Best Fly Sheet for the Price!
I have used the SmartPak Classic Fly Sheet on a few different horses for two years now and love it for the price point. It is super lightweight and breathable but also gives the horse 70% UV protection which is super helpful to avoid bleached out coats as our horses stay out 24/7 for the most part. I would say it fits very true to size. The most recent horse I purchased for is in-between a size 75” – 78” so I decided to size up. It fits him perfect through the neckline and shoulder (sometimes I find that due to the nature of fly sheet fabrics they can hang on the shoulder strange) and so far I have had no issues with rubbing. It’s a bit long in the back as I obviously expected by sizing up, but it still drapes over very nicely and have had no issues with the seam rubbing at the base of his tail. Easy on and off with surcingle closures on the chest and belly bands. The sheet also comes with a tail cord which I personally prefer for fly sheets as the elasticated leg-straps can be too heavy for the fabric. I machine wash on cold and hang dry, and it has held up great. If you are looking for basic coverage and sun protection to last a season or two the value of this sheet really cannot be beat!

Did not hold up
I bought 2 of these fly sheets for my daughter's horse. The first one lasted 2 weeks, and the second one did not last 24 hours. We loved the color and the fact that it was light weight. The matching fly boots have been a great purchase.

Ripped the next day
Had it on a week and it already has rips. Was on a horse that is by himself, so not wear and tear rips but just plain he rolled and sagged the rump in two places somehow. Its super light, best maybe in a stall environment, not outside.

Finally it fits!
This is my 2nd time ordering this sheet . I liked it so much the first one so I ordered again in a different color .It is the perfect weight for hot days and keeps the flys off. I have a hard time fitting my large 17’3 Percheron / TB cross but this stays out and holds up great to daily t/o and overnight.

Nice light weight flysheet
Only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it’s cut odd around the shoulders. I have an ottb he doesn’t have a wide chest.

Light weight and soft material
This fly sheet seems cool and lightweight material. It’s 103 degrees today and she was out eating grass all day. The velcro in front is starting to get loose, and it has no fleece at the withers. Otherwise it’s a nice summer fly sheet.

Great sheet
I bought this fly sheet for my last horse & just had to have it for my new horse. It’s a great fit, I love the light material. It has everything that a fly sheet should have. I hope they continue to make it.

Didn’t last
Got this sheet for my senior mare on May 13 and by June 2 it had been ruined. I really liked that this was a light, breezy sheet but I need it to last longer than like 3 weeks. My old mare is not hard on sheets either, she wears a sheet for the entirety of the summer because she’s horribly allergic to all flying bugs. She’s good to make one last all summer without issue. Disappointed I have to buy another one so soon. I take it off during inclement weather so she doesn’t wear it 100% of the time either.

Lightweight, fits well
The fabric is nice and light, and doesn't seem to make my horse hot. Fits true to size.

Poor fit
This may work for some breeds, but it bunched up significantly on my horses withers and would absolutely not fit her, but she has high head carriage (friesian) so not much does. Probably better suited for ottbs and such. Pink color is great! I’m sad that Smartpak doesn’t have this in a cutback model.

Unsatisfactory
Have purchased this some weeks ago and the sheet is already full of holes... Tried to find a softer material than the Kensington fly sheets I usually buy. This was an unfortunate purchase.

Good fit!
Fits perfectly. My horse has a tendency to destroy everything because she parties like a rockstar in her paddock. This has held up well, it’s gotten quite dirty, but no rips or tears yet

This is protecting my mare from the miserable, and does not appear to make her hotter during out hot humid weather. Also, the velcro closures in front under the hooks protect her skin from rubs.

Lasted a week before ripping
Was hoping to have this hold up for the summer but after 1 week the entire front ripped at the buckles. The horse who was wearing it is easy on blankets, so it might have just gotten caught and ripped but I assume it was too torn to return.

Nice fly sheet for the price. Seems a little narrow in the shoulders, but the long tail flap is a plus.

Frustrating fit
I initially bought this for my half Arab mare in a size 69 (she usually wears a 69 or 70, depending on fit). The 69 was far too small, so I ordered the next size up (a 72) and crossed my fingers. It was a little long but lightweight enough that I didn't think it would pull or drag. However, it seemed a little snug across her chest, which is odd because she's pretty petite. After a few days of wear, the fly sheet had to be removed because the center chest (around the placement of the clasps) had rubbed her raw. It's clear she just can't wear the particular sheet, and that's a shame because it's a great light fabric.

Shockingly poor quality
For the price, I wasn’t expecting miracles. But the quality of this fly sheet is terrible. My horse is turned out alone and is not hard on his blankets. He has worn this fly sheet for one week. The front is torn in several places, and the sheet is torn where one of the belly straps attaches. What a waste of money. I’ve had this horse for 13 years, and have never had this problem with any other fly sheet or other blanket.

Disappointed in SmartPak quality
I’ve used the ultimate turnout blanket with great success, so I thought this fly sheet would be great. Unfortunately it caused a rub on my horse’s chest within one day of use and it ripped already. He is a very mellow guy and is not hard on blankets. This was the same size as his other smartpak blanket too.

Great Value
I like that it is light weight and it has a few color options. I could get a different color for each horse. I wish it had leg straps, the tail cord is not the best. The large tail flap is great. The sizing is a little on the generous size.

My new favorite fly sheet!
I recently purchased this fly sheet and I'm I did. I ended up getting two, one in pink and the other in blue, because the price on these flysheets are a steal. I usually buy the Amigo Horseware Ireland Bug Rug but when I saw that I could get two Smartpak fly sheets for less than the price of an Amigo Bug Rug I jumped on it. Another perk is that the colors are really cute. There's a small difference between the Amigo and Smartpak's flysheet; the Smartpak one doesn't have a neckpiece, which I'm ok with because my mare was getting her mane rubbed last summer. I'm not concerned about durability because the fabric between the two is very similar. I read some reviews that the sheets were oversized. I didn't have that issue, a 72 fit my 15h mare. It's a tiny bit snug around the shoulder but I'm curious to see if it will stretch with time. So far it's a cute, affordable, and breathable fly sheet!

This fly sheet is great quality ESPECIALLY for the price. It’s thin enough to not make me worry about the Florida heat so much with my mare. My favorite part is probably the double Velcro in the front. Tail flap is also a nice length.

Love the UV protection
Truthfully, I haven't had a chance to use it much now that it's cooler, but I have a white paint horse that gets sunburned. This is a nice, lightweight, sturdy fly sheet that has good UV protection, and at a decent price

Both of my warmbloods like this sheet.The one horse has a broad chest so it is a little tighter on him in the front.They seem to be liked by their wearers.Good value and made well.

Great Fly Sheet
I bought this fly sheet for my 3 year old. It’s really nice! Soft unlike others I’ve tried. Doesn’t cause rubs. Highly recommend! Thanks!
