Crisscross Surcingles, Leg Straps and Gussets
Crisscross surcingles pass under the belly for greater stability. Detachable elastic leg straps keep the sheet from turning, and come off for cleaning or replacement. The extended gussets let your horse move freely.

Enlarged Tail Cover
An enlarged tail cover acts as a better wind and rain barrier. 3M reflective detail makes your horse easier to pick out in low light.

VTEK® Wither Relief Fit Guide Designed with our VTEK® Wither Relief fit, this sheet is well suited for horses with an upright shoulder, a high, very well-defined wither of moderate length, a balanced topline from wither to croup, strong muscling, and heavier bone structure. 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

★★★★★
I love this blanket for so many reasons the cut out design does not rub out my horses mane, water proof, very durable, excellent fit, stays in place and is very breathable which is wonderful with the changing temps in the Northwest. This is my new go to blanket!
Horse K. — ARMORFlex® Challenger II owner ✓ Verified
★★★★★
Seems to be well put together. Love the tekno fleece. I have a tekno fleece blanket for each of my horses. Love them for rainy/sleety days when it s not quite cold enough for something heavier but needs more protection than a sheet.
Kayla — ARMORFlex® Challenger II owner ✓ Verified
★★★★★

Key benefits

VTEK® Pressure Free Wither Prevents Rubbing

Patented VTEK® Wither relief blankets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on high to moderate withers. They suit an upright shoulder and a high, very well-defined wither of moderate length, with a balanced topline from wither to croup. They include an extended drop to cover a deeper heartgirth and they are shaped with darts at the hips to give a more contoured fit around the rump. Extends 6 to 8 inches onto the mane.

If your horse has a naturally sloped shoulder and a moderate to low wither, try our Fitted V-Free® Pressure Free Wither version of this blanket.

If your horse carries its head upright, with a low to flat, shorter wither, try our Cutback version of this blanket.

If you are not sure which fit is best for your horse check out our "Which Blanket Fit is Right for My Horse" page.

Adjusta-Fit®- Adjusts for Your Perfect Fit!

From wide to narrow, high head carriage to low, the patented Adjusta-Fit® system customizes the neck opening to fit any horse width or head carriage. That is what lets one sheet fit both a broad-chested horse and a narrow one.

Tough, Armorflex Turnout Blankets are 5X More Waterproof than Competitive Brands.. Guaranteed!

The elements are no match for these blankets - water just beads up and rolls off. Coated with a special compound, our Challenger Blankets are 5X more waterproof than competitive brands.

A Waterproof Turnout Sheet Keeps Your Horse Dry and Protected from Wind

With no insulation, this waterproof turnout sheet is designed to keep your horse dry and protected from the wind and rain on wet days. Keeping your horse dry prevents chills from unpredicted drops in temperature, and provides protection from the moist conditions that cause skin infections like rain rot. Use our turnout sheets in any temperature to keep your horse dry, or if your horse is body-clipped or has a very short, thin coat, choose our turnout sheets for temperatures between 50 - 60 degrees F.

Waterproof, Windproof, & Breathable for Your Horse’s Comfort

All our turnout blankets and sheets are designed to keep your horse warm and dry. They’ll be comfortable even in fluctuating temperatures, rain, or snow with our waterproof, windproof, and breathable turnout blankets.

Criss-Cross Surcingle Stays in Place

Criss-cross surcingles adjust to keep the blanket from sliding side to side. Comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security. Brass plated hardware resists corrosion from moisture, manure and detergents.

For greater warmth and protection try our bellyband version of this blanket.

If you are not sure which blanket is best for your horse check out our "Blanketing 101" page.

Front Snaps for Easy On and Off

Snap front with Hook & Loop Closure allows you to adjust to the perfect amount of snugness at the front of the chest. Double snaps allow for easy on and off.

Large Tail Cover

tail cover provides additional protection from heavy wind and rain

Additional Freedom from a Better Gusset Design

Reinforced gussets extend higher and more forward to allow greater freedom of motion for the shoulder which prevents rubbing on shoulders.

Leg Straps Included!

Detachable Elastic leg straps help keep the sheet in place. Our leg straps adjust from 20" to 38" and will stretch as horse moves. Set at optimum snugness and use the double brass-plated snaps for easy on and off.

Guaranteed to Last

This sheet has been constructed with extra care and is warrantied for 5 years. Heavy-duty construction includes extra-wide bindings, and reinforced patches supporting leg strap hardware. Three heavy-duty dee rings connect the optional neck cover.

Reviews

The BEST WINTER TURNOUT BLANKETS !!!

"I have 2 active Arabians, and have 4 of these turnouts in different insulation weights. Both bellyband and surcingle styles fit great. These turnout blankets not only fit superbly (ability to adjust at the shoulder/neck is perfect), they also last a LONG time. I am still using one that I've had for over 16 winters- ( I use the older one on dry days and the new one when rain/snow is possible )"

KATHY M. (5/5)

Superior Quality

"I have 3 of these turnout sheets for each of my horses. They each have the blanket versions as well. They stand up well to our harsh New England climate. Even my very particular mare enjoys wearing them!"

Katherine K. (5/5)

Best fit for my old man!

"We love Schneider's horse wear! This cut fits my senior grade gelding very well and keeps him warm and comfortable when the weather gets too cold for him. Hes a stock type but Ive even found this cut to work great for my baroque and cob types too!"

Candi (5/5)

Super durable, gorgeous colour, and waterproof!!

"Loving our new blanket! It is a stunning raspberry colour that complements my black mare beautifully. It is extremely durable, and has put up with a lot of tree scrapes and horseplay. It has also been very waterproof even after a terrible all day downpour. The wither relief has been great for my mare as well. She has a very tough to fit, round shape, and this fit has worked really well for her, not causing rubs and she can easily stretch her neck down. Thank you!"

Barbara P. (5/5)

Great fit and feel

"Schneider draft turnouts were recommended when I got my first draft. I purchased a turnout sheet in summer because I hoped to get a summer deal. It was on sale but was still a very expensive blanket. I have high hopes that it will last a long time and have excellent waterproofing. Fits great, I am almost looking forward to winter now!"

Laura K. (5/5)

Love this Blanket

"I love the durability of this blanket. I also love the belly band. I truly think that it is so much warmer in our South Dakota winters. I love the different shapes and sizes of blankets that Schnieders offers to fit every horse shape and size and their guide to get the correct fit. :)"

Jennifer K. (5/5)

Great Blanket

"Great for high withered horses with big shoulders. This is the first blanket that doesn't press on my horse's withers or rub her shoulders. I highly recommend!"

CYNDI A. (5/5)

Big boy

"My gelding is very hard to find anything to fit him . . high withers, his neck ties in low, a deep heart girth and a short back at 16. 2 hands 1180 lbs and only 4 yrs old . . Armor flex Challenger 2 closed front fits him like it was custom made just for him . . he’s also rambunctious it’s built tough as well . I’ll buy another in the future . ."

Colette S. (5/5)

Excellent blanket and customer support

"This has been a great blanket for our Thoroughbred. Its exterior is great for the wind chills we get. The interior Velcro square came loose, and customer service was quick to respond and address the issue. Can’t say enough good things about this company."

Sarah K. (5/5)

Very Nice Blanket

"I was very happy with the blanket. Schneiders is great about standing behind their warrantees. Greta customer service!"
