Bravo 12 turnouts: a rider favorite from 0g sheet to 400g
Amigo Bravo 12 Plus Turnout 250g is the medium weight Bravo 12, with a 1200D polyester outer that is waterproof and breathable, 250g of fiberfill and a Surefit Neck design with disc closure. Leg arches keep freedom of movement, and three surcingles, a wipe clean tail cord and reflective strips come with a detachable hood included. Amigo calls it the best-selling Bravo 12.
The Plus turnout is also made as a 0g turnout sheet and in 400g for heavyweight winter turnout. The Bravo 12 Wug Turnout 0g and 250g swap the Plus neck for a high cut neck and a V-front closure, which Horseware designs for a narrow horse with high withers. For a larger, broader horse, Bravo 12 XL Original Turnout Lite has a more generous neck and drop, no fill and liner loops, so you can add a liner.
Pick Bravo 12 when you want one line that runs from turnout sheet to heavyweight. Look elsewhere if you want a straight front closure, because the Ripstop 900D below has one.
Amigo Bravo 12 Plus Turnout 250g
I replaced it with an Amigo Bravo 12 with the disc closure: which I like, a lot
I recently got a Amigo Bravo 12 turnout 50 gram in size. And when I think it was eighty one or no, eighty four. Just put it on her and I love it.
Ripstop 900D: a straight-front turnout for 100g and 200g days
Amigo Ripstop 900D Turnout 100g is a lightweight turnout with a 900D ripstop polyester outer that is waterproof and breathable, 100g of fiberfill and a shine enhancing polyester lining. It has a classic straight front closure and cross surcingles, plus liner and hood loops, with liners and hoods sold separately.
Amigo says 100g keeps a horse warm even if you body clip in winter, and Ripstop 900D Turnout 200g steps up to medium weight, which Amigo describes as warm even in really frigid winter weather. Both weights share the same straight front and cross surcingles, so the choice comes down to fill. A matching Ripstop 900D Turnout Hood is made, and pony, petite and stock horse versions of the line are also offered.
Choose Ripstop 900D when a straight front suits your horse and you want a lighter outer. Look elsewhere if you want a V front closure, because the 1200D Turnout below has one.
1200D turnouts: sheet to medium weight with hood and liner loops
Amigo 1200D Turnout 50g gives you a 1200D outer that is waterproof and breathable, a V front closure, three crossed web surcingles, a waterproof tail flap, a PVC wipe clean tail cord and reflective strips. Amigo says 50g can be just right for a lot of horses, warm enough but not too warm to leave on all day. Hood and liner loops let you add warmth later, with the hood and liner sold separately.
The 1200D Turnout runs 0g, 50g, 100g and 250g, and Amigo calls the 250g ideal for significant winter weather or for body clipped horses in moderate climates. 1200D Plus Turnout 50g and 100g include a detachable hood, the 1200D Wug Turnout adds high neck coverage, and 1200D FieldSafe Plus Turnout is a 0g blanket with a quick-release disc front closure.

What riders say about Amigo turnout blankets
Rider comments on Amigo turnouts, from fit and waterproofing to getting them on and off.
Have tired so many other brands and none fit quite right. First try on my gelding was a glass slipper moment!
Amigo Bravo 12 Plus Turnout 400g
★★★★★
This blanket style is the only blanket I have found that fits my warmblood and doesn't twist. I only buy Horseware blankets now.
★★★★★
I love these blankets. I have one I've used for several years for another horse and wanted one for our new horse. These are the easiest blankets to put on and off and they stay put. I love that it's lightweight but I can layer for the cold days.
I much prefer Amigo. They are superior in waterproofing to any other blanket I've tried (waterproofing is a VERY big deal for me).
