As a rough guide: lightweight rugs use around 0–100g for mild days, mediumweight rugs use about 150–250g for cool autumn and spring weather, and heavyweight rugs use 300g and above for the coldest part of winter. The exact warmth a horse needs depends on whether it is clipped, its age, its coat and whether it lives in or out — so treat fill weight as a starting point, not a fixed rule.
