Hi
Does anyone have a Bucas smartex rain rug?
I'm after a new lw turnout for my boy & had thought of getting the Mark Todd combo (had one before, fit nice & lasted quite well with destructahorse!), however, have also seen the Bucas Smartex Rain and I really like the look of it but it's rather pricey
Now I don't mind paying a bit extra if the product is worth it so I thought I'd ask you lovely people what you thought? Is it good value? Is it actually lightweight with it having a fleece lining? Can it be worn for a few days if we have a lot of rain with it having a cooler/wicking type lining?
I also like the idea of the Sun Shower but I hear it's shower proof rather than waterproof? Anyone got this rug?
Another rug I've seen is a John Whitaker rug with a fleece lining which I'm guessing is similar to the smartex? Again, does anyone have this rug?
I already have a MT coolex rug but that's far, far too heavy to wear on anything other than a really cold day.
My other options are really Rambo's or maybe Amigo XL? My boy has big shoulders and is quite broad and I just find the Amigo's a little tight for him (classic cut anyway). Not really that much of a Weatherbeeta fan and don't like Masta/Shires etc at all.
Sorry it ended up being a long one!
Thanks
