Requiste rugs???

[S_N]

What do people think of these? I was in Robinsons yesterday and saw the following rug and I was quite impressed with it tbh. http://www.robinsons-uk.com/products/pro...mp;x=47&y=8 Any experiences of them? thanks

My friend has one and it seems to be lasting fine.

Why so cheap? How can they make them and sell them for a profit at that price?

 

[S_N]

Well I thought that too Tia, but I have to say I was quite impressed with the workmanship and quality of materials used. Just was unsure as to waterprooficity (new word

)

The ones ive had have been great!

most seem to fit my lad really well

his stable one is only supposed to be 200g but it keeps him really toasty.

Though did have to sell one onto my friend as it rubbed all the hair on his shoulders off... but then again hes so narrow most makes do!

edited in response to above poster that my 300g TO was very waterproof even in the terrential rain and being turned out for 11hrs a day. It even had reflective binding all the way round so i could see him in the dark

....perhaps we are just being ripped off with the other expensive companies!

OK, so 2 favourable reviews so far. What about sizing? B is a 6ft3ins in Weatherbeeta's and 6ft6ins in everything else?? thanks

I bought a lovely turnout rug for a bargain price but it's too small for ponio (it's a 5ft 9), I really liked it though, bit gutted that it doesn't fit as it looks really lovely but it'll have to go on ebay (btw, if anyone is interested in it please PM me!!)

'waterprooficity' has been fine, no leaks so far!!! I would go for 6'6" as they don't come up as big as some makes.

Id go for his normal size so 6'6"
They are pretty standard sizing so dont come up that big... but arent short either

I found them to be on the small size and hence didn't buy one again

had one last winter, leaked in water and didnt fit that brilliantly, however the under rugs they do and stable rugs not too bad

i bought a purple medium weight for my horse who wears 6ft and it fits lovely, never leaked, kept him warm and never rubbed him and it only cost £45!! i want the really sexy rambo one for this winter but i think if he ripped it i would cry!!! so he'll probably have the same 1 this year.

I bought one, and love it, so cheap but has lasted a winter with my youngster and she does her best to destroy anything - so durable as well as waterproof - well worth the money!!

I was going to buy that rug for my boy Sportznight, only didnt because I found 2 lightweights I forgot i have, but I think it looks like a really good rug for the price!

 

[kimky]
