Kentucky Polar Fleece and Quick-Dry Blanket
Updated: May 2026 · Written by the Rincón del Valle technical team
Choosing between fleece blankets and Kentucky polar drying blankets requires understanding what need you are covering: stable, outdoor, fly sheet or drying. Each type has its moment.
What to consider when choosing Kentucky polar fleece and drying blankets?
Below we review the technical criteria that have the most impact on the final decision. These are the same ones we apply in the store when a customer asks us.
- Weight. No fill (0g) for summer and drying, 100-200g for mid-season, 300-400g for winter. Clipped horses need more fill.
- Waterproofness. For outdoor use, it is measured in millimeters of water column: 1,500 mm minimum, 3,000 mm ideal for rainy areas like Galicia.
- Size. It is measured from the center of the chest to the base of the tail. That measurement in cm is the blanket size (95 to 175 cm for standard horses).
- Closure system. Double cross surcingle for greater stability; tail flap optional but recommended for outdoor use.
