When it comes to choosing a turnout rug, it’s easy to get caught up in denier, fill weights and features. But the most important place to start is always your horse. Their shape, their lifestyle and the time of year all play a part in finding the right rug and sometimes, the small details can make a big difference.
At Aloga Equestrian, the Turnout 2.0 and the Aloga Pro Turnout are designed with two slightly different needs in mind. Both offer reliable protection for life outside, but the differences in fabric, fit and design mean each has its own place in your horse’s wardrobe.
The Turnout 2.0
The Turnout 2.0 is our versatile everyday option, designed with a straightforward fit that works particularly well for horses with a standard or slimmer build.
Last year, we upgraded the outer fabric to a durable 900D ripstop, giving the Turnout 2.0 a practical, hard-wearing finish while keeping the design streamlined. The double straight front closure keeps things simple, creating a clean fit across the chest without adding unnecessary complication. Ideal for horses that are gentle on their blankets and are turnout alone or in small quiet groups.
Available in both 0g and 150g, the Turnout 2.0 is particularly well suited to those in-between months when the weather can’t quite make up its mind. These lighter weights offer useful flexibility as temperatures move from cool mornings to warmer afternoons, while the liner loops allow you to adapt the rug further as conditions change.
It’s the kind of turnout that earns its place in your horse’s wardrobe through versatility: uncomplicated, dependable and easy to reach for when you need a lighter layer.
The Aloga Pro Turnout
The Aloga Pro Turnout was created for those looking for more from their turnout.
The first difference you’ll notice is the fabric. The Pro is made from a robust 1200D polyester, giving it a more substantial outer fabric for horses who need something especially hard-wearing.
But it’s the details that really set the Pro apart. The front closure features two easy-to-use trigger clips, designed to make putting the rug on and taking it off simple while offering a secure fit across the chest. There are also hood loops and liner loops, giving you more options when it comes to adapting the rug throughout the season.
The Pro has been designed with movement and shape in mind. Three surcingles and two leg arches help create a secure, comfortable fit, while reflective binding and reflective tape at the tail flap add visibility when you're out and about in lower light.
When it comes to fit, the Pro’s design is intended to accommodate a wide variety of shapes, making it a strong choice for horses who don't always fit neatly into a standard cut. Available in a range of weight options from lightweight 0g and 50g, medium weight 200g and the heaviest fill in 350g there is something to suit every weather condition.
So, Which One Is Right for Your Horse?
Ultimately, it comes down to what your horse needs from their turnout.
For a slimmer-built horse who is gentle on their blankets, the Turnout 2.0 offers a simple, versatile option, particularly during the transitional months. The 900D ripstop fabric, lighter fill options and liner compatibility make it an easy piece to work into your everyday rug rotation.
For the broader-chested horse, or for anyone looking for a turnout with more technical features built into the design, the Aloga Pro offers that extra level of detail. From its 1200D outer to its Pro front closure, hood and liner loops, leg arches and reflective detailing, every element has been considered with practicality in mind.
When it comes to turnout, it isn't simply about choosing a rug. It's about choosing the right rug for your horse. Check out our complete Turnout range here.
