About the product: The WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Classic 0g Combo Neck Turnout Rug has a tough 600 Denier ripstop outer with repel shell coating that is both waterproof and breathable, offering superb protection against the elements. This rug is lined with 210T polyester for high levels of comfort and has a traditional side gusset to allow for natural movement.
What were your first impressions? “I love the colour and even though it’s a lightweight rug, it feels like it’ll be tough wearing. I did notice there was no velcro on the chest fastenings and wondered if it would pull open.”
How did you find the sizing & fit? “The neck cover fits perfectly, although Snoopy’s neck is on the shorter side. Thanks to the shoulder gussets there is no pulling across his fairly wide chest & it fits him really well.”
How did you test the product? “Snoopy is turned out during the day. The turn in the weather has been the perfect opportunity to test the rugs ability to keep him clean and dry. I was impressed to see the rug stayed put, even after zoomies around the field, it didn’t twist and with the lack of velcro on the chest, it didn’t pull open. There has been persistent light rain and Snoopy has stayed lovely and dry.”
What was your favourite feature? “The leg straps are a fantastic addition. Thanks to these there has been no twisting or flapping over the bum in the wind. Plus, I love the vibrant colour… but we all know once the mud sets in it won’t be quite as enjoyable!”
Any other comments? “This is a brilliant rug that provides great coverage for my awkward-to-fit pony. This rug definitely offers quality at a reasonable price.”
