Best really light fly rug

[Christmas Crumpet]

I'm currently using a PE fly rug which is a couple of years old. In this really hot weather, the rug is too much and horse has been very sweaty. He is staying out during the day as his stable has been unbearably hot. What is a really good, very light fly rug for this kind of weather?

Horseware Mio fly rug. It's loose fitting and made of very light material, but my very fussy mare loves wearing it and it's lasting surprisingly well. She previously killed a much more expensive Rambo fly rug that was heavy and stiff in a few hours.

Are they true to size? My 15.1hh ISH who is fairly cobby and has big wide shoulders wears a 6' PE rug. Do I go 6' or 6'3" with the Mio?!

My mare is a 15.2 1/2" sports horse type, not overweight, and the 6' 3" is a nice relaxed fit on her.

I'll go 6'3 then. Thank you!!

Hi bought a good light fly rug from eBay about 3 weeks ago,
It is made by Equidor, only cost me £22 for the full neck rug and fly mask.
I bought a size bigger,my mare is a 5"3 and I got a 5"6,fits her perfectly and is light too.
