Proper fit ensures maximum protection and comfort while preventing rubbing or restriction.

Material Composition & Care

Top Fabric: CoolMax moisture-wicking material

Side Panels: Breathable Sport Mesh

Shoulder Lining: 210D polyester

Leg Straps: Removable and adjustable

Care Instructions: Machine wash cold on gentle cycle or hand wash. Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners which can reduce moisture-wicking properties. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach. Remove leg straps before washing. Regular cleaning extends the life of the fly sheet and maintains its effectiveness.

Ideal Use Cases

Perfect for horses turned out in pastures during spring, summer, and early fall when flying insects are most active. Ideal for horses sensitive to insect bites, those with sweet itch or allergies, and any horse that benefits from fly protection during warm weather. Excellent for daytime turnout, overnight pasture use, and providing relief during peak insect hours. The breathable construction makes this sheet suitable even for hot, humid climates where traditional fly sheets might cause overheating.

CoolMax Technology Benefits

CoolMax is a specially engineered fabric technology that uses a unique fiber structure to enhance moisture management and cooling. The fabric actively moves perspiration and moisture away from your horse's coat to the outer surface where it can evaporate quickly. This process helps regulate your horse's body temperature during hot weather, preventing the discomfort and potential health issues associated with overheating. Unlike standard fly sheet materials, CoolMax continues to provide cooling benefits even when your horse is sweating, making it ideal for active horses or those in hot climates.

Sport Mesh Ventilation

The breathable Sport Mesh side panels provide maximum airflow where horses need it most. This strategic placement allows heat to escape from your horse's body while still providing protection from insects. The mesh construction is durable enough to withstand turnout conditions while remaining lightweight and comfortable. The combination of CoolMax top and mesh sides creates optimal ventilation that keeps your horse cooler than traditional solid-fabric fly sheets.

Shoulder Lining Protection

The 210D polyester shoulder lining is a critical feature that prevents the common problem of shoulder rubs and hair loss. This reinforced area protects your horse's coat in the high-friction zone where the sheet moves with your horse's shoulder motion. The smooth lining material glides over your horse's coat rather than abrading it, maintaining coat quality and preventing uncomfortable bare spots that can develop with poorly designed fly sheets.

Leg Strap System

The removable and adjustable leg straps are essential for keeping the fly sheet properly positioned during turnout. These straps prevent the sheet from shifting backward, twisting, or riding up, which could compromise protection and potentially create safety hazards. The adjustability allows you to customize the fit for your horse's conformation, while the removable design gives you the option to use the sheet without leg straps if preferred. Proper leg strap adjustment is key to preventing rubbing while maintaining sheet stability.

Standard Neck vs. Combo Neck

This standard neck fly sheet provides coverage from the withers back, leaving the neck exposed. This design is ideal for horses that don't require full neck protection, those in moderate climates, or situations where you want to use a separate neck cover. Standard neck sheets are also preferred by some horses who find full neck coverage too warm or restrictive. For horses requiring additional neck protection from insects or sun, consider pairing with a separate fly mask with neck coverage or upgrading to the combo neck version of this sheet.
