Not a true sheet
Ordered 3 of them. All 3 are lined. Not 0 gram fill. Came with 100 gram fill. Not a true sheet.

Nice Material but Check the Front Closure
I bought this blanket on another website - it is a minimalist blanket, but had great rain protection. However if you have your horse stabled anywhere around wire, be very careful. My horse got caught on the front blanket closure (as have two other horses at the ranch) because the closures are belly strap clasps. There is no adjustment in the front. Luckily he was caught before he pulled the fence down. A dangerous chest closure. Use the SmartPak closeup feature to observe.

Great Fit!
I purchased this sheet two weeks ago. My horse is a 16.2 warmblood (percheron cross) and I worried that the neck would be tight on him. I worried needlessly. This sheet fits him better than any brand I have purchased for him. It is deeper than most sheets and has a net lining which keeps him comfortable. It kept in place during multiple rolls in the mud. It is excellent value and beautifully made.

Excellent Quality-Durable and Well-Made
I hung on to an old patched-up sheet I had for my 16.3 TB because I couldn't find another one with mesh lining. Since I'd recently bought a Shires fly mask that was one of the nicest designs I'd ever seen (as well as durable), I was pleased to find this Tempest Shires sheet had a mesh lining. The Air Motion feature works very nicely and my horse's coat shines when I remove the sheet. My horse hasn't put one tear in this yet after a month of solid use. It is well-constructed--a Velcro strip at the chest in addition to the two chest buckles keeps it securely fastened. The sheet is also long on the sides and wraps my horse's belly a bit when the belly straps are fastened. There is a wide tail flap and it comes with a detachable strap, but my horse doesn't seem to need the strap. The sheet stays in place--I think the mesh lining helps. The color is a beautiful vivid shade of red with white trim, and I was impressed that even when my horse coated the sheet in mud, once it dried, it brushed right off.

Great sheet at a reasonable price
I buy for an entire team worth of horses at Cornell and am always looking for sheets that hold their waterproofing, are easy to put on and take off (those leg straps are always getting messed up), are cost effective, and if course in team colors (red and white). I bought four of these for some of our smaller horses on the team and they look great, have held their waterproofing (unlike the old storm cheetah sheets from Shires that we have) and love having the trail cord instead of leg straps. So far no complaints and will buy more as we need them!
