About the product
The WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Plus Dynamic II DetachANeck 0g Turnout Rug is a great choice for when wet weather rolls in. Engineered with a super strong and durable 1200 denier triple weave outer shell with repel shell coating, this rug is both waterproof and breathable.
Crafted to ensure maximum comfort for your horse throughout wear, this rug is equipped with a memory foam wither relief pad with 100% boa fleece cuff that contours to your horse’s shape and lifts the rug off the wither to reduce rubbing. Traditional side gussets enable freedom to move, while the twin cross surcingles and elasticated and removable leg straps help to keep the rug secure and in place.
What were your first impressions?
The rug is extremely lightweight, but the material feels tough and durable. The padded wither area was an added bonus, especially with an older horse, the added cushioning adds an extra layer of comfort. The detachable neck secures with velcro stripes which are easy and quick to attach.
How was the sizing & fit?
I went for a 6ft6 rug and this rug fits him like a dream (Jim is 16.2hh Part-bred Arab), he is narrow through the chest in comparison to his rump. The wide tail flap was a great surprise and kept his whole bum dry even during adverse weather.
How did you test the product?
Jim has worn this rug in the current autumnal weather without any liners in due to not being clipped and holding a thicker coat in his older age.
What was your favourite feature?
There are many great elements to this rug, with the ability to add liners being a big positive! The liners quickly attach to the rug and are available in different weights, meaning you only need one turnout rug for winter!
Any other comments?
This is a great rug, it would be nice if the neck was a little longer.
