To prevent the felt from absorbing the animal’s perspiration, we advise you to first place a light blanket of cotton, linen, wool or jute on the animal.

NB: the Couveton is very pleasant for taking a nap!

Trapezoidal shape

The Couveton is cut in the shape of a trapezoid to respect the morphology of the animal.

It is therefore wider at the back than at the front, so the lower edge remains parallel to the ground when the Couveton is placed on the animal.

It’s aesthetically much prettier.

Half-moon

A half-moon reveals the withers so that the carpet does not crease.

The Couveton is made up of two thick cotton canvases, therefore breathable, the upper canvas being larger than the lower canvas so that the felt slips easily inside without generating creases.

This particularity of the construction also makes it possible to leave a garrote in the canvas to facilitate ventilation and the natural evacuation of perspiration.

Felt

There is a single thickness of 20 mm felt over the entire surface of the Couveton, and a double thickness on the top, where the pads of the packsaddle rest.

This extra thickness is 10 mm for Couvetons of size S and 20 mm for Couvetons of sizes M and L.

Removable and washable

The rear part of the Couveton closes with a Velcro fastener.

When you return from hiking with your animal, simply open the Couveton, remove the felt and put the carpet in the washing machine.

The Couveton is the only carpet for packsaddle removable and washable.

The Couveton exists in 5 sizes : XXS, XS, S, M and L.

This size of carpet is reserved for mules and portage horses.

Anti rollover tip

Some animals (perhaps 1 in 20) have what is known as a “camel step”. In other words, they wriggle their pelvis with each step. The result is that the carpet shifts one step to the right, one step to the left and ends up sliding backwards.

Here’s the trick to combat this phenomenon: sew a sort of sock to the front of the carpet, where the first pad of the packsaddle will lock in place. In the photo, the seam has been machine stitched using a piece of leather. But it could be a simple piece of thick canvas sewn by hand. Half an hour and you’re in the clear…
