... any ideas on fit for a narrow, fine TB? And would you recommend the brand? They make a heavyweight Turnout that I am thinking of getting as it is the warmest I can find (400g) and it has 1200 denier outer... Thanks
Oh, and also comment on size (if they come bigger or smaller or just right in normal size)
 
My friend had one for her 16.1hh ISH. It was a nice rug (didn't rub) and he had it in 6'3 but he needed a 6'6 Horseware Rhino, but then I have found that horseware rugs are slightly smaller because they don't have shoulder darts.
 
I have the lightweight turnout and really like the fit, they are nice quality rugs. i would say they come up on the larger side rather than smaller. Mine has 6'3" whereas in other rugs she can be 6'6".
 
Oh, thank you. Saw a good offer online for one and now of course it is gone - kicks herself... must keep looking as I like the sound of it! And the heavyweight really sounds good: tough and warm... :)
 
GFS rugs are pretty good for the price, don't seem to move and quite tough; however the horses I've seen in them are usually chunky cobs (no offense intended) with broad chests and square! bodies, so how they would fit on a finer type not really sure.
 
I have had some for my NH tb type. Took 6ft9, his standard rug size. Really recommend, they are excellent rugs.
