Very tough and tight weave
I love this fly sheet it's very generous and it's cut with the exception of the belly bands. I feel that there should be more adjustment as I have it all the way out and it is still very snug on my beefy quarterhorse. Literally less than 12" of strap. Other than that it fits very well and the neck is plenty long. I like the tail keeper that is in The tail Flap. I like the UV protection, it's just right and no sunburned coats.

Okay fly sheet
So first issue is if your horse lays down on the sheet it gets crinkled and then won’t hang down it kinda just sticks out in the air. Second issues flyer are constantly getting stuck under the sheet! This has happened with a couple bees as well and my poor guy has been stung. Lastly this version doesn’t have as much shoulder room as the 2017 version I think: no amount of adjusting could get the front shoulder areas to not rub him after he put on some weight. If you have a very narrow horse think saddle bred or senior horse it may fit better but for my narrow but thickening up 6 year old ottb it was too small in the shoulders.

Not for Iowa Summers
I ordered 2 of these fly sheets for my quarter horses. The blanket part fit exactly as my horse measured. The neck piece was too long.
I fit my horses with these sheets in the evening & checked them over my lunch the next day. These sheets are so heavy duty that a breeze does not get through the sheet. My poor horses were in a lathered sweat from their fly sheets. Not sure if our humidity is the problem or what, but unfortunately these will not work for us.
I wish the sheets came with instructions on how to properly put these on, there are always extra velcro spots & in this case a short length of rope I had no idea what they were for.

Lightweight, decent fit, good length
Negative: If you're used to a super contoured/wither-relief type of fit, this sheet might disappoint a little in its standard cut fit through the withers/back.
Positives: very lightweight and breathable; really like the extra length and the design of the belly-band; contoured darts over the rump and shoulder gussets are great additions.
Fit: size down; these run big... my "typically size 80" horse has this blanket in a size 78 and it is tightened/adjusted on all of the smallest settings. My second horse, who is "typically size 78", also has all kinds of extra room in the size 75 - it hangs way down past his butt even with the tightest chest settings, but I think a 72 would be too small.

works as good as others so far
the positives so far.
- lovely colors to choose
-love the neck cover and the overall fit
- so far only rubs at the withers(on mare for 22 hours a day since late may)
-seems to not shift too much
- has a warranty
negatives
-cant get a replacement as they are out of fly sheets and its only middle of july
(smartPak did offer -I return the fly sheet then get a credit for a different one, but my mare cant go without a fly sheet :( or have a local person fix the holes and send the receipt for a store credit, but i dont have any local who repairs)
-did get holes in the sheet preety quickly that slowly got bigger. my mare is a teenager and isnt very hipper but the bugs are terrible and she does rub.
- the buckles got rusty fast however, they are still serviceable
overall I am hoping to get a replacement next season since i know this sheet wont last the whole season this year, but to be fair i have never had a sheet last more then a season before.

3 Year Guarantee, Breathable, Easy to put on
I have been using these fly sheets for my horses for the past 2 years. I can not say enough good things about them. I have them on 11 different horses. They hold up great and having the 3 year guarantee makes some of my rough on sheets horses be able to wear with confidence!

I ordered a 78 for my QH. The neck attachment is a little long for her short neck, but I actually prefer it that way. Fits her great and she seems comfortable. Doesn’t slip from side to side either.

Ripped within 24 hours
My horse wore this sheet for less than 24 hours (4pm - 10am) and it had 3 holes in it. I know it has a guarantee but I don't have high hopes for the longevity of these sheets if this is how it performed in the first day I had it on him.

Great fit
Bought for a hard to fit horse and so far it has stayed in place and works perfectly.
