Premier Equine Buster 70g Turnout Rug with Classic Neck Cover - Purple

The Premier Equine Buster 70g Turnout Rug with Classic Neck Cover - Purple is a premium lightweight waterproof horse turnout rug combining durable 840D ballistic nylon, advanced dual-membrane technology and 70g Thermobonded insulation for reliable weather protection and everyday comfort.

Designed for horses requiring lightweight warmth during cooler, wet or changeable conditions, this versatile 70g turnout rug with detachable neck cover provides additional insulation without the bulk of a mediumweight rug.

Manufactured from hard-wearing 840 denier ballistic nylon, the Buster features a protective Teflon coating to help repel moisture and resist stains. Its advanced dual-membrane construction provides a 10,000mm waterproof rating and 10,000g/m²/24h breathability, helping keep rain out while allowing moisture vapour to escape.

The 70g Thermobonded filling offers a light insulating layer, making the rug particularly suitable for transitional seasons, cooler mornings and horses requiring additional warmth compared with a 0g, 40g or 50g turnout rug.

Premier Equine's signature deep-cut, self-righting Buster design combines a forward-cut neckline, fleece-lined wither pad and patented extra-high elasticated shoulder gusset to support comfort and freedom of movement during turnout.

The included detachable 70g Classic Neck Cover features a traditional non-elastic design and secure double-locking hook-and-loop straps, providing additional coverage against rain and wind when required.

Complete with Standard Rug Liner attachment points, reflective detailing, stainless steel hardware and a waterproof padded tail flap, the Buster 70g provides an adaptable rugging solution for changing conditions.

Finished in Purple, this turnout rug combines advanced technical performance with the trusted construction of the Premier Equine Buster range.

The detachable 70g Classic Neck Cover is included. Compatible Premier Equine Standard Rug Liners are sold separately.

Why Choose the Premier Equine Buster 70g Turnout Rug?

The Premier Equine Buster 70g combines durable waterproof protection with versatile lightweight insulation, making it a practical choice for horses requiring additional warmth during seasonal transitions.

Its strong 840D ballistic nylon outer and advanced dual-membrane system provide reliable weather protection while maintaining breathability.

The detachable Classic Neck Cover allows additional coverage when needed, while the compatible liner attachment system offers flexibility for changing temperatures.

The extra-high elasticated shoulder gusset and self-righting Buster design help maintain comfort and freedom of movement during regular field use.

Durable 840D Ballistic Nylon Outer

The Buster 70g is manufactured from 840 denier ballistic nylon, a robust fabric designed for regular turnout.

A protective Teflon coating helps repel moisture and resist staining, supporting the rug's weather-resistant finish.

This construction provides durability while maintaining the flexibility required for comfortable movement.

Advanced Dual-Membrane Waterproof Technology

The Buster features two specialist membranes designed to provide effective waterproofing, breathability and moisture management.

The first waterproof and breathable membrane sits beneath the outer shell, helping prevent rainwater from penetrating while allowing moisture vapour to escape.

A second hydrophilic membrane is positioned deeper in the rug's construction, helping draw and disperse moisture away from the horse's coat.

Together, these technologies provide:

Waterproof Rating: 10,000mm hydrostatic head

Breathability Rating: 10,000g/m²/24h

The dual-membrane construction also helps protect the insulating filling from moisture during wet conditions.

Lightweight 70g Thermobonded Insulation

The rug features 70g of Thermobonded filling, providing a lightweight layer of warmth beneath the waterproof outer.

This offers slightly more insulation than the 40g and 50g Buster models while retaining a lightweight design.

The appropriate rug weight should always be selected according to the individual horse, clipping, temperature and turnout conditions.

Detachable 70g Classic Neck Cover Included

The Buster 70g is supplied with a detachable 70g Classic Neck Cover.

Its traditional design provides additional neck coverage without an elasticated poll, distinguishing it from Premier Equine's Snug-Fit Neck Cover.

The neck cover attaches using hook-and-loop fastenings and features double-locking straps to help maintain a secure fit.

It can be removed when additional coverage is not required.

Forward-Cut Neckline & Fleece-Lined Wither Pad

The rug features a forward-cut neckline positioned approximately 2–4 inches in front of the wither.

This construction allows the neckline to sit comfortably ahead of the shoulder, helping minimise pressure and rubbing around the withers.

A soft fleece-lined wither pad provides additional cushioning.

Patented Extra-High Elasticated Shoulder Gusset

The Buster 70g features Premier Equine's extra-high elasticated shoulder gusset, designed to accommodate the horse's natural movement.

The flexible construction provides additional space around the shoulders during walking, grazing and turnout.

Shoulder Gusset Design Registration: British Design Registration 4 010 772.

Deep-Cut, Self-Righting Buster Design

Based on Premier Equine's original Buster pattern, the rug features a deep-cut design for generous body coverage.

Its seamless construction and low-cross surcingles help maintain a comfortable, secure fit.

The self-righting design encourages the rug to return to its intended position following normal movement.

Although the rug is designed to function without leg straps, detachable and adjustable leg straps are included for owners who prefer additional security.

Compatible with Premier Equine Standard Rug Liners

The Buster 70g includes attachment points for compatible Premier Equine Standard Rug Liners.

This allows additional insulation to be fitted beneath the rug when temperatures fall, making the rugging arrangement more versatile.

Compatible rug liners are sold separately.

Always confirm the selected liner is compatible with the rug and correctly sized.

Antibacterial & Anti-Static Lining

The rug features a smooth breathable polyester lining with antibacterial and anti-static properties.

Designed for comfortable contact against the horse's coat, the lining helps minimise static during regular wear.

Extended Waterproof Tail Flap

A generous lengthened, waterproof padded tail flap offers additional coverage around the hindquarters.

Its construction helps provide protection against rain and wind while resisting lifting during breezy conditions.

Secure Stainless Steel Fastenings

The Buster 70g incorporates durable stainless steel hardware, including quick-release chest clips and secure cross surcingle fittings.

A PVC-coated clip-on tail strap provides additional rear security and is designed to be easy to clean.

Detachable, adjustable leg straps are also included.

Reflective Safety Detailing

Branded reflective strips are positioned at the front, sides and rear of the rug.

These details help improve visibility in low-light conditions, providing a useful additional feature during darker mornings and evenings.

Indoor & Outdoor Versatility

Although primarily designed for turnout, the Buster 70g can also be used indoors when appropriate.

Its breathable construction and lightweight insulation offer versatility, although the horse should always be monitored to ensure the rug remains suitable for the temperature and environment.

Complimentary Reusable Storage Bag

The Premier Equine Buster 70g Turnout Rug is supplied in a complimentary reusable zip-fastened storage bag.

The bag makes the rug convenient to carry and helps keep it organised when not in use.

Care Instructions

The Premier Equine Buster 70g Turnout Rug is machine washable at 30°C, following the manufacturer's care instructions.

Remove loose dirt and hair before washing and secure the chest fastenings, neck cover straps and surcingles to help protect the fabric.

Use a suitable cleaning product for waterproof horse rugs and avoid harsh detergents or fabric conditioners that may affect the waterproof membranes and protective coating.

Allow the rug and neck cover to dry naturally.

Store the rug in its reusable zip-fastened storage bag once completely dry.
