Comfort Zone rugs.

I bought my husband one over a year ago and we have used it on the stallion lots of times, and it's performed superbly plus it still looks brand new! now he's riding agin he's taken it off us so CCJ wants a green version (his is ruby-red) but all the sites I've seen say bottle green is the colour, yet I swear I saw a horse wearing one a few weeks ago that was far more of a jade or emerald green?
Stupidly I didn't look for the make at the time, but it had sheepskin at the neck and no visible fasteners on the sides, so i thought it must be a CZ.
If anyone has one can you tell me a more accurate colour match please, plus like us, did you find their sizing a bit odd? We're thinking of getting a L for horses who normally take 6' 3" rugs...

the only green that i've seen is bottle green. They are a funny fit I tend to have extra large as the large is too tight around the shoulders (mine tend to take 6'3 or 6'6 usually)

I have a large giraffe rug, Duke is normally a 6 3 and it fits fine.

Murph has the green one and its a kind of emerald green but to be fair he has had it a few years so not sure what the colour is listed as! Fantastic rug he is a large - 15'2"hh MW Cob with a big chest.

I have a dark blue one, havent used it for ages as i keep using my thermatex. I think it is a large and they both wear 6'6" but i will have a look tomorrow. I also have a matching neck cover for cold days so i really ought to dig it out.

Thanks , I could have sworn the green was more emerald than bottle, but I can't find a decent pic even after searching, the colours are so poor.

Following on my search for the rug, I found a fab identical rug from a site called track-right, the colours aren't brilliant at grey or caramel, but at under £40 a lovely rug and I can't see any difference in the comfort zone..
I also found a comfort zone site which includes the embroidered name for under £60... I love shopping!
