Which rugs are cheaper alternatives to a Thermatex

[Passtheshampoo]

I'm looking for a 6' 3" rug which will do a similar job to a Thermatex. Can anyone recommend a rug that will wick sweat away, ok for travelling and stable? Can't afford a new Thermatex : ( and a bit concerned that all the used onesfor sale seem to have lots of damage.

Got a lovely 2nd hand for £40! Try British dressage or preloved! Otherwise Weatherbeeta been ok.

Premier Equine cooler is lovely!

 

[DosyMare]

Try Collin Cook.

 

[PorkChop]

Mark Todd Coolex rugs are lovely, heavier than a Thermatex though. Also like Comfort Zone rugs, lighter and more showy but wash up well, though bedding stick more to them than the others.

I have a Colin Cook Thermalux and a Weatherbeeta Thermocell. I wouldn't travel mine in the Thermalux as it's too heavy but the Thermocell is perfect.

[Persephone]

I would second this!

If you don't mind them looking a bit moth eaten/ mouse chewed then second hand ones are great - they do just as good a job at keeping them warm while drying. I got mine for £20 - it does look like it's had a good fight with something but does the job perfectly!

 

[purplestar]

The aerborn ones are great ! like thermatex's you can go a size smaller as they stretch a bit

I've been following this thread with interest. I had the Weatherbeeta version for my cob, but I sent it with him when he went on loan. Can't seem to find the ones with an integral neck anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get one I would be very grateful!

Glad you're sorted, I'm still dithering! Those with the Weatherbeeta Thermocell rugs are they true to size or do they come up big?

 

[OakeyT]

I second the coolex rugs

This ^^^ I have two of these as well as a Thermatex and they are just as good. I also have a Masta Hi Wick rug which is very similar to the Thermocell but very slightly thinner.

 

[Passtheshampoo]

Thanks everyone for the replies. Have just bought a new Weatherbeeta Thermocell rug for £45, all sorted !

 

[comet!]

Was it online for £45? I'm trying to find one too
