Ive seen one in the sale I like what do they measure up like do they come up big or small?

Also what are they like at the front?

I have an ish who is wide at the front and a lot of rugs dont fit the only one I can say fits is the weatherbeeta ones.
 
I had a mediumweight turnout last winter. Very good. I remember they were very deep compared to other rugs. I got the same size as I would normally and it was fine. The only thing was that I couldn't attatch the velcro at the front or it was strangle my horse! The buckles were fine though. (I have a 14.1 -14.2 hh Irish pony that takes a 5ft 9 rug)
 
Can't help with front width, my horse is very small, her DH rug is fine on tightest hole, I think they come up normal tbh!!, If a little big

Got a 6ft 9 one for last winter, needless to say it only lasted that winter, not impressed, and horse isnt even a rug wrecker!

I found the sizing ungenerous , he isnt huge, a MW warmblood, but the neck cover wasnt big enough, neither were the front fastenings.

Not a fan unfortunately.
 
I simply love DH rugs - all 5 of my horses are fully kitted out in them, fantastic value for money and lovely and deep

I found the sizes pretty spot on - each of the sizes I have ordered have fitted perfectly!
 
I got one of their lightweight turnouts. It fell apart after a couple of weeks and I wouldn't buy a DH own brand rug again. You can get much better, just as cheap rugs, e.g the Saxon lightweight turnout I got as a replacement was actually a couple of pounds cheaper and is still going strong months later.
