Weatherbeeta Comfitec Ultra Comfi Rug: Tried and Tested

Weatherbeeta Comfitec Ultra Comfi Rug: tried and Tested by Our Team Rider Nicole

I’ve been using the Weatherbeeta Comfitec Ultra Comfi Detach-A-Neck rug for my mare Jess for a few months now, and I have to say, it's been an absolute game-changer.

As winter is well underway it important to find a quality rug that provides the right level of warmth and protection from the elements.

I can confidently say it checks all the boxes.

 


Fit and Comfort: Jess has a large shoulders and a wide chest so finding rugs that are wide enough and aren’t too tight can be tricky. The Comfitec Ultra Comfi fits her perfectly. The adjustable front straps and shoulder gussets allowed me to adjust the rug to fit without being too tight but allowing movement.

The rug also is deeper in the body due the ultra belly wrap so offers maximum coverage (and protects against the mud!). The Detachable Snug Fit fleece Neck cover is a lovely feature to have in the winter.

On cold and windy days I leave the fleece attached to stop the chill blowing down the neck, and o milder days I simply detach it. This flexibility is perfect for the fluctuating weather we’ve lately.

 


Waterproofing and Breathability: With Jess, I always worry about her getting too hot or cold especially with the fluctuating temperatures we’ve been having.

The Weatherbeeta Ultra Comfi does an excellent job at maintaining the right temperature whilst being waterproof and breathable. Poor jess got caught out in a downpour recently and thankfully was still dry underneath due to the 1800 denier Teflon EcoElite™ coated outer shell.

The addition of the liner system means I have been able to add which ever liner (100g, 200g & 300g) is needed to keep jess warm whist only needing to use one turnout rug this winter.

 

 

Twist and Lock Fastenings: The standout features for me has been the new Twist and Lock Fastenings. They incredibly easy to use – just twist to tighten and lock, and they stay securely in place.

The design is simple but effective, and it’s much faster than traditional buckle straps and also makes the rug considerably lighter. The main advantage of these new twist and lock fastenings is its almost impossible for things to get caught on them.

Jess usually has a haynet tied up in the field during winter and to know she can no longer get her rug caught puts my mind at ease. It’s clear that Weatherbeeta has thought about making this rug as convenient and as safe as possible.

 

 

Reflective Strips: Another feature I love is the reflective strips on the rug. Jess is often out early morning until late evening and the reflective strips add an extra layer of safety when I’m leading her out in low light conditions.

It’s a small touch, but one that definitely gives me peace of mind. I can also find her easily in the field with my torch!  

 

 

Final Thoughts: Overall, I’m thrilled with the Weatherbeeta Comfitec Ultra Comfi Detach-A-Neck rug. It’s the perfect combination of warmth, comfort, and durability.

Jess has been wearing it almost every day since I got it, and it’s been amazing to see her so comfortable in all types of weather.

If you’re looking for a high-quality, versatile rug that keeps your horse comfortable while withstanding the elements, I highly recommend this one.
