1000+ denier outer lightweights-is there such a thing?

[KVH]

As above, preferably no fill but would consider 100g fill.
I would usually use PE but their no fill is only 600d and their 40g is 1000d-would need a higher denier if such a thing exists?
Thanks in advance!

Buy the right size rug in the right quality and take the filling out. Easy enough to do. Axiom (on ebay) also do a 1800 denier rug.

Horseware's Rambo range is 1000d ballistic nylon and they do a no-fill version.

Derby House do one thats 1200D lightweight no fill. I bought one a couple of months ago in their sale. So far it hasn't ripped! They have a sale at the mo so you might get one, they are generous sizing too. Amigo do a 1200D one as well.

Amigo is made by Horseware.

However you are right - you can get 1200d (polyester) Amigo LW turnouts

I try to only buy 1200 denier or above rugs as they are abit more resiliant. I have a Gallop 1200 no fill, a premier equine 70g fill and a Ruggles no fill.

Brilliant, thanks alot ladies!

I agree that high deniers are much better than low deniers but nylon is much tougher than polyester.

I have one of these... http://www.cybercheckout.co.uk/products/chillton-1200d-lightweight-turnout-rug.html

It has lasted well and stayed waterproof. My broad chested horse tends to get shoulder rubs, but this fitted him well and he wore it and stayed dry throughout last winter. This winter I have alternated it with a Shires Tempest (onky 600d but also pretty robust). The Shires got a small tear, but the Chillton is still going strong... BTW this horse discards rugs he doesn't like... the Amigo LW was first shed and trampled into the mud (found with all straps and buckles still done up) and then completely shredded beyond repair, so rugs need to be robust to withstand this level of abuse

I have a Shires Typhoon which is 1200 denier with no fill. This has lasted my rug wrecker for 3 years so far with no tears.

Hope this helps
