No sweat under it, and a coat that shines
The 420-denier Dura-Nylon® shell is up to 75% stronger than other nylon fabrics and breathable, so a horse standing in does not sweat under it. The smooth nylon lining will not collect hair or shavings and leaves the coat dust-free and shiny.

The patented Adjusta-Fit® system lets you customize the neck opening to help fit different widths and head carriages, up to 2 inches.

Eats with its head down, and the blanket stays put
Deep-V closed front that lets the head drop to graze without pulling the blanket forward. A bellyband that closes over the back with hook and loop, with an elastic insert for lying down. Brass-plated hardware resists corrosion from fly spray and detergents. 2-year warranty.

Finding the Right Fit

Measure once, order once. Most horses nail their size on the first try.
Step 1: Gather your supplies
1
Gather Your SuppliesYou'll need a soft measuring tape. A second pair of hands helps keep it level.
Step 2: Measure chest to tail
2
Measure Chest to TailRun the tape from the center of the chest to the center of the tail. Keep it level.
Step 3: Note the measurement
3
Note the MeasurementRead the tape at the tail and record the number in inches.
Step 4: Round up if between sizes

Round Up If Between SizesAlways size up when you land between measurements.

V-Free® Fit Guide Designed with our V-Free® Wither Relief fit, this blanket is well suited for horses with a naturally sloped shoulder, moderately defined shorter wither, strong topline from wither to croup, and shorter coupled, well-muscled build. Measure chest to tail, along the side of the body across the widest part of the shoulder and hindquarters. If you land between sizes, size up — a snug fit causes pinching and rubs.

What Horse Owners Are Saying

★★★★★
Love this for layering. I have a show mare who lives out 24/7 and this is great for keeping a short coat in the winter time. Had it one season so far and it has held up fantastic and is easy to clean.
Jill T. — Dura-Nylon® owner ✓ Verified
★★★★★
Been an equine bodyworker for 20+ years. Recently purchased a Pony with a slightly higher/longer wither. The relief of tension in that area was quite noticeable by morning.
Jaclyn S. — Dura-Nylon® owner ✓ Verified
★★★★★
My favorite blanket for my mare. Runs a little small, closed front can be unforgiving size wise. It doesn't cut into her neck at her withers like most. Great value for this kind of quality!!
