Lightweight Waterproof Economical Turnout Rug

[GreyDot]

Looking for recommendations for a 40g/50g turnout rug, at least 1200d which is reasonably priced as it is for a 2 year old who will not fit into it by next spring

Am finding it difficult to find one which is more than 600d. Needs to be waterproof and lightweight. Not a fan of 0 fill due to condensation.

Any recommendations? Size is 6'0"

The swish 50g turnouts are 1200d and really nice quality

Swish rugs are good. The one I have is several years old and still waterproof.

Also I’ve just bought one off EBay which is 1200d and about £75. Its called Defence x.

if you want a Combo,Mud Rugs look very good too

I have been looking for similar.
Gallop do a 1200D Trojan standard and combo in 50g. About £65 I think.
Shires do a 600g in 50g. About £60.
I have ordered a,Mudrugs 1200D 50g combo with belly cover, £85. will report back ....

I have the trojan rug mentioned above, I got it off ebay for around £50 its the 1200d and 50g and has been fab.
Kept mine dry in very heavy rain

Have bought the Gallop Trojan Xtra, 50g, 1200d.
Paid £52.95. Will see how it fares. I also like the fact it has shoulder gussets and easy fastenings. Always handy with a youngster!

I bought a gallop rug, not expecting much for the price, its brilliant!!

We have Gallop rugs, some of which were bought for 2 yr olds and which were replaced as they grew. We have other, more expensive rugs which have been less waterproof.

My amigo lightweight leaked like a sieve, very disappointing

I am not impressed with mine either, it has only been worn for a few weeks and already the two front buckles are bent and the surcingle has come off. This is with a horse who is not particularly harsh in his rugs.

same here, I had one unhappy mare who seems to think she will melt if she gets wet

I am very happy with the Ruggles 50g turnouts, each of the “boys” wore one practically all winter last year and they were always dry and warm in them.

 

[OldNag]

Well, pony is going out in his Mudrugs today. I fitted it yesterday - impressed so far, it looks good quality. Will report back..

I’ve just bought a Trojan gallop extra for £44 1200D mines a lightweight 0fill but the 50g is £49 which they do. On EQUUS the purple one. the blue one is weatherbeeta 50g 1200D and I got that for £43 from Griggs equestrian

Gallop rugs are great value, but this particular pattern is not waterproof at all, so steer clear. Sorry if this is anyone's listing.

I bought a Maxima equestrian rug in September. He ripped it in half three days later.

I have shires tempest 50g turnouts a few years old and totally waterproof and they take liners I really like them, they are not expensive either and some weights have the detachable neck set option.

Another vote for Swish rugs! really reasonable and very waterproof

 

[HollyWoozle]

We recently bought a Ruggles 50g turnout, 1200D, and it seems great. We haven't tested it yet though, only tried it on, but it's really adjustable. The 'horse sizes' are £69 so not super duper cheap but good value in the grand scheme of rugs! https://www.ruggles-horse-rugs.co.u...0g-lightweight-1200d-v2-standard-turnout-rug/

If you want really cheap buy Gallop. Mine was out in a long downpour at the weekend and he stayed dry. The combo has a neck that's actually long enough to cover the neck!
