Product Details

The Rambo 1680D Plus Turnout 250g VL (Formally known as Rambo Supreme Vari-Layer Medium Weight Turnout) has been updated to have a 1680D ballistic nylon shell which is 120% stronger than the original 1000D fabric. Vari-layer technology has been designed to offer more warmth with less weight than a traditional medium weight turnout blanket.

Vari-Layer^TMtechnology works by concentrating on the areas of the body where the horse loses the most body heat, primarily the over the back and hips. By putting the majority of the fiberfill over these areas, the blanket is able to wrap more closely to the body and trap more body heat (an increase in thermal values of up to 30%) with less weight overall. The effect of gravity compression is also lessened, meaning the blanket stays fuller, longer and is therefore warmer.

Additional features of the Rambo 1680D Plus Turnout 250g VL include:

1680 Ballistic Nylon Outer Shell
250g of thermo-bonded fiberfill
Antibacterial, antistatic polyester lining
Tail Flap
Reflective Strips
Wipe clean tail cord
Patented V-front closure system
Leg Arches
Removable neck cover is included
Compatible with the Horseware liner system - change your blanket's warmth with the changing seasons by adding a Horseware Liner in 100g, 200g, 300g, or 400g weights
3-cross surcingle with safety clip system breaks in event of an emergency
3-year waterproofing guarantee when you register your blanket with Horseware and Care for it Properly

Blanket Care

Follow these easy steps to safely clean, waterproof and store your blankets for next year.

Step 1: If your blanket is caked with mud or really dirty, gently hose blanket off before washing.

Step 2: If your blanket has a lot of horse hair stuck in lining, you may want to vacuum as much hair as possible out (this is why we prefer smooth nylon lined blankets!)

Step 3: Wash in a FRONT Loader washing machine (do NOT use an agitator style washing machine - the agitator damages the fabric and can permanently ruin the fiber fill insulation).

Use cold water
Use the bulky item cycle if your machine has it
Use the low spin speed cycle
Use a detergent specially made to maintain waterproofing - we use and recommend Rambo Blanket Wash

Step 4: Hang your blankets on a fence to dry (do NOT put in dryer as it will ruin waterproofing and can damage the fabric).

Do NOT Use Agitator Style Washer

Agitators can damage the outer shell of your blanket and compromise the fiber fill distribution. Blanket manufacturers will not honor warranty claims if blanket is washed in an agitator style machine.

Use a Front Loading Machine

If your front loading machine has a bulky cycle, use it. We recommend cold water and a low spin speed.

Hang Blankets on Fence to Dry

Do NOT put your turnout blankets in a dryer. The heat ruins the waterproofing and can damage the outer shell.

Step 5: Once your blankets are clean and dry, now is a good time to see if they are still waterproof. Take a cup of water, and pour over blanket. Water should bead up and roll off, if not, it is time to re-waterproof.

Check for waterproofness and re-waterproof if necessary

Passed Waterproofing Test

We treated this old turnout with Dry Guys Waterproofing.

Step 6 (Optional): Re-waterproof your turnouts. Trust us, do it now, so when it is 35 degrees and pouring next Fall and you need your blanket waterproof, you will be glad you didn't procrastinate! We like Fiebings Water Protector Spray Spray (also comes in a concentrate). Spray your blanket evenly with the Fiebings. Let it dry and do a second coat. One regular bottle does 2 blankets well.

Step 7 (Optional): If your blanket has any nicks or tears, you can repair them easily using Rambo Stormsure and Rambo Rug Repair Kit. You can also replace leg straps and tail cords if they are worn.

Step 8: Store safely for next year. If you have the original blanket bag, you can use it or we also like using the Space Bags. If using a Space Bag, you may want to put the content details on an paper insert (easier to read then writing on bag). Be sure to store in a rodent free area - it would be a big bummer to find a hole chewed in your carefully cleaned and stored blanket!

Trust us, next winter pulling your fresh, clean, waterproof blanket out of its storage bag will be ALMOST as rewarding as buying a new one!
