rambo protector
I really like this fly sheet. It is much lighter than most and keeps my horse cooler on hot, humid days.
I would highly recommend this sheet to a friend.

RUNS A SIZE LARGE!
I love this fly sheet and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality fly sheet. I warn anyone though, order a size smaller than you would for normal Rambos.. If your horse wears a 78" regularly.. order a 75".

Most durable so far
This is the most durable fly sheet I have tried so far. The stable owners call my horse's fly sheets "chew toys for Landon" (my horse's pasture playmate) because they have been hanging in shreds from my horse within days/a couple of weeks of wear. This sheet only has 2 golf ball sized holes after a good 6 weeks of wear and they are not fraying nor otherwise getting larger. :)

Great fly sheet, but watch for fit
First, let me say this is the same high quality product you would expect from Rambo. The material is softer than most fly sheets and my horse doesn't get near as sweaty under it as past sheets. It seems to be durable because my guy takes his daily rolling very seriously. No rips or tears so far.
My only complaint was the fit. I ordered a 78 which is the size of his Rambo turnout blankets and sheets. It was so much longer than his other 78s. The end of the sheet (not the tail piece) hung to the end of his tail dock. The sides on the ends hung to below his hocks. A smaller size wouldn't work because the front of the sheet fit really well. (He is a tank of a warmblood so someone with a more "petite" horse may find a smaller size works.)
I'm lucky enough to know a woman who does blanket repairs and she altered the sheet to fit.

Doing its job
So far so good on this fly sheet from Rambo. This sheet does run large. Had to return the 81 and order one size down. The horse I bought this fly sheet for normally wears a size 81 in Rambo blankets but the 81 was too long for him. Good quality. My horse stays cooler and bug free in this fly sheet.

Poor Fit
Horse normally wears a 78 or 80, but per the Horseware measurments, I ordered a 75. It fit fine lengthwise, but the neck was cut too large and the sheet kept sliding back and pulling hard on horses neck. If it had been a less expensive sheet, it might have been okay, but for what these sheets cost, I expected it to fit perfectly. I returned it.

Very Happy
Rambo has always had great durable products and this one is no acception. Very well put together. The Belly bands along with the Chest straps help keep it snug and where it belongs but still allows our horse to move freely. Stands up well to rolling and romping around in the paddock. The only downside I found was that it runs a bit large. Our TB is swimming in his!

I really like this fly sheet... It gives all over protection but it runs big... My horse is a true 78 to the t... It is way big. So as far as durability it is wonderful but I recommend going with 1 size smaller.....

Sad day
Yes a sad day to see after less than a month the front lower right and left trim and backing for the chest were frayed, pulled and torn. The buckles under the belly are showing signs of rust or discoloring at the least. There is one large pull. My horse is nineteen, well mannered but playful. I expect some ware and certainly some tare, but the amount and variety is way beyond reasonable to me.

sizing poor, otherwise great!
Like all Rambo products I've had over the years, it's durable and doesn't slide around when rolling etc. Keeps the flys out and the coat slick and shiney. However the sizing is way to big! My horse wears a 78, but a 75 is the right size for this product!

Survived Two Summers
I've had this fly sheet for two years. It made it through the first summer in great condition, but the second summer it got a bit torn up. I pulled it out the other day and looked it over and it now has several finger sized holes and a 3-inch long rip in it. My horse is an OTTB who spends time in a field with other horses and in his stall. He isn't particularly rough on his blankets. Looking at this fly sheet, compared to other brands, I would say it is probably fairly durable and fits well. It also kept his dark bay coat from bleaching out.
As an aside, I probably wouldn't recommend getting the cheaper Amigo version. I've owned both Rambo and Amigo products, and although I still think Rambo products are overpriced for what they are, the Amigo light weight sheet I have is of pretty low quality. I've had it for two years and it's faded and coming apart at the seams. I would have to assume that you might encounter similar issues with the Amigo fly sheet.

Very durable!!
This is a great fly sheet for horses that are rough on their clothes. My horse tore holes all through his last fly sheet but so far so good on this one! It also has great coverage so it offers good protection from those pesky bugs. It runs big though. I bought a 75 for my horse who normally wears a 78 and it fits fine.

Slides to one side, metal surcingles
I own a number of Rambo blankets - was hoping the fly sheet would fit as well but unfortunately, it does not. It fits slightly larger than the rambo wug lite and does not sit/stay midline (within 30 seconds of walking it had slid all the way to the left on my horse). Coverage of the belly is mediocre at best (wish they had a belly flap)....oddly enough, the metal surcingles which allow you to attach the neck piece are located on the underside of the blanket....which means they are against the horse's skin when the neck piece is detached (when its attached, the velcro straps cover the metal). That was concerning for me. Given the fit, I have to return the sheet - can't speak to whether the metal surcingles would end up being an issue since its going back.
Wish it was requisite with the quality of Rambo blankets!

Best fly sheet ever
Been through a bunch of fly sheets, seen them rip up like tissue, on my horses and boarders horses. Decided to bite the bullet on the Rambo and see if it was worth it, trying to keep my new mostly black Overo comfortable and black! He is dominant over his little grullo buddy in the paddock, be he's a roller and a rubber and by gosh the thing is holding up, even with the pine trees. He's in a shady paddock, but so far he hasn't come in sweaty, and it's in the upper eighties already here in the south. It's made it two months intact, stays on, doesn't shift, and doesn't bother him. However he won't keep his matching 'astronaut' face mask on. Usually put a safety halter on top of the horses who pull them off, but haven't tried it with this design. Also, horse is 16 hands, usually wears a 78", 75" fits perfectly, thanks to the reviewer who pointed that out.

Great Quality
I purchased this fly sheet for my daughter's thoroughbred - I love the fit, the quality, and ease of putting it on and taking it off. In fact, I like it so much that as soon as i am done with this review I am going to order one for my horse! My only suggestion is that it would be nice if it came in more than one color - so people like me with multiple horses, doesn't have to worry about mixing them up.

Sizing is too big, otherwise good
Many reviews said the sizing is too big - they are right. I have had to return and ask for the next size down. I like the feel of the material, and assume since it is a Rambo it will last a long time

The Best
I love all the Rambo products. Their blankets fit all of my quarter horses well. No rub areas, secure fit and the cut seems to fit around the chest and shoulders perfectly. I have tried many other fly sheets and blankets but have never been able to meet all areas I need for blankets. Durability is the best. Overall you get your money worth since they hold up a lot longer than the other brands.

The fly sheet does not fit like the Rambo in the same size. It runs larger. I like the idea of a tail flap, however it is much too long and my mare cannot get it out of the way to avoid urinating on her tail. For a gelding, it would probably be a better fit because of the tail flap issue.

Best out of Four
Black horse since 2008, this is the fourth sheet we tried to keep him dark and fly free in a very humid area. The mare he goes out with chewed up two and one did not fit at all, lots of rubs. This is the winner for a Quarter Horse. I would only complain at the gap in his chest, it gets fly spray, but otherwise has been wonderful.

Expensive but worth it!
The mosquitos are so big they have landing lights! This new Rambo Protector along with a Crusader fly mask with ears saves my thin-skinned girl from the hungry little buggers. Well worth the purchase price and it looks like it may even make it thorugh more than one season. Lets hope so!

Worth it.
It was difficult to decide to spend the extra $$ for this fly sheet, but it has stood up to plenty of abuse and remains in great shape. My last fly sheet ripped within a month. This has a snag here and there where she has rubbed against the fence, but it wears like iron and works beautifully. You do get what you pay for.

Great product
The fly sheet is well made and does the job. ZMy horse didn't get too hot under it either. The fit runs big. My horse is 16.3 and the 81 is too big. I would have been much happier with the 78.

Nice fly sheet, but a bit pricey.
I ordered this fly sheet in a 75 for my horse that wears a 78 in American-made clothing. It fit him well everywhere but in the length. It is way too long. I would have just exchanged it for a 72, but those were all sold out. Unfortunately I have to return it. I would definitely buy this sheet again, I would just try to get more information about the fit before ordering. I really liked the material and how everything else fit.

Talk to Someone who has one before you buy!
My horse has already rubbed a lot with this sheet on and it has held up perfectly! The fit is ok...my horse has a Rhino sheet and blanket that are a 72 and they fit her perfect but this sheet is big on her but it works. Also it doesn't clean up that well and is a bit pricey but it does do it's intended job well.

Well worth the $$$
Outstanding product. Very durable, fits great - the hardware and the material is best quality and holds up to daily turnout even in the blistering Southwestern sun. I did have to remove the tail flap because it was rubbing off the top of the tail. Smart Pak delivers the very best service of any of the on-line horse care companies. Thank you

I got this for my draft cross, and it fits perfectly. It's easy to wash, and he looks great in it. It is definitely worth it to spend a little more for this great quality fly sheet.
