600D Waterproof Turnout & Stable Blanket

A 600 denier ripstop turnout in four fills.

Waterproof, windproof and breathable, over a 200 denier nylon lining that smooths the coat rather than rubbing it. Denier measures the thickness of the fiber, and ripstop is a grid weave that stops a tear spreading once it starts. At 600 denier this is a light shell, suited to a horse that does not test its clothing.

Choosing the fill. This is the real decision.

0g is a rain sheet: no warmth at all, just a waterproof shell for a wet mild day. 100g is light, for cool weather on a horse carrying its own coat. 200g is a medium weight for genuine cold. 300g is a heavyweight for hard winters or a clipped horse. A horse in too much fill sweats under it, which is worse than being slightly cold.

Fit:

Measure from the center of the chest, along the side, to the point of the buttock. Sizes run 69 to 84 inches in three inch steps.

Colors and trim:

• Royal Blue with Royal Blue trim
• Grey with Grey and Burgundy trim
• Burgundy with Charcoal Grey trim
• Hunter Green with Dark Green and Black trim

What sets this one apart:

A 600 denier ripstop shell in four fills, from a 0g rain sheet to a 300g heavyweight, on one contoured pattern with a fleece wither lining, extended gussets and stainless hardware. A light shell suits a horse turned out alone in a clean paddock.

Why it is here:

Four fills in one blanket line. Buying warmth by the gram rather than by the word on the label is how a blanket ends up matching the climate instead of the marketing.
