How do the LeMieux turnout rug weights compare?
Rug "weight" is the grams of fill. More grams means more warmth — it says nothing about how waterproof the rug is, which is down to the outer shell. Use this as a starting point, then adjust for your horse's coat, clip, age and how sheltered the field is.
| Rug | Fill | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| LeMieux Arika Storm-Tek Rug 100g | 100g | Mild, wet days; autumn turnout for a horse in full coat | £149.95 |
| LeMieux Arika Storm-Tek Rug 350g | 350g | Cold snaps and clipped horses living out | £169.95 |
| LeMieux Kudos Turnout Rug 50g | 50g | Rain protection with only a touch of warmth | £189.95 |
| LeMieux Kudos Turnout Rug 100g | 100g | Milder winter days and shoulder seasons | £199.95 |
| LeMieux Kudos Turnout Rug 200g | 200g | The everyday UK winter choice; every size in stock | £215.95 |
| LeMieux Kudos Thermo Layer Turnout Rug 100g | 100g | Lighter Thermo Layer option for changeable weather | £219.95 |
| LeMieux Kudos Turnout Rug 350g | 350g | Deep winter, clipped horses, exposed fields | £225.95 |

Sizes across the range run from 4ft 9 to 7ft 3. Availability varies by size and rug, so check the individual product page for what is in stock right now. One further rug, the LeMieux Arika Storm-Tek Rug 200g, sits in this collection but is out of stock at the moment, so it is not listed in the table above.
What is the difference between the Kudos and Arika Storm-Tek ranges?
Both are waterproof turnout rugs built for horses living out in British weather, and the difference starts with the outer shell: the Arika Storm-Tek rugs use a 1200D waterproof outer, while the Kudos and Kudos Thermo Layer rugs step up to a 1680D ballistic weave. The Kudos rugs sit at the higher end of this collection and come in the widest spread of fills here — 50g, 100g, 200g and 350g — so you can build a full wardrobe within one range and keep the fit consistent as the weather turns. The Kudos Thermo Layer rugs, at 100g and 300g, focus on warmth for their thickness. The Arika Storm-Tek rugs are the more affordable route in, with the 100g at £149.95 and the 350g at £169.95.
Because features differ rug by rug — neck cover, gussets, lining and closures all vary — check the individual product page for the exact specification before you order.
How do I measure my horse for a turnout rug?
Stand your horse square. Run a soft tape from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point where you want the rug to finish — usually the back edge of the hindquarters. That measurement in feet and inches is your rug size. If you land between two sizes, most people go up rather than down, especially for a horse with big shoulders or a broad barrel.
How many turnout rugs does one horse actually need?
Two covers most situations: a lighter rug for mild, wet weather and a warmer one for cold spells. A third, heavier rug is worth it if your horse is clipped, older, or in an exposed field. Having a spare also means you are not stuck when one is soaked or in for repair.
Can I wash a LeMieux turnout rug at home?
Brush off dried mud first, then follow the care label on the rug itself. Domestic machines struggle with the weight of a wet heavy rug and ordinary detergents can strip the waterproof finish, so many owners use a specialist rug wash service and re-proof afterwards. Always let a rug dry fully before it goes back on.
LeMieux turnout rug questions answered
What weight turnout rug do I need for a UK winter?
For an unclipped horse living out through a normal British winter, a medium fill of around 200g is the usual answer — the LeMieux Kudos Turnout Rug 200g at £215.95 is that rug in this collection. If your horse is clipped, older, or in an exposed field, go heavier with the Kudos Turnout Rug 350g at £225.95 or the Kudos Thermo Layer Turnout Rug 300g at £229.95. For mild wet weather, a 100g such as the Arika Storm-Tek Rug 100g at £149.95 is plenty.
What sizes do LeMieux turnout rugs come in?
The rugs in this collection are offered in sizes from 4ft 9 up to 7ft 3, in three-inch steps. Which sizes are actually in stock varies by rug, so the individual product page shows what is available right now. If your horse sits between two sizes, most owners size up for extra shoulder room.
What is the cheapest LeMieux turnout rug you have in stock?
The lowest in-stock price in this collection is the LeMieux Arika Storm-Tek Rug 100g at £149.95. The Arika Storm-Tek Rug 350g follows at £169.95, and the LeMieux Kudos Turnout Rug 50g at £189.95 is the entry point into the Kudos range.
Are LeMieux turnout rugs waterproof?
Yes — every rug in this collection has a waterproof outer shell: 1200D on the Arika Storm-Tek rugs, and 1680D ballistic weave on the Kudos and Kudos Thermo Layer rugs. Each one also has an antibacterial, anti-static lining to help prevent rubbing. Breathability matters as much as waterproofing, because a horse that sweats under a rug ends up damp and cold, so read the individual product page for the full shell and lining specification of the rug you are looking at.
What colour are the LeMieux turnout rugs in stock?
Every rug currently listed in this collection is navy. If you are after a different colourway, get in touch and our team will help you check what else we can source.
