WATERPROOF no fill rugs, not a "light rainsheet" ?

[Shysmum]

Do they exist ? Tried Nikwax on current one, Shy still gets soaked ? Any luck out there ? Allie x

The better Horseware rugs have always been waterproof IME. So 1200d Amigo, Rhino and Rambo.

I have a Shires Tempest 0g that is absolutely waterproof, it's 600D.

 

[Arzada]

We have an Amigo No Fill which is a few years old and still waterproof. I only wash our rugs by hand in plain water and never reproof. All the rugs are several years old and still waterproof.

I have a Shires Tempest 0g that is absolutely waterproof, it's 600D.

I have one of these as well and find them great. I wish they had one with a detachable neck.

 

[Shysmum]

Brilliant, off to Amazon ?

The Typhoon is also great, has surcingle style fastenings on front instead of buckles.

i bought two Swish rugs - no fill - recently, very impressed.

 

[saddlesore]

I have a Rambo supreme no fill. It’s definitely waterproof

I have a Shires Tempest 0g that is absolutely waterproof, it's 600D.

sadly mine wasn’t waterproof

Amigo
Premier Equine

Weatherbeeta no fill (think it’s 1200D) is great

 

[Nicnac]

My Maxima no-fills are waterproof. Cheap and cheerful

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

The best waterproof ones mine have are Whittaker and Weatherbeeta. Anything below 1200D has been a complete waste of time unless it has at least 50g of fill.

Weatherbeeta no fill (think it’s 1200D) is great

Ditto this

 

[Aperchristmas]

Weatherbeeta 1200d always did the trick for me.

I bought a second hand Horsewear Wug for £30 from eBay and it’s brilliant.

Don’t waste your money on a Ruggle one - mine leaked like a sieve.

 

[Kaylum]

A friend bought a panda one no make on it, just bought for the pattern. Waste of money. There are loads of these patterned rugs that are cheapy rubbish and have never been tested on a horse. Same as the brushing boots sparkly or patterned and fall to bits after a few washes.

So have I, mine didn't stay waterproof for very long, and I'm generally a huge fan of Horseware rugs.

I think horses are better off without rugs than no fills.

My Maxima no-fills are waterproof. Cheap and cheerful

Ditto this, we use them too, they are all 1200 denier and we have always found them waterproof and ours live out at night. They also happen to have a sale on at the moment.

The Weatherbeeta no fill butterfly pattern is definitely waterproof. Joe has been completely dry in spite of lots of rain recently. The dark blue is not quite so good.

The horses might be better off but it isn't pleasant trying to get a wet mud monster ready to ride.

 

[Supertrooper]

I never found no fills any good but swish 50g ones are brilliant

They are absolutely lovely rugs anyway

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

I have Premier equine for the horses, their more expensive ones with no problems. For the donkeys I have Bucas, mainly because their shape fits their odd little bodies better but they are also completely waterproof. All kept out 24/7.

 

[Highmileagecob]

Another vote for Weatherbeeta. Paint with Fabsiil tent waterproofer when necessary, give it a good coating that turns the fabric damp, then allow to air dry. Copes with the worst of storms.

 

[HannahB]

I have a saxon no fill that came with the horse - always been v good unless tipping it down days on end

 

[criso]

I have a Weatherbeeta 1200d freestyle which is completely waterproof, not sure how the newer range compares.

Also got a Rhino Wug lite which is good, sadly too big for current horse.

Ones that leaked badly were Pessoa, Gallop and Amigos, all were 600d.
