Turnout Hoods for Wet, Cold Days
Filled and no-fill hoods from the brands in this guide
Find your brand, then your blanket line: each section shows the hood made for it, the fill weights and how it fastens, so the one you order goes straight on. First, the three ways a hood attaches.
Before you pick a hood, know which kind your blanket takes. Most brands build hoods for one line; a few hoods fit any blanket with the right D-rings; some blankets come with the neck already on.
Equinavia makes a neck cover for each turnout series: Arktis, Arktis Flex (VariFlex and TransitionFlex), Norse and Norse Pony, each in a no-fill and a warmer version.

Bucas Combi-Necks
Each one made for its own Bucas blanket line.
I love my horses new blanket! His last one had large gaps between his hood and blanket and never sat right. This one has no gaps for cold wind to blow in and stays where it’s supposed to!
Massive arctic front in Texas moved in, so I bought the neck rug to keep the brutal -1° winds off my horse’s neck. It worked well and was still in place 4 days later. I bought Weatherbeeta after returning a different brand. The latches on the other brand broke after one day. Weatherbeeta is high quality. I will never buy anything other brand.
This blanket was the perfect fit! Plenty of length on the sides and neck coverage. My horses tend to be hard on blankets and the quality of clips and closures are critical for longevity of our blankets. These were the best quality we have tried yet. Warm, great fit, safe.
I love my Rambo stuff. I do use their 100g turnout blankets and turnout sheets (although Phoenix's pre-dates the liners) with a selection of 100 through 300g blanket liners. Seriously the best. The liners are so easy to throw in the washing machine too. Last winter I also expanded into neck rugs and they are great too. I think my only complaint might be that sometimes I get some static.
Questions riders ask
Usually not. Most hoods are made for one blanket line and fasten to that line’s loops, tabs or D-rings. Horseware, for example, notes the Rambo Original Hood won’t attach to a Rambo Duo. If your blanket’s brand makes no hood, the Centaur 1200D Neck Cover attaches to any blanket or sheet with three dee rings at the neck.
Catago says to order its neck pieces in your blanket size. Other brands size their hoods on their own charts, so check the size chart on the hood’s product page before you order.
A WeatherBeeta Detach-A-Neck is a turnout sold with its neck. A ComFiTec neck cover is the neck on its own, and most fit both the Detach-A-Neck and Standard styles of the same line, so you can add one to a Standard turnout or keep a spare.
Brands make hoods in fills that pair with their blankets. Shires, for example, makes Highlander Plus neck covers in 100, 200 and 300g to match the Highlander Plus turnouts of the same weight.
Turnout hoods are waterproof and built for outdoors. For the barn, brands make stable hoods to match their stable blankets, such as the Rhino Stable Hood, which Rhino notes is not waterproof and is meant for the stable.
