Does anybody have one of these and if so are they good?
It is the medium weight (170g) one I am debating.
I usually have Weatherbeetas but after buying a brand new one and it being on my horse only overnight - it has leaked like a sieve so I am not a happy bunny. 
Like the look of the Zing one but dont know what they are like and how they compare size wise to the WB ones.
Any comments greatly appreciated!

I have a zing lightweight and its been fine, it does leak a bit in very heavy rain but its a lightweight and most of them do if there is a big downpour. I would have another one. As to the size i would say they are very similar possible a slightly different cut around the shoulders but havent found it enough to make a difference

ditto - except I probably wouldn't have another, I prefer the Amigo 1200.

Hmm, the WB ones with the side gusset fits her lovely, she has quite big shoulders so need something with a gusset on the sides. The Freestyle ones dont fit her at all.
The new one I got her was saturated completely through and she was shivering under it. It wasnt just a bit damp. I will send it back.
Never looked at the Amigos - will have to have a look.
Going to Burghley tomorrow so may need to investigate!

I had an amigo which pickle trashed (and he has never broken a rug before) now have a masta zing which is very sturdy and even comes up quite big which is rare on pickle as he is massive!!!

I got one last year, hasn't leaked yet, but I don't like the fit of it. It has a massive neck & shoulders bit and I feel the surcingles are too close to the front. I wouldn't have another one.

Echo the above, horse stayed dry but the fit was very poor. Wouldn't buy another.

All the lining ripped on the inside of mine. I use it as my emergency spare.
