Review: Rambo Duo Force 2.0 - By Patty Hartman

A few weeks ago, Patty tested the Rambo Duo Force 2.0 for us. After using the rug for a while, Patty was able to tell us in detail how she and her horse liked it so far.

The Rambo Duo Force 2.0 Turnout is an extremely durable and multi-functional rug that offers four levels of warmth with just one purchase. It is ideal for use in changeable weather and features an extra strong 1000D Ripstop Ballistic Nylon outer. The perfect rug for horses that spend a lot of time outdoors! This rug is equipped with several features such as a detachable neck, double leg cutouts and safety belly girths, ensuring maximum comfort and safety for your horse. The enhanced extended neck prevents exposure to wind and water, while also protecting the secure front closures. The Rambo Duo Force 2.0 has a 100g Thermobonded fibre padding that provides long-lasting warmth, while the anti-bacterial, anti-static and shine-enhancing silky lining contributes to healthy skin and shiny coat.

Whatever the weather or temperature, this durable equine turnout rug bundle offers so much more choice; use the rug alone, add the detachable hood with extended hood shape for maximum neck protection and/or partner with the 100g or 300g Horseware® Eco Liners to turn up the heat on your horse's winter turnout rug in cold weather conditions.

The V-Front Closure & Surefit Neck design and double leg arches ensure extended comfort and reduce pressure around the shoulders. The blanket also features the Rambo Safety Belly Strap System, which can withstand 100kg of pressure but releases if your horse becomes dangerously trapped.

In addition, the blanket comes with a three-year guarantee on waterproofing and breathability and is packed in a durable 'Bag For Life'.

Patty Hartman's experience with the Rambo Duo Force 2.0 rug:

"You receive the Rambo duo force 2.0 in a very sturdy bag.
Have had this blanket for a few weeks now and am blazingly enthusiastic! It is in fact not easy to find a well-fitting blanket for Douwe.... 

His broad chest, thick neck and not very long body often cause blankets to press on his withers and slide around. 

Got size 195 for him and it fits perfectly, the detachable neck has plenty of room left and this keeps his mane from being closed off. There is enough room left for good ventilation.

What I find another big plus is that with one purchase you are done right away. The blanket is waterproof and you receive it with included liners of 100 and 300gr, allowing you to adjust its warmth yourself. With this changeable weather, that's just ideal, and it works very simply. 

Judging by Douwe's moves, it's comfortable!"

Pick the right size!
Does your horse need a new rug, but you are not sure which size fits best? When buying a horse rug, it is very important that the size is right for your horse. A rug that is too small or too tight increases the risk of chafing spots. A rug that is too big will easily sag, which will eventually damage the rug and make it uncomfortable for the horse. The best way to determine the size of the rug is to measure your horse's upper lengths and lower lengths. Also, how the blanket falls can vary from one blanket brand to another.
