Sorry - another rug post!

Over the years, my old gelding has had many rugs, and the only one that fits him and has lasted was a Rambo.
I need to kit him, and my new mare, for the winter, so have been looking at the Horseware range, but find it difficult seeing the exact details from the photos and descriptions on the websites I've found.

I need a lightweight rug, and am hoping they make one with the same neck closure system, with 4 clips going through the one ring. Does this exist?

Can anyone tell me what rug am I looking for please??? Or point me at a website where I can find out?

Thanks guys.
 
Horseware Amigo are excellent lightweight rugs, deep and cut well through the neck.

I still have 3 rambo rugs, the green ones, red binding and cotton lining - best ever, coats are lovely from the cotton lining, shame they stopped making them.

I'm struggling to picture what you mean.

Do you mean that the rambo you have at the moment fastens like this?
 
Thanks guys.
I just had a search through the stockists listed on the website (we don't have a local one) and called a place I used to use where I lived before. Lady there was quite helpful and yes it seems the Rhino Wug is what I'm looking for, the 200g fill one is a little heavier than I'd wanted but will have to do, and I can add a liner if needed to beef it up.
I think they call it the V closure system, instead of having 2 parallel straps on the front, they are set in a V, and all 4 straps/clips join one central ring.
Now I know what I want I can do a bit of internet shopping today!
 
I think a wug is the high neck version. I have a Rhino light weight turnout with v front closure, front leg arches etc
Rambo and Rhino both do lw and they all have the v closure except the Amigo range which has two clips like surcingles fastenings (at least that's what my amigos had!)
Hope Valley Saddlery are often good for Horsware stuff.
 
I have several of the V closure Wugs and standard neck rugs, and none have 4 clips. They have a ring on one side and 2 clips the other, the two clips clip onto the ring.
