Lightweight turnout blankets are the warm-weather end of the waterproof blanket range — typically 0 to 100 grams of fill inside a waterproof, breathable outer shell. The fill provides minimal warmth; what you're really buying is protection from wind, rain, and mud on days when the temperature doesn't call for insulation. Many riders reach for a lightweight turnout more often than any other blanket in the wardrobe.

Tack of the Day carries lightweight turnouts from Rambo, Amigo, WeatherBeeta, Rhino, and other leading brands at prices well below full retail. These are high-turnover items — stock rotates frequently, and the right size in the right style won't sit around long.

A few things to look for: waterproof rating (look for a hydrostatic head rating of 1200mm or higher for reliable rain protection), breathability (especially important for active horses turned out during the day), and denier on the outer shell. A 600D or higher shell resists tears from fence contact and normal turnout wear. Like any turnout, fit at the withers is the first thing to check.
