Lasted a week on an old man
This is lightweight but just simply not durable at all. My 24 year old Arabian is turned out with one other horse and she ignores him so no play between them. He came in one morning with it looking like this. There goes a lot of money.

Made it almost two months
I had hopes this would work. No such luck. The Velcro in front doesn't hold, and without adjustable straps in front, there's no way to adapt the fit. My horse is by himself, and within a couple of weeks the sheet had small tears, and now they are large rips.

Nice quality
I have 2 of the $160 weather beeta fly sheets. Compared to those this smartpak one is a fabulous deal. Really nice quality and not so long. The longer ones I had were getting ripped at the front side. Fit is true to size.

Super Bummed!
I was so bummed out & disappointed! This fly sheet fit well, and it could not have been cuter. Great coverage, absolutely wonderful color design, tail flap coverage would be great for a horse that is sensitive to flies or a horse with almost no tail like an Appaloosa. I was really excited about this product! It looks super cute on my mare. She’s 26 with navicular, & she doesn’t move very fast/much. So she isn’t very hard on her fly sheets at all. But this one got destroyed in less than a week. :( She has had much cheaper fly sheets in the past that have lasted her a lot longer. The last one I bought her was used for two summers in a row, and it’s still in better shape than the Smartpak one is now after less than a week of wear. (and that one was $20 cheaper) It was so cute, I was so hopeful. But I’m so disappointed!

Best value fly sheet ever
I am not a big fan of fly sheets for all the reasons other reviewers have discussed at length. I bought one of these for a pony with a severe allergy to insect bites as a last ditch effort to try to keep her hair on this summer. I was so impressed that I bought 2 more & the difference in my ponies is pretty astonishing. So far they have been amazing protection from deer flies, mosquitoes, black flies, no-see-ums, etc. So far, manes & tails intact & the long drapes around the legs have protected their bellies. The ponies have rolled, rubbed, scratched each other, & moved around as always. The sheets have stayed in place & so far have shown no rips. And when I take them off in the stalls in the morning, the ponies are calm & notching themselves to pieces. Yes, the sheets pill, yes, they stretch, there is a gap at the chest, & they are definitely showing signs of wear, but if they make it through this one season they will have b been the best investment I could have made in my ponies' health & comfort. AND they're made from recycled materials! Well done! We need more of this consciousness! Thanks.

Simply not durable enough
I really wanted to love this - Smartpak gear is usually fantastic and every other blanket my horse has is Smartpak. This fit well, looked nice, and did it's job, but I've had it for a month and it is already significantly ripped. Some of it is ripping of the mesh from my horse being a horse, but what concerns me more is the mesh ripping around the fittings on the chest and neck. My horse is not tough on his blankets; his previous fly sheet (a Kensington) has lasted two seasons and is not ripped, but I wanted to upgrade to something with a neck.

Love it! Just a little long
I ordered a 75 for my smaller ottb mare who normally always fits a 75 but this one is just slightly too long and collects a large amount of poop stains in the tail region. But overall a wonderful fly sheet and am happy with it! Not hot at all!!!

Great fly sheet but does run a tad large
I have been using this fly sheet for a couple weeks and it has held up great. So far it isn't too hot for my horse (beginning of humid KY summer) but he does only go out at night. I ordered an 81" for my 16.3h TB gelding, which is what he usually wears, but this sheet is a little big on him and the tail flap tends to drag the rest of the blanket back and gets a bit tight on his chest. Other than that slight issue it's a good quality fly sheet and I love the fact that it is made of out earth friendly materials!

Tears easily, shifts on horse
I bought this and have been using for about a month. the fabric is breathable, but tears easily for those rough players. It also shifts dramatically to one side no matter how I rig it. Had another SmartPak flysheet for my other guy and it was much better.

Looks great but pulls back tight
This sheet looks and feels great. When I put it on it appeared to fit well, but as she was out walking around in pasture it would pull back tight on her and then she would act like she couldn’t put her head down to eat. It would also be full of static. I tried it a few times spraying conditioner on her before the fly sheet but it would still pull back tight and be full of static.
