Find me a WATERPROOF light weight turnout

[Joyous70]

I am in desperate need of a lightweight turnout rug, i have one, but it doesn't seem to be waterproof if we have any more than a shower

Im struggling with rugs at the moment, as my boy has a hunter clip & lives out 24/7 but its far far to warm for him to have a rug with any fill in it, anyone else wish it was colder

Anyone have any recommendations makes, brands etc

My 2yo would get through a rug a week by ripping it with his teeth - now on a cut Price LW Derby House one - and no matter how much he tries hasnt ripped it yet (just managed to undo the buckles) and it is waterproof!!!

Another vote for LW Amigo. Never let me down, neither has the MW turnout.

The Amigo 1200D. Can highly recommend. Make sure it is the 1200D though, as the cheaper 600D isn't much cop in the rain.

I have a JHL one, super rug. I have a Derby House one which seems to be very waterproof too. Never had a problem with either of them leaking in more than just a shower.

Agree - brilliant rug.

Make sure it's 1200D though.

1200d Amigo, or the Rambo lite rugs are great.

Don't get the 600D Amigo - they leak like sieves!

Amigo, never leaked a day in it’s 3 year life, although I’ve no idea what denier it was but I wasn’t expensive, it was one of the red ones.

Gallop, I tuck a chance on a real cheapy light weight turnout at the beginning of this year, turns out it’s a dam good rug, again never leaked, really pleased with it, fitted nicely, all still in tact (buckles/straps etc), cost something stupid …around £25.00 you can’t go wrong for that price!

Agree - brilliant rug.

Another vote here for Amigos, I have a fair few of them in all different weights and the 1200Ds are excellent.

The old 600D rugs were great though, I have an ancient orange one that must be more than 6 years old and does not leak. I think they changed the fabric on the 600D ones a few years ago and the newer 600D ones are rubbish in the rain. Shame really.

You can always spend a bit more and get a rhino, I like the fact that the lightweights are lined, it seems to make them sit better.

I've got two Amigo LWs - think they are probably 600D because they were cheap, but neither has leaked at all and mine are out at nights. However, the pony's one is a little big round the neck and shoulders, so if it is really windy rain does seep in around the neckline. But the fabric itself doesn't leak!
