I bought my first wug in 1996 & although a little battered it's still going! I decided this year though to get the new update. Its brilliant. The fit is deep, well darted across shoulders, no seams to rub withers, it doesnt move in the stable or field & the new chasket type surcingles offer flexible under-tummy sizing. It hasnt let water drip down the high neck & doesnt need to be removed/changed for the stable (no wither/back seams to rub) Its cosy, lightweight to handle & the rain bounces off it - really chuffed & so are the now matching duo. I bought two figuring if they last half as long as the last one Ive more than had my monies worth!
