Horseware Rambo Duo Ripstop Plus Turnout Bundle

Start in autumn with the outer rug on its own and add a liner as the weather gets colder. The combination your horse needs depends on the coat, whether your horse is clipped, how much it moves around the field, and on rain and wind. Regularly slide your hand under the rug at the withers and behind the shoulder: if it feels damp or warm, choose a lighter combination.

Always lay a liner flat inside the outer rug, with no creases under the surcingles. Hang a wet rug to dry before putting it away, and store the liners and neck cover you are not using dry in a breathable bag, somewhere cool and out of the sun.

Choose this bundle if your horse lives out for much of the year and you want one set to cover both the shoulder seasons and winter. It suits a clipped sport horse that keeps working through winter and goes out in the paddock just as well as a horse that lives out day and night, whether you ride dressage, show jumping, eventing or for pleasure.

If one extra layer is enough, the Horseware Rambo Duo Plus Turnout with a 100g outer and 300g liner is a simpler set. Prefer a single rug with a fixed fill? Look at the Horseware Rambo 1680D Plus Turnout Vari-Layer in 250g or 450g. The Horseware Amigo 1200D Plus Turnout Bundle works on the same principle, with a 50g outer in 1200D polyester and liners of 100g and 200g.

Put the rug on and fasten the V-Front Closure at the chest first, then the 3 crossed surcingles. Attach the tail cord and, if you use them, the leg straps in the rear loops. Machine wash at 30 °C with the Velcro closed and clips and straps fastened. Line dry only, do not bleach, tumble dry or iron. Horseware recommends professional cleaning.

Which combinations does this bundle give you?
You use the 100g outer rug on its own, with the 100g liner or with the 200g liner. Horseware describes this as a light, medium and heavy rug in one bundle.

Is the neck cover included?
Yes. The detachable neck cover is included. Horseware does not state its fill weight.

What is the benefit of ripstop?
Thicker reinforcement threads are woven in at regular intervals in a grid pattern, so the fabric resists tearing better. Horseware states this fabric is 60% stronger than the standard Rambo fabric.

How do I measure for the right size?
Measure from the centre of the chest, over the point of the shoulder, to the middle of the tail and subtract 10 cm. At Maddelin, Horseware size 145 is listed as 145/195/6.6 and size 155 as 155/205/6.9.

Can I use leg straps?
The rug has rear loops for optional leg straps, plus a wipe-clean tail cord.

How do I wash this turnout rug?
Machine wash at 30 °C after closing the Velcro and fastening all clips and straps. Line dry only, away from direct heat. Do not bleach, tumble dry or iron. Horseware recommends professional cleaning.

What warranty does Horseware give?
2 years as standard. After registration you get a 10-year extended warranty on waterproofing, breathability and hardware.
