We chose the Ripstop Nylon Mesh II as the best overall fly sheet for hot weather because it provides more airflow than its competitors. It's constructed from a 300D textured, shiny, reflective nylon mesh that allows the greatest airflow. The absence of side seams reduces the likelihood of rips or tears in those areas, and the contour back seam provides a better fit and increased comfort for the horse. It includes NEW reflective stripes for safety and SilverTek™ technology with antibacterial nylon lining on the chest, shoulders, and tail. It protects your horse from small to medium-sized insects, such as gnats and flies, while providing 40% UV protection.
The attached neck and bellyband closure ensures ultimate protection from their ears to tail. It's constructed from a 300D textured, shiny, reflective nylon mesh that allows for the greatest amount of airflow. The absence of side seams reduces the likelihood of rips or tears in those areas, and the contour back seam provides a better fit and increased comfort for the horse. It includes NEW reflective stripes for safety and SilverTek™ technology with antibacterial nylon lining on the chest, shoulders, and tail. It protects your horse from small to medium-sized insects, such as gnats and flies, while providing 40% UV protection.
This 'cooling' fly sheet is your go-to when the weather gets hot due to its advanced technical material that actually cools your horse. We blended our soft, opaque 300D polyester mesh with a combination of 45% polyester cooling yarn and 55% nylon cooling yarn to create a material that cools and inhibits sweating. The fly sheet cools off as your horse heats up, keeping your horse as comfortable as possible. It protects your horse from small to medium-sized bugs, such as gnats and flies, and offers exceptional 80% UV protection, with a fleece comfort strip at the wither and higher gussets for better mobility. With new reflective stripes for safety and added SilverTek™ technology, you'll love all the benefits this unique fly sheet offers.

Can Horses Wear Fly Sheets in Hot Weather?
Yes, horses can certainly wear fly sheets in the hotter months, but care must be taken. To protect horses against insects and UV radiation in hot weather, fly sheets with features such as mesh panels for maximum airflow are a great option. But a horse shouldn’t wear a sheet if temperatures become too high and air circulation is limited - this can trap sweat against a horse’s skin, leading to overheating and dehydration. Ultimately, fly sheets are an effective tool against bugs and UV rays when temperatures begin to rise, but you should always monitor your horse to make sure they don't overheat.
