An anti-sweat rug is a cotton mesh rug, rather like a string vest, that is used to prevent chills on sweating horses as they cool down after exercise.

The size of mesh on anti-sweat rugs can vary and those with very fine mesh can also help to prevent irritation from flies.

Anti-sweat rugs are usually only fastened at the front, although a surcingle may be used over the rug to hold it more firmly in place.

A fleece rug can also be used as a sweat rug.
