Any reviews on Chonma rugs?

I've seen some well priced 1680d "Chonma" turnouts on eBay and wondered if anybody had any reviews on the fit and quality?

I've not got one but I did have a look and I think that you need to be careful about the size you order. They definitely seem to be sized more generously than horseware rugs going by the chart anyway. I think the wither to tail measurement is quite interesting as a 6ft3 HW rig is 140cm wither to tail and the 5ft9 Chonma is 139cm.

My friend uses them and says they are really good. One of hers trashes rugs and she doesn't mind replacing them every year at £30.

I have one, a full neck medium weight that I bought either last winter or the winter before, as cheap rugs they're alright, it fit quite nicely and didn't leak. Also fit true to size.

Think it tore relatively easily (I can't remember what denier I bought though) but I still have it as a spare.

Thanks for the replies I'm going to chance one in a size smaller than I usually get and hope for the best!

So a little update, I won the auction for £27 English pounds, this is for a 1680d 300g turnout! It arrived this morning so less than 48 hours and for the money it's great! I bought a 5'9 which is what my mare takes in shires rugs, it seems well made enough and fits well, big thumbs up from me!

Thanks for the review, it will be interesting to see how you feel about it after the winter.
