I've fully clipped out my three TBs today as they are starting to moult and seemed a bit itchy. Just wondering what sort of rugs everyone is using at the moment?

Because of work, it's not always easy to change them so bit difficult when it is very warm during the day but cold in the mornings and overnight. They are TBs but have come out of winter looking very well and seem to be keeping their weight. They are living out 24/7 with ad lib haylage (proper ad lib, large bale). What would be the best rug to go for?
 
It was beautiful today so my clipped boy went out naked but has his stable rug on tonight! It can still be quite chilly at night and so it depends when you go up to how much you can switch it around! For arguments sake if I had to choose one as you can't keep changing, I'd say a medium weight - something with just a little fill. If I could change them twice a day medium overnight and light or nothing during the day depending on the weather!!!
