So who's got one of these ?
Just about to order two but apparently they come up quite large ? Although my horse has outgrown his 6ft supreme by a few inches so still looking at getting a 6ft3 . What are your views ?
 
The optimo comes up large, duo is normal. I've had duos for about 4 years and love them. One person on the yard had an optimo and the neck was huge and it slid back further than I would like.
 
Just looking at the Duo at the moment as well. Does the inner lining attach to the outer somehow or does the outer rug just sit on top of the lining to hold it in place?
 
Rambo Duo for me - fantastic rug. The liners attach at the neck with velcro and at the rear with clips. Very secure and versatile rug. I have a number of liners and it is great as I can just pop them in the washing machine and horse stays lovely and clean.
 
I have both and I do not like them at all. I'd never buy any more of those styles. I love original Rambos and have loads and loads of them, but I've bought all of these other variations that Horseware make and they've never lived up to my expectations I'm afraid so I stick with buying the original Rambos nowadays.
 
Duo and love it too.

It fits my SF very well and the liners are nice. I like the fact that she doesnt have a multitude of straps if I layer up and that I can use the outer on its own. If she's in I can take the outer off, leave the liner on and add a dry stable rug over the top.

I'd buy another if I needed to.
 
I have the Duo. Bought it when it first came out and it's still in excellent condition although I noticed the velcro on the neck cover wasn't as sticky last winter. They are good, well fitting rugs and I would/will buy another but, I have to say, with two horses it does become a bit of a faff changing the liners around each morning. You have to be organised, check the weather and have the correct weight of liner in ready for an early morning turnout. Fine if you are on DIY... not sure how it would work on part or full livery? Would the staff be willing to faff with the liner for you
