Since Bucas started in 1981, they have merged experience and know-how from different countries and markets. 90% of their production has always been exported and this has resulted in Bucas pioneering the development of the "Intelligent" horse blanket.
In 1982, Bucas produced the first high performance water resistant turnout rug. This was followed by the first fully waterproof and breathable rugs by the end of the eighties. Bucas have also perfected the "Stay-Dry" principle of using wicking linings that transport sweat and moisture away from the horse while the inside of the lining remains dry
THE INTELLIGENT CHOICE: Intelligent implies an ability to cope with certain problems. Bucas develop all of their products with this principle in mind. The following are but a few examples of how they employ such Intelligent concepts.
- In the event of a horse being wet or just sweating, their "Stay-Dry" lining fabrics removes moisture from the horse
- The use of "Anti-Microbial" treatment of lining fabrics protects the lining fabrics against the growth of a range of micro-organisms including Bacteria, Fungi and Mites
- The Comfort Front Pad provides additional comfort and protects from front straps and fasteners
- Using high performance materials on the Power and Smartex ranges ensures that they cover a wider temperature range of use
Bucas Power and Smartex rugs have a 2 year guarantee against nay manufacturing or material faults. This can be extending via the Bucas website to 3 years
