Rug weight dilemma (no label)

[Bramblyhedge]

Hi,
I bought a cheap turnout rug that was supposed to be 100g, but I suspect that is is more than that as feels quite thick. Is there an easy way to tell what weight it is if there is no label?
Thanks in advance

I use the hanging scales from the £shop, the ones for weighing suitcases. Put the rug in a haynet and it hang it on the scales. Think they may also be known as tension scales ?‍

That won’t tell you the weight of the fill though, just the weight of the rug.

Any idea of the make at all?

A 5' rug will weigh much less than a 6'9"

What make is it?

It was in a Knight Rider bag, but there are no labels other than the size and washing instructions

Did u buy it second hand? Does the previous owner know what brand it is. I don't think there is any way of knowing what weight the filling is unless you posted a picture and someone might recognise the brand and identify it that way.

Compare it with others on the yard. I can generally tell from feeling rugs.

I wish all rug makers would mark their rugs with weights next to the size. i have two Ruggles rugs, one is a 50g and one is a 100g and they’re similar colours. I‘m forever getting them muddled, especially at the start of winter - I need to get a thick black marker pen out. I like the way PE necks have the weight embroidered on them.

I was just thinking this yesterday. Would make things easier when your sorting rugs out

I mark mine with size and weight once I've checked they fit ok. On tail flap and at front.
Saves a lot of head scratching with a couple of identical but 100g difference rugs in particular.

If you have the brand, have a search online and see what comes up that looks similar.

My Premier Equine 100g is sooo much heavier than my Eileen Douglas 100g. If he is cold In the 'lighter' one I will swap to the Premier equine one ?‍
