UltraFlex® Faceless Full Zip Full Body Slicker

Poll to Tail With No Face, So There's Nothing at the Eyes or Ears to Rub

For horses that won't tolerate a hood: 8-ounce, 4-way stretch lycra that starts behind the ears and covers to the tail, with no ears, eye holes or face seams. It keeps braids and bands neat, trains a mane to lie down, and keeps the coat clean as a summer sheet or blanket liner.
1
Nothing on the face
The slicker begins behind the poll, so there are no ears to rub, no eye holes to slip and no face seams. Horses that fight a hood wear this one. The extra length in the neck keeps it in place.
2
Braids in, mane down, coat clean
The 8-ounce, 4-way stretch lycra holds braids and bands neat before a show and trains a mane to lie flat, and the full body keeps the coat clean as a light summer sheet or a blanket liner. UV protection greater than 95%.

3
A throat you can adjust
A 2-inch flat elastic band encased in the lycra closes at the throat with hook and loop, so you set the size; two fingers should fit under it. The full separating YKK zipper opens from chest to throat.
4
Stays in place, without tail rub
A wide bellyband with no-snag hook and loop moves with your horse and stays put. The split tail cover protects the tail from rubs and lets a high tail set move, and 1-inch elastic leg straps with chrome-plated snaps hold the back.

★★★★★
Love this mesh slicker, especially on hot days to protect from flies while keeping their coats clean. It's my "go to" for hot weather at horse shows to keep my horses clean!
Stephanie M. — UltraFlex® owner ✓ Verified
★★★★★
My horses are outside 24/7 so using this coupled with blanket during really cold weather. Material and zipper are sturdy and I will be able to leave it on at night since it's faceless.
Sharon — UltraFlex® owner ✓ Verified
★★★★★
Excellent hoodie for summer and hot weather neck protection when bands and braids are in place. I love the snug fit and light weight breathable mesh. Easy to wash and drys fast!!

Schneiders has done it again, with the well designed "Faceless Slicker." The innovative design eliminates the over the eyes and ears portion of the slicker and is much safer to use, while still providing all of the benefits of the hood. It stays up on the neck better than similar products and the fabric has basically eliminated the dreaded shoulder rubs. The hook and loop closure belly band is much better than plastic buckles as it never fails. The coat on my horses has never been better and the breathable fabric keeps them comfortable.

The new faceless slickers are just what we asked for. They fit well, keep manes nice without the worry of interference with eyes. They stay on straight and are easy to use.

Recently we tried out the UltraFlex® Faceless Zipper Slicker from Schneiders, and what a game changer. No more rubs around the eyes or pulling on their ears!” Stays in place great, we will only use these from now on.

I really like Schneider's Faceless Slinkies. My horses are a lot more comfortable in them and I have a lot less wear and tear on the slinkies now because the horses don't rub their faces as much.

Finally an answer to the forelock debacle! You get the extra layer of protection, keeps the horses clean, and no more slicker in the eyes or rubs at the ears! The New UltraFlex(R) Faceless Slicker is a home run.

Household detergent gets a turnout clean and quietly takes the waterproofing with it.

Reviews

Holds up great and excellent fit!

"This is my second purchase of this item. I use it on my warmblood every day from mid October to early March and they hold up VERY well!! Nice fit and stays in place. I only bought a second one so that I can have one for when I wash one. Highly recommend!"

— BETH B. (5/5)

The slicker is nice, but

"The slicker is nice, but it is a touch small for our yearling (cutting bred). The zipper and velcro seem pretty heavy-duty and the hood part fits well over her eyes and ears, The lycra, however, is already torn in a couple places and we've only been using it for a couple of weeks."

— TERESA D. (4/5)

Good quality but size needs adjusting

"The slinky i ordered seems to be of good quality but the sizing is way off. My mare is 14.2 and wears a 74" blanket and the Med was too small..ordered an XL bc they were out of Lg...the XL fits her body perfect but the neck closure at throat latch is a bit big."

— CJ (4/5)

UltraFlex® Pull-On Slicker Hood.

"Fits perfectly, excellent quality would definitely recommend this Hood."

— SHELLY S. (5/5)

So far so good

"True to size for my 16.2 skinny, but high withered WB. Velcro has held up well so far. Hasn't moved on him at all"

— Bonnie (5/5)

Go-to

"My family has only ever used Schneider’s slickers since before I was born. They’re the only ones with big eye holes so these are obviously a go-to for me. I like the color availability so I could match my new horse’s jammies to the rest of the barn. I will say though, this fabric seems different than what these used to be. I’d need to dig up my “old one” to be sure but it just doesn’t seem as silky smooth as they used to. Not a big deal but a tiny bit disappointing. The construction and fit is still Schneider’s classic quality though"

— KB (4/5)

Ultra Flex Stretchy Mesh slinky

"Purchased the Ultra Flex Mesh slinky for my APHA gelding. Fit excellent for my 16 hand gelding and has been durable, resistant to rips and tears so far. Easy to clean and the mesh is lightweight for warm evenings."

— AMANDA (5/5)

I've bought so many slinkies

"I've bought so many slinkies for horses that were hard on their clothes, and were having them mended within a month, but the Ultra Flex hold up to my toughest 1200 lb toddler!"

— JUNI F. (5/5)

"Fits my horse perfectly"

— Lila C. (5/5)
