No Pressure on a High Wither, and a Neck That Adjusts
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. The VTEK® wither extends in front of the wither to relieve pressure points, with an extended drop for a deeper heart girth and darts at the hip for a contoured line. The patented Adjusta-Fit® system then lets you customize the neck opening for different widths and head carriages.

Our Toughest Shell, and Stains Bead Off
Breathable, waterproof 1680D Ballistic Nylon, seam-sealed with no back or side seams and Teflon coated to repel 95% of water and oil-based stains. Thicker hardware that tests 70% stronger than the competition, to withstand the hard play your horse throws at it.

Stays Steady, Side to Side
The criss-cross surcingle adjusts to stop the sheet sliding side to side. T-post hardware with locking bands, plus detachable elastic leg straps for extra security.
4
Extra Protection at the Tail
The X-large tail cover adds protection from wind and harsh weather, rain or snow, to keep your horse as warm as possible. 3.5 inches longer than our other turnouts.

What Horse Owners Are Saying

★★★★★
Absolutely love my Armorflex Pro! We ended up buying another right after this one! They are definitely a quality product!! The durability to be able to hold up to two geldings playing all the time is awesome. We can always depend on great blankets from Schneiders!!!
★★★★★
The armorflex pro blanket is appropriate for the days when it is sunny and not too cold. It fits well and is very attractive. It has not been washed yet so I cannot comment on how well it maintains its waterproof but it has gotten mildy wet and my horse was dry. So far I am happy with the purchase.
★★★★★
This blanket fit my horse very well. The reflective trim makes locating him out in the pasture at night much easier than previously. I did notice the hardware that is used on this blanket is different than that which was used on blankets I have purchased in the past. Time will tell if it will last as long. Overall, great blanket and I would recommend without hesitation.

No More Rubbing: Choose the Fit That Matches Your Horse’s Build
Our ARMORFlex blankets come in one of these four fits. They differ at the shoulder and wither, which is exactly where a blanket rubs or pinches.
SelectedUpright shoulder, high well-defined wither
VTEK®

Sloped shoulder, moderately defined wither
V-Free®
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.

Key benefits
VTEK® Fit for Prominent Withers
This turnout sheet is tailored with our VTEK® Wither Relief design, offering a generous drop and contoured shape that extends 6–8 inches onto the mane. It relieves pressure on high withers and fits Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and horses with upright shoulder conformations with ease and precision.
Custom Fit with Adjusta-Fit®
No two horses are shaped exactly alike. That’s why our patented Adjusta-Fit® system allows you to modify the neck opening to match any horse’s width or head carriage. It’s a one-blanket solution for horses from stocky to narrow, giving you a personalized fit every time.
Built Tough for the Roughest Players
Constructed from 1680D Ballistic Nylon, this sheet is nearly indestructible. It’s made for the playful horse who runs, rolls, and tangles with pasture mates. The upgraded matte nickel hardware is 70% stronger than standard, while the smooth nylon lining prevents rubbing and keeps coats sleek.
Choose Your Insulation, This One’s the Sheet
This version features 0g insulation for rain protection without added warmth. It’s ideal as needed for rain or wind (50–65°F for a fully clipped horse), coat transitions, or layering. If you need more warmth, this style is also available in lightweight, medium weight, and heavyweight options.
Stay Dry No Matter What
The no back or side seams and Teflon coating make this blanket not just waterproof, but fast-drying and stain-resistant. It repels 95% of water and oil-based stains while drying 25–40% faster than untreated fabrics. Your horse stays dry and warm, no matter the weather.
Front Snaps for Quick Adjustments
Double chest snaps with a wide Hook & Loop panel offer fast on/off access while letting you adjust for a perfect fit. No gaping, no flapping, just a secure hold that adapts to your horse’s movement.
Gussets That Move With Your Horse
The reinforced gusset design allows for better shoulder mobility without causing pressure or rubbing. Cut higher and more forward, they’re ideal for turnout with full range of motion.
Surcingle That Won’t Slip
The self-centering criss-cross surcingle with locking bands ensures the blanket stays balanced and snug. Paired with elastic leg straps, it provides security during turnout without sacrificing comfort.
Tail-End Defense
This sheet features an oversized tail flap for added wind and rain protection. While the V-Free® version includes a detachable flap, this VTEK® model keeps the tail area covered and cozy.
Reflective for Safety at All Hours
This sheet doesn’t just work hard, it shines. Reflective trim is stitched into all bindings, straps, gussets, and tail covers, improving visibility at dusk, dawn, or in dim paddocks. A safety essential for late-day turnout.
Snug Straps, Flexible Fit
Adjustable from 20" to 38", the elastic leg straps stretch as your horse moves. Satin-finished chrome snaps make them quick to attach or remove while providing long-lasting hold and rust resistance.
A Sheet That Lasts a Lifetime
We don’t just promise quality, we back it for life. This blanket is protected by Schneiders’ lifetime warranty, ensuring durability, workmanship, and satisfaction. Invest once, enjoy forever.
How to Measure a Horse for a Blanket
The most accurate and easiest way to determine your horse’s blanket size is to measure along the side of their body, from chest to tail. First, stand the horse square on a flat surface. Measure from the center of the chest, straight back to the very edge of the tail. Make sure to measure along the widest part of their shoulder and hindquarters. The number of inches measured in this way is your horse’s size. Look on the size chart for any Schneiders blanket for this number of inches to order your horse’s perfect size.

Reviews
Repeat Buyer
"Best blanket ever. Durable. Warranty. Fit. Washable. There is a reason that I have 4 of these blankets. My only complaint is that I wish they had one or two other colors so I can tell the horses apart while wearing neck covers and blankets."
ARMORFlex Pro Vtek Sheet
"First time purchase from Schneiders. Bought on the recommendation of customer service after sending them photos of my guy. He’s a big boy, and I was having a difficult time finding something appropriate..Well, this sheet fits him like a glove, and the quality is exceptional!! I couldn’t be happier!"
It fits great, easy to
"It fits great, easy to adjust and the material is nice. The only problem I have is that it ripped quickly... I'm not sure the lifetime warranty is going to actually be a lifetime. I have a feeling it'll be 2 blankets. And for the price, I wouldn't purchase again."
Ok Blanket
"This blanket is not made as well as previous blankets purchased from Schneiders. Shortly after using it a leg strap came unstitched. I am not as happy with this product as I was with other blankets."
Fantastic blanket
"This is my all time favorite blanket. I keep coming back to it for my mare. She gets fungus easy under blankets & this has done well for her to avoid it through the winter months. I'll keep returning to this blanket."
"Great quality. look for thier sales."
Blanket tail flap review
"I received these blankets this past winter as warranty replacements for my previous 2, within a few wearings my gelding tore the tail flap off his sister's blanket so she went without the flap for the winter. The stitching on the Velcro is what tore. Other than that they seem more comfortable than the traditional blankets. They don't seem to overheat in them and they are good overall."
"high quality. watch for sales."
The best blanket money can buy!
"We have over 10 horses and we will always use these blankets! They hold up to everything and the customer experience is great! We've never had issues with these blankets and our guys can be pretty rough on blankets."
Armorflex Pro VTech
"We have tried several different blankets, from lightweight, midweight, senior fits and heavy weight all from Schneider over the years. This blanket by far is the best we have experienced. We currently have 5 lightweight and 5 midweight and when compared to previous ones it's simply superior. Temperature regulates great for our horses, never too hot and always warm and cozy when its really cold. One of our horses loves to tug and pull, but the Armorflex has held up to the wear and tear."
