What do you do with yours when they come in soaked through?
Soggy Snuggy Hood!

Leave it on to dry. It doesn't get really sodden though. At night I'd take it off & leave it to dry. They recommend putting it on slightly damp after washing anyway.

I leave mine on my boy, he has a turnout on top at the moment so only the head an neck get wet but he's ok with that!

You must have been reading my thoughts and was pondering this all of yesterday....
Is the Snuggy Hood the very thin lycra one that isnt waterproof? I put mine on my grey to keep her clean but thought that when they got wet (as in constantly wet by rain) they would be very uncomfortable and actually make the horse colder by flattening the hair and retaining moisture? I am guessing I am comparing it to how a wet t-shirt would be on us?? It would be great if others are of the opinion that snuggy hoods are made for wet weather and they can turn out in the rain because then I would have a clean(er!) horse

I have a snuggy turnout hood. They're great. Hold the water off really well. Not tried one of the normal ones out in wet weather though.

You could get some wash in proofer for it?

The Snuggy Hoods folk told me I could add Nikwax proofer to the washing machine as a rinse, to make it water repellent.

Yes that's it! From Millets I think?

Was that to use on the thin lycra version, or to use to improve the turnout version's water repellency?
