Rug weights

Random pondering: are two 50g rugs layered going to be the same warmth as a single 100g layer? trying to decide which rug gets washed tonight. He was a bit chilly in a single 50g last night. Opinions welcome thanks

I’d say they might even be slightly warmer being layered.

Two 50g with a layer of air between will be slightly warmer than a 100g.

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking (I was bored whilst hand grazing!) very useful input, thank you for your replies @meleeka and @Equi

I would also say warmer with the layering

No because they are designed not to allow the heat out as the outer layer is suppose to keep heat in, and if you put your hands between the layers you will find that out. All you will do is put weight not warmth. Though are we talking of turnouts or stable???

I have had many livery put two stable rugs on and I find air between is not as warm as putting an under rug and a stable rug.
