I'm looking to get a new rambo rug. I currently have the duo so I have all the liners.

I am undecided between getting another Duo, a Supreme (no fill) or the Optimo.

Any suggestions?
 
I've had a Duo and a two friends have Optimos. The latter are awful, never seem to stay put, and the necks are too thin and too small. This applies to the Duo as well. However they are hardwearing and the main rugs are warm - my old Duo is 7 years old and still going, and still waterproof. I also have the PE Trio and the necks are much nicer - thick and they are long enough, and stay put. You could use a Rambo liner with a Trio outer.
 
I bought a Rambo supreme last week and am really pleased with it. He's a TB and it fits him really well. Maybe not the best recommendation as he's only worn it a week but you can feel the quality. It came with a free Rambo air max cooler so I felt like I was getting a good deal.
 
I have 2 supremes, one mw that I bought new and one with no fill that I bought 2nd hand. I'm completely satisfied with them both. Neither have the loops for liners as i got them before they were fitted as standard but they work fine anyway. Such a relief to know my horse is always warm and dry :D
 
I have the Duo - bought it years ago - when they first came onto the market and it's still totally waterproof and going strong. Only problem with buying another would be you have all the liners already and I don't think you can just buy Duo outers?? I stand to be corrected here though :)

With that in mind, I would probably go for the Supreme no fill and utilise the liners you already have.
 
Wiglet - no you can't just buy the Duo outer I'd have to get the whole thing again which seems a bit pointless as I almost never use the 300g liner.

I like the fact that the duo rug is 100g on its own whereas the supreme would nearly always have to have a liner in. Or do I get the new rambo original which is 100g (so basically a duo outer!) and use the liners with that

Ahh... didn't realise the rambo original came as a 100g rug :)
In which case, I would buy that along with a hood (if you use hoods?) then just utilise your existing liners :)
 
Getting the new original was my original plan however (I use hoods) the 100g rug comes with a 0g hood, you can get a 150g hood but (and heres the important bit) it's a different colour to the 100g rug :-0

Hence my dilemma!!
 
Get the Rambo Duo - the new updated ones are really nice with a few extras. You could also sell the 300g liner on Ebay or keep the new one and sell your old liner....always a demand for them it would seem!
 
I have the optimo - fits my mare really well.

I have the supreme with the fixed neck as well which is for sale as mine never needs one that heavy!
