The Dura-Tech® Full Zip Slicker Hood is a lightweight, economical option for keeping your horse clean, polished, and show-ready during warmer weather. Made from 6.5 oz. four-way stretch spandex, it offers a flexible, close fit that helps lay the mane flat, keep braids and bands neat, and protect the face and neck from dust and dirt. The no-center-seam face design and large eye openings enhance comfort, while the fleece-lined noseband adds softness around the muzzle. A full front zipper makes it easy to put on and remove, and the adjustable elastic girth helps keep the hood securely in place.

"I bought this slicker for my gigantic warmblood gelding. The full zipper opening makes it so much easier to get it on him vs trying to pull in on with his head going through an opening. This is my 2nd full zip slicker. The first on fit great, quality material, but the zipper failed. Fingers crossed it won’t happen to this one!"
"We purchased the Dura-Tech full zip slicker hood for our daughter’s horse and it’s perfect! The zipper is SOLID and the sizing was spot on. It has been an integral part of our show preparation and we are grateful for the reasonable pricing. Would recommend highly!"
"This is an okay slicker. I use it at shows to keep the braids in overnight. My only complaints are: 1. It is a little warm - wish the fabric was a bit lighter so it my horse could stay cooler. 2. The zipper can be a bit tough to work and I'm not sure how long it will stay working."
"Hi quality and heavy duty zipper. Cheaper brands the zippers ate substandard and break after being used once. This is the only hood you should buy!"
"Excellent quality and Schneider folks are always fabulous to work with. Online ordering is so easy."
"I love the Dura-Tech Slicker Hood I bought for my horse Kat! It’s easy to put on and I love the Full Zipper!"
"Bought 4 dura tech hoods, with custom name embroidery, 3 zippers tore in two within first week in a turnout setting with pipe fencing"
"Best place around to order and arrive early"
"This is my second one. Have never been able to figure out the ones with no zipper lol. These work really well!"
