse’s sensitive withers. Whether your horse wears the blanket for a few hours or all day, this added layer of comfort ensures that they remain irritation-free.

The inside of the blanket is lined with 5/A Baker’s signature black polysatin lining, which is smooth against your horse’s coat. This lining reduces friction and helps keep your horse’s coat polished and sleek. The soft lining is particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive skin or for show horses whose coat condition is a priority.

Secure Fit for Active Horses

The 5/A Baker® Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket is designed to stay securely in place no matter how active your horse is during turnout. The blanket features three 1” nylon front straps with grommets and buckles, allowing you to adjust the fit around your horse’s chest for a snug, custom fit. The reinforced front panel also includes a 2-inch Velcro “stay-put” feature, ensuring that the blanket stays securely fastened, even if your horse is rolling, running, or playing.

To further enhance stability, the blanket is equipped with 2” nylon navy crossed surcingles with elastic and stainless steel hardware. These surcingles help keep the blanket securely in place while allowing your horse to move freely. The detachable and adjustable leg straps provide additional security, preventing the blanket from shifting or slipping during vigorous activity.

For additional coverage, the blanket includes a contoured rump with a tail flap. This feature provides added protection for your horse’s hindquarters, shielding them from wind, rain, and snow while ensuring they remain warm and dry.

Easy Care and Maintenance

Despite its heavy-duty construction, the 5/A Baker® Heavy Weight Turnout Blanket is designed for easy care. The blanket is machine washable, making it simple to clean after exposure to dirt, mud, or sweat. Simply wash the blanket on a cold, gentle cycle with non-chlorine bleach as needed, and drip dry. This easy-care feature ensures that your horse’s turnout gear remains in top condition throughout the winter season.
