On the hunt for a 50g liner (6' or possibly 6'3) does anyone know who makes them? Most seem to start at 100g ?

So far I've got:
Swish Equestrian, but they are preorder for mid-end jan & could really do with it sooner.
Big Horse Shop, but concerned these might be a bit too deep. She is a cob cross, but not overly wide. Does anyone have any experience of these?

Thank you

Shires are great, I use the liners 50g,100g and 200g. So versatile and easy to use between all the horses. The fact you can wash and dry the liners in a domestic washing machine is fabulous too. The horse we took out today just had the waterproof top rug removed and travelled in his 50g liner.

I have sold most of my big heavy rugs now in preference for the liner method of rugging up. I am too old to be throwing the monster wet rugs around anymore !

Not sure about how thick they are but horseware do a fleece liner that may be thinner than the 100g they do.

There was a thread a few weeks ago about the airmax liner they do also which seems to be good for warm horses.

The Horseware fleece is equivalent to a 100g fill according to their spiel, but wicking so can be put on a wet horse makes it quite useful.
My next purchase will be the air max liner, I had a look at one the other day and they look spot on for stopping that clammy feeling under a no fill without adding too much warmth.

I’ve been unable to find 50g liners anywhere. Interested that Swish are starting them.
You could look out for a well used 2nd hand 100 liner, I have one that’s easily the equivalent of a 50g rug now it’s so old!

Thank you for the replies. Like the look of the airmax as she's such a hot horse it could be handy to stop her sweating when the sun decides to make an appearance & I'm at work.

@poiuytrewq Swish do have some 50g liners in stock now, just not the size I need sadly.
