premier equine - winter buster vs buster 450x

[Bowen4Horses]

so... following all the recent praising posts about premier equine... i just went on their website and ordered a rug. in my over excitement, i thought i'd found an amazing bargain. a HW 450g combo rug for £59. bargain! so i ordered it. it is a buster 450x

but, then, on closer reading, i see that everyone is talking about the one that's reduced to £71 - the winter buster 450.

what's the difference? all i can see is the outer material is 1680 or 1200. does that make a big difference? should i cancel my order and reorder the other one?

thankies.

i'm hoping they're identical...

I think it means that the outside is stronger.
May be wrong though

Difference is the outer shell. The winter buster is tougher, but the other will be fine too

the way i understand it, the higher the denier is, the tougher and more waterproof the outside is, though TBH, between 1680 and 1200 i don't think there'll be much difference. xx

phew!

fingers crossed it's ok. raff isn't very rough with his turnout rugs, as we're electric fenced so hopefully the cheaper one will do...

thank you for your answers! xxx

I've ordered the winterbuster simply for the higher denier (I believe that is the only difference) as my lovely but stupid mare has ripped her 1200 denier Fal Pro mediumweight rug, apparently on thin air! So I thought the higher denier might be better for her. But I'm sure if you have a "normal" horse the 1200 denier is more than adequate!

we've got the 450x and it is just the outer that's different and the integral neck (on storm buster), trust me you will love it and so will your ned!
