Sweet Itch / Fly Rugs - whats best???

[Chills]

I would really like to hear what opinions you all have and what rugs you use for keeping the flies off. I am tempted to get a sweet itch style rug for my boy as lots of the normal fly rugs leave soo much undercarriage not covered. Anyone heard of the Pagony Eczema Sheet? Its like a cheap version of the Boett, its only £50 - anyone got one????

boett no comparison.

Any rug that dosnt cover the belly is uselss against sweetitch as it is the soft skin of the belly that the midges bite.

I should say, my horse does not suffer from sweet itch, although last year had some sarcoids removed - the vet advised me to keep the flies off as much as I could - thats why I thought of the sweet itch rugs as they seem to be sooo much more efficient. Thanks for your view

Boett rug is fab, as the material is soft unlike some mesh fly rugs

Cant beat a boet, worth every penny, believe me i had tried them all when i had my welsh D with sweet itch (sold on and included the rug).
