They're fab, have the winter buster 450g with detachable neck, I aim to replace ALL my rugs with PE rugs as they are a brilliant fit, super deep and dont move even when my mare rolls like a mad thing
They are excellent rugs, warm, dry and well fitting. The only thing I would say is that if your horse is normally between two rug sizes go for the smaller one as they come up generous.
My Masta HW TO is way heavier than the PE HW turnout... I find ALL rugs are quite heavy when wet, and the PE is no heavier than most. The fantastic fit (go right under the horse) is a God send when my short legged pony whizzes around in the mud... she gets a lot less belly covering of the brown stuff than she did in her other rugs. The neck being elasticated means they stay up and she as snug as a bug in a lovely rug
Love them- on my cobs, they go down to their knees and we call them the mobile field shelters
They dont absorb water when wet so are no heavier than any other brand. Remember the PE heavyweight is 450gm rather than the 350gm most other brands claim is heavyweight.
That weight is related to the physical weight of the material so a 450 gram per metre fabric will weigh 100 grams per metre more than the 350gram. Hope that clarifies the weight issue!
I have a 6'3 450g turn out which fits superbly, is like a duvet and doesn't rub (I hate layering rugs and this one is so warm I don't have to!). The hood is long enough, doesn't slip and fastens very easily being secure in the same time.
We also have a fleece/cooler and it's excellent too.
Really fab rugs.

Hi I am also looking into getting a premier equine turnout....but was just wondering if the elastic hoody bits ever rub the poll/mane area?
Thanks

The hood is quite big and doesn't fit very tightly (at least not on mine). Mine wears lycra hoody anyway which keeps mane clean and tidy and prevents from rubbing mane, withers and shoulders.
Really like them! Don't rub, nice deep cut, like that the top of the neck nearest his head is elasticated so it doesn't tickle his ears and annoy him, they're reasonably cheap esp in the sale. Have had few more arrive today- yay!
They are great rugs. The only down side is if you have a grumpy horse who puts his ears back a lot you can get the "hoodie" look.
Murph is out 24/7 in the snow and is very snug, and bone dry. My only complaint about them is they don't go as small as 5'3", would really like to get one for the pony.
