Which LeMieux turnout rug should I choose?

LeMieux turnouts here come in two families. The Kudos Turnout Rug range is the flagship line, available in 50g (£189.95), 100g (£199.95), 200g (£215.95) and 350g (£225.95) fills, plus Kudos Thermo Layer versions in 100g (£219.95) and 300g (£229.95). The Arika Storm-Tek range sits at a lower price point, with the 100g at £149.95 and the 350g heavyweight at £169.95 — both waterproof turnouts with the fill weight in the name so you can match it to the forecast.

What do the fill weights mean?

The number is the grams of insulating fill: 0–50g is a light sheet for mild wet days, 100g suits autumn and spring, 200g is the everyday winter mid-weight most UK horses live in, and 300–350g is for hard frosts, clipped horses or those that feel the cold. Many owners run a lighter and a heavier rug and swap as the weather turns.

What about summer — fly, sweet itch and cooler rugs?

For fly season the Arika Armour-Tek Fly Rug (£89.95) is the go-to mesh option, in stock from 5ft 6 to 6ft 9. If your field gets summer showers, the Kudos Shower Pro Waterproof Fly Rug (£124.95) adds a waterproof layer over the mesh and is currently in stock in every size from 5ft 6 to 7ft 0. Midge-sensitive horses are better served by the Kudos Sweet Itch Rug (£114.95) with its fuller coverage. After work or a bath, the Carbon Cooler Rug (£64.95), Kudos Fleece Cooler Rug (£99.95) and Kudos Mesh Sports Cooler Rug (£99.95) wick moisture away while your horse dries off.

Travelling, the walker and recovery — what else is in the range?

The Kudos 3D Mesh Travel Rug (£89.95) keeps air moving in the lorry, and the LeMieux Walker Rug (£69.95, sizes Small to X-Large) is cut shorter so it stays put on the horse walker. There is also the Kudos Field Rug (£114.95) for turnout cover, the Arika Clima-Tek Rug (£89.95) as a versatile stable and travel layer, and the Conductive Magno Rug (£299.95), a magnetic therapy rug some owners use as part of their horse's routine before or after work — if your horse has an injury or ongoing condition, speak to your vet first.

LeMieux rug FAQs

What weight LeMieux turnout rug does my horse need?

Match the fill to the temperature and your horse: 0–50g for mild wet weather, 100g for autumn and spring, 200g for typical UK winter days, and 300–350g for freezing spells or clipped horses. An unclipped native type usually needs less than a clipped competition horse, so start lighter and layer up if your horse feels cold behind the ears or shivers.

How do I measure my horse for a rug?

Measure in a straight line from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point where you want the rug to end at the tail. That measurement in feet and inches is the rug size — the rugs in this collection run in 3-inch steps, typically from 4ft 9 to 7ft 3 depending on the style. If your horse is between sizes, most owners size up.

What is the difference between the Kudos and Arika turnout ranges?

Both are waterproof LeMieux turnout ranges sold by fill weight. Kudos is the flagship line and costs more — £189.95 to £225.95 here, with Thermo Layer versions up to £229.95 — while the Arika Storm-Tek rugs are the more affordable route into the brand at £149.95 for the 100g and £169.95 for the 350g. If you are unsure which suits your horse and budget, get in touch and our team will help.

Which LeMieux rug is best for fly season?

For most horses the Arika Armour-Tek Fly Rug (£89.95) covers everyday fly protection. If your horse lives out through summer showers, the Kudos Shower Pro Waterproof Fly Rug (£124.95) adds a waterproof top. For horses that react badly to midge bites, the Kudos Sweet Itch Rug (£114.95) gives fuller coverage — and if skin reactions are severe, involve your vet as well as a rug.

What is a cooler rug actually for?

A cooler wicks sweat and water away from the coat after exercise or a bath, so the horse dries without getting chilled. The Carbon Cooler Rug (£64.95) is the lowest-priced cooler here, while the Kudos Fleece Cooler and Kudos Mesh Sports Cooler (both £99.95) suit cooler days and warmer days respectively. They also work as travel or stable layers.

How should I wash and store a LeMieux rug?

Always follow the care label on your specific rug. As a general rule, brush off dried mud regularly, use a rug-specific wash rather than biological detergent on waterproof rugs, and let rugs dry fully before storing them clean and dry for the off-season — damp storage is what ruins waterproofing and stitching fastest.
