BUYER SAVVY

• Denier is analogous to thread count in bed sheets. Rule of thumb: The higher the denier, the tougher the fabric.

• Seamless-back construction helps prevent leaks. Look for this feature in turnout blankets, especially those to be used in wet climates.

• Horse blankets come in two basic cuts. European cut suits slim, long-bodied horses. Standard cut’s designed for wider, stock-type body profiles.
