Looking for a new fly rug.

Like the Rambo rugs (although not so keen on their price, lol!) but there seems to be several, all very similar, and i'm not sure which one is the best.

How effective are the ones with 'built in' fly repellent?

Any suggestions??
 
We have 2 protectors.. no fly repellant very pleased with them although pony did manage to remove a surcingle this year. They don't get hot in them but they cover well and are tough.

Horse I ride has a sweet itch hoody.. its bloomin heavy!
 
An ex livery of ours had the fly repellent one, it seemed a lot of money for nothing special.

We have sweet itch hoodies, which are cool, sooooo much stronger than normal fly rugs and so long lasting. I would never have another type of fly rug (and I only buy cheap rugs usually!).
 
The rambo protector is great if you have rug destroyers, very very tough & durable! Doesn't overheat them & does its job really really well, they last forever too. In all honesty I'm not sure if the built in repellent is worth it, we bought the ones with it and I think it does wear off fairly quickly as I still find myself spraying with fly repellent on the bad days - does work at first though.
I was a bit concerned that it might rub as the material seems quite coarse but it never rubbed my boy and he had very delicate skin and wore it a lot x
 
I bought a Rambo Vamoose fly rug a couple of months ago. It is tough, well made, has high quality fastenings, and does keep the flies from biting him. I would however say that it doesn't keep them away entirely - he does still get bitten on the areas that the fly rug doesn't cover - chest area between the front legs, and inside the back legs and tummy / sheath area. I put the rug on him, and then I spray with Tri-Tec fly spray the areas that are left exposed. It does the job well.
