Nice fit and quality
This is a well made item that fits as expected compared to other Rambo, Rhino & Amigo items. It works well as a physical barrier but flies are landing on it while it's hanging in the barn so don't believe the embedded repellent is effective; thus, the 4 stars.

Great fly sheet but...
Let me start by saying my boy is REALLY hard on blankets and this fly sheet was no exception. Rambo seems to be the only brand that he can mess up but not destroy! Day one he had the liner ripped at his shoulder but the sheet itself was still in one piece. He's worn it for a week now and the liner on both shoulders is now in tatters. Again, the sheet itself is still holding. I wish the front Velcro closure was a bit stronger like the blankets with that little extra tab that helps hold it together but beggars can't be choosers. I don't notice a significant difference between a normal fly sheet and this one with the No-Fly Zone.

Least indestructible on the market
I have a mare with Sweet Itch an allergy to midges. She loves to rub against trees etc. This sheet lasts almost an entire Texas summer, others last a week or two at best! Her allergies are minimized with this product and ample use of fly spray! Expensive but worth the extra.

So far, so good...
Bought this recently as an upgrade from the protector I was borrowing. I do not notice a different in flies with the added No Fly Zone. Great sheet. Holding up well for daily rolling & weekly washing. Stays in place. Soft & hasn't rubbed. I can't comment on durability as I've only had it a few weeks. So far, so good!

Rambo Flybuster
Excellent product. Really works and is not hot.
I spray a bit around my horses ears and upper neck. It is so nice to remove the suit after dark and he has zero bites!
Gunsmoke measured 78 and i bought size 75. He is a stout 1200 pound quarterhorse.

Fly Buster Vamoose
Fits great, looks great and wears well. My mare has had it on for about a month.
This sheet is tough. The only negative is that it wore the hair off on either side in the shoulders of my mare. So I sewed a a lining on either side.

Outstanding Fly Prevention Blanket
NO TAIL SWISHING! My horses' tails are still! The best thing about this blanket are NO WELTS on their privates or thin skinned tummy parts! Yay! This blanket provides outstanding coverage of neck, belly and upper legs. This is a well advised investment! I do recommend this blanket.
Some improvements:
*The tail band is too low and my horses' tails are coming out of the band. Without their tails in the band, the blanket can fly up their haunches.
*Once dirty, this blanket does not come clean. And washing the blanket is not a good idea as it removes the fly repellant in the fabric.
*The weave of this blanket seems to be pretty tough as my horses roll a lot and it has stood up to their antics but the down side is that it is rubbing the hair of their hips and the top of their haunches. The nice fabric they have sewn on the inside of the shoulders should go on the hip joints and the top of the butt too.
*The most difficult part of this blanket is getting the belly band to stay. The velcro closure does not have enough strength to keep the belly band in place after rolling.
I hope this has been helpful!

Rambo Fly Buster Vamoose with No-Fly Zone
I just moved to South Carolina from California. My horse was getting eaten up by the bugs here. This fly sheet has great coverage and the material is light and doesn't cling to her when she sweats under it. They run large - I had to go down a size for my horse.

My horses are drenched in sweat when they have these on. What was Rambo thinking. Only used them a couple of time then tossed them.

My horses and I love this fly sheet.
I have tried other fly sheets but this one fits best and stays in place. My mare mare developed a fly allergy and last year rubbed out her mane and the top half of her tail and big spots all over her body. This is the only thing that has worked for her. Liked it so well I bought one for my gelding as well.

Not as tough as I'd hoped
I was really excited to buy this fly sheet based on other reviews, and always turn to Rambo for durability. My horse wears a 69" in his winter Rambo blankets, which held up perfectly through the winter and a wash. The reviews about sizing are correct--definitely, definitely size down. I ordered the 66" in this sheet for my horse and it still even looks a bit big.
That said, my horse has treated his other turnout blankets well so I was shocked when this fly sheet started to show wear after only a week of 24/7 use. The mesh had snagged in different parts, causing me to cut the excess that had begun to hang down in strings. He's a stall horse with regular turnout, but he doesn't get turned out with other horses so I can't even blame bites as the reason the blanket is wearing down so quickly. At this rate I would be surprised if it made it through the whole summer, which is disappointing. I'm keeping it on my boy for as long as it lasts.
Also, if you have a white or gray horse, be advised that the "oatmeal" color does look pink when placed on horses with those colors. I also don't believe in the fly repellant since flies were landing right on the sheet the second I took it out of the bag and put it on my horse. I guess a pro is that a tick landed on the sheet as well, but couldn't bite his way through. I've noticed a reduction in bites under the area the fly sheet covers, which is good, I just don't see it lasting long.

Love this sheet and very durable too!
I purchased this sheet about 2 months ago for one of our horses who has an extreme alergy to bug bites. He wears this sheet 24/7 in a pasture and it has held its own. No sweet itch at all and he seems to be bite free. i love the leg coverage as well. Vey durable and UV protection as well. It is a bit pricier but well worth the money. I do wish there was adjustable straps that fasten the front of the chest though. Great product.

Love it!
So far, it's great. My Haflinger mare has been wearing this pretty much 24/7 for the past two weeks. I've always had problems with shoulder rubs with other blankets. NO RUBS!!!!! The sheet doesn't shift, it stays in place great. And the flies are most definitely staying away. Appears to be high quality, and I'm hopeful it will be durable and last multiple seasons.

Uh Oh Blanket Burn
Admittedly my girl has a sensitive coat. But after only one week this is the result (see photos). It does seem like a lighter breezier flysheet than some of the others that feel like they trap the heat .. but it's back to Weatherbeeta which doesn't create any problems.

Excellent result!
My gelding is very allergic to all insects and this product has been great. He is now taking half the medication he did and I'm sure we will be able to reduce it more. He is comfortable and happy now. I also see that it is not hot to wear-no sweating under the sheet.

Needs some improvement
This is a great sheet in concept, however, the mesh material is very course, and it goes right through the protective lining at the shoulders and rubs the shoulders pretty badly. I like the material for durability. It just needs better lining to protect against rubbing. I sent this sheet back for a SmartPak fly sheet.

Did not repel flies
Bought this because it was a Rambo and was excited about the insect repellent feather. Well, I put it on my gelding, and the flies landed right on the nice clean new sheet. Did not repel them in the least. Very disappointed.

Excellent product!
Based on reviews, went for the top-of-the-line sheet for fly control, and we're so glad that we did! Our horses are tough on anything on them, and these sheets withstand lots of abuse. Even though we're in a hot climate our horses are kept cool and free of biting flies. They fit well, although we went a few inches smaller than the usual blanket size due to customer comments. Example: 78" became 75" and fit great. Keep this in mind when ordering. I would definitely recommend this product if you want something that's going to last.

Nice fly sheet but a little pricey
I was a little concerned about no leg straps, but my horse has been rolling in it daily and it has yet to really shift. He is very sensitive (nasty raised welts) to one of the resident species of fly that we have. I used to see flys all over his Hugs brand sheet and I have only seen 1 or 2 land on this sheet and only when it is hanging on the front of his stall. It hasn't been washed yet, so I can not speak to that aspect. Also NO shoulder rubs so far. I have stuck with the Hugs brand as it was the only "cut" of blanket that would not give him rubs. He normally wears an 84 in Hugs and I had to size down to an 81 for this one. The first and last belly straps are sized WAY too long...had to throw 2 knots in both of them to get them close to being right.

Runs large, too hot for summer.
For the two weeks I was able to use it it held up fine and seemed to do well repelling insects. However, it was way too hot to leave on my guy once it got above the mid 70s. This sheet also runs large. My horse is a true 82" and the sheet that fit was 78".

Very happy with this product
I bought this 2 weeks ago. The fit was perfect. As suggested, I subtracted 4" from what she measured . My horse, Holly looks very spiffy in her fly sheet ! It keeps the flies and mosquitoes off of her. I am very pleased.

Love This FlySheet!
Although many said to order a size smaller, i went with my horses usual size and it fits perfectly. It is a tad big but any smaller would be to tight. I LOVE this sheet. The lining keeps it from rubbing and the coverage is awesome! My only complaint is the belly band is tight if i reach it to the velcro. My horse is really not heavy but is a 16h built quarter horse. Luckily the second piece of band holds the unsecured one in place. Happy i spent the extra on the sheet!

So far, so good!
I have only used this product for a few days. My horse measures an 80/81 (and wears that size in all sheets/blankets) but I found this product to run LARGE. The 81 was absolutely HUGE on him. I exchanged it for a 78 and it fits PERFECTLY. MY paint gelding has light skin so I bought it primarily for sun protection but have already noticed a difference in the number of bug bites he has received. I will follow-up with a rating on durability after the summer.

Great fly sheet but it didn't fit
This a great quality sheet and i really wish it had fit my horse. They do run big! My horse normally wears a 78 but the size 78 was way too big and baggy. The 75 was just a little too small.

Love it but size down
I am loving this fly sheet/neck cover, my horse has sweet itch so he lives in this sheet now with the bug comeing full force! And I can definitely tell a difference in the amount of fly spray I have had to use this season (rather than last year when I only had a regular fly sheet without insect shield) and I know he appreciates it because when it is off for rideing he gets cranky kicking at the bugs, but when it is on he haven't even been swishing his tail pretty much at all. Oh and definitely size down if your horse has a narrower build.
