Schneiders® ARMORFlex® Pro VTEK® Wither Relief Adjusta-Fit® Bellyband Turnout Blankets

Built for the Horse That's Hardest on Blankets

1680D Ballistic Nylon, hardware 70% stronger, and a seam-sealed Teflon-coated shell — cut to our VTEK® Wither Relief fit so the durability never comes at the cost of the fit.
1
VTEK® Wither Relief Fit + Adjusta-Fit®
Cut for an upright shoulder and a high, very well-defined wither. 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.
2
1680D Ballistic Nylon, Teflon Coated
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.

Nylon + Aridity™ Bamboo Charcoal Lining
A nylon lining combined with a bamboo charcoal Aridity™ inner layer for a breathable, smooth, comfortable feel. Exclusive to our Pro insulated blankets, Aridity™ is antibacterial and anti-microbial, absorbs odors, reduces static, and wicks moisture away from your horse's sensitive skin — scientifically proven to wick moisture 4x faster than any other fabric.
4
Bellyband Closure
The bellyband adds coverage against harsh weather, with hardware positioned to avoid rubbing when your horse lies down. Elastic inserts give as the horse moves; fit it snug and flush to the belly.

VTEK® Wither Relief Fit Guide Designed with our VTEK® Wither Relief fit, this blanket 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.

    VTEK® Pressure Free Wither Prevents Rubbing

    Our VTEK ® Wither Relief fit is designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on moderate to high withers. The upright shoulder and shape over the withers are designed to fit breeds with similar conformations as Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Appendix horses, or those with upright shoulder conformation. It includes an extended drop to cover a deeper heart girth, 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 with fleece placed where the mane meets the sheet, further preventing rubbing.

    Adjusta-Fit System: Customized Comfort

    From the widest warmbloods and stock horses to the narrowest thoroughbreds and Arabians, our original Adjusta-Fit system allows you to customize the neck opening to fit any horse. This unique feature allows you to fit any width or head carriage, saving money and time when blanketing your horses.

    The Most Durable Turnout Blanket Available

    Our ARMORFlex® Pro blanket is constructed from a breathable, waterproof, and most durable 1680D Ballistic Nylon material for the most playful horse that's constantly running, playing, and likely getting into blanket-tugging antics with other horses. The inside has a breathable nylon lining that keeps your horse’s coat soft, smooth, and shiny. The hardware, made from a branded matte finish nickel, is lightweight yet 70% stronger than what you find on standard blankets. With a lifetime guarantee, you’ll love this blanket for years to come.

    Warmth Levels for All Weather Types

    Choose the level of insulation that's right for your horse. These blankets are available in various warmth levels - from the lightest weight to heavyweight blankets. Whether you need a sheet for your short coat horse while weather transitions or a heavy-weight blanket for bitter winter days, the ARMORFlex® series has you covered.

    Improved Waterproofing That Keeps Your Horse Warm & Dry

    These blankets are extremely waterproof due to being seam-sealed with no back or side seams and being 3M Teflon coated, which adds longevity to the waterproofing, enhances durability, and provides stain resistance. These blankets feature top-tier technology in fabric treatment that doesn't interfere with the blanket's weight, look, feel, or breathability. 3M Teflon extends the blanket's life, helping repel 95% of water and oil-based stains with 25-40% faster drying times. Any water will simply bead up and roll off the material, maintaining your horse's warmth and comfort in practically any weather.

    Aridity™ Inner Lining: Moisture Wicking Pro

    The Aridity™ inner lining exclusive to our Warrior collection features a bamboo charcoal layer. This unique fabric is not only antibacterial and anti-microbial but also absorbs odors, effectively wicks moisture away from your horse's sensitive skin, and reduces static. It has been scientifically proven to wick moisture four times faster than any other fabric.

    An Open Front Design with Snaps

    The open front option features double front snaps with a new wider hook and loop closures that assist in keeping the open front from separating for a more secure fit. It allows for easy adjustment for the perfect amount of "snugness" at the front of the chest to alleviate gaps. Plus, the snaps make it easy to put on and remove.

    Better Gusset Design for Additional Freedom

    Our reinforced gussets extend higher and more forward, allowing greater freedom of motion for the shoulder, preventing rubbing on the shoulders. This innovative design offers additional freedom and comfort for your horse.

    Bellyband Closure Provides Greater Protection

    The bellyband closure option adds additional protection from harsh weather. Hardware is positioned to avoid rubbing or poking while your horse is lying down, and the t-post hardware on the bellyband closure includes locking bands. It incorporates elastic inserts for more give as the horse moves since the proper fit is with the bellyband snug and flush to the belly.

    An Extra Large Tail Cover for Extra Protection

    The extra large tail cover provides additional protection from wind and harsh weather, such as rain or snow, to keep your horse as warm as possible.

    Reflective Features for Visibility

    This blanket is designed with 3M reflective features on all the bindings, straps, closures, gusset, and tail cover for safety. Light from the moon or cars reflects off the binding, providing high visibility, making it easy to see your horse during dusk or night turnout.

    Leg Straps Included

    Included detachable elastic leg straps help keep the blanket properly positioned as your horse walks, rolls, or lies down. Adjustable from 20 to 38 inches, the straps stretch naturally with movement while the double locking slide system ensures an optimal fit. Satin-finished snaps make attaching and removing the straps quick, easy, and secure.

    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."

    Cassandra (5/5)

    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."

    Makayla C. (5/5)

    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."

    BOB D. (5/5)

    Heavy blanken

    "Best thing I bought my horse last year. It was very cold most the winter. With her a lot nsulin resistance, it is not important to keep his weight is n check at least he was warm."

    LAUREN M. (5/5)

    Great blanket!

    "Love this blanket! I got med weight which covers a lot of weather conditions and add a liner if it’s extremely cold. I do think it runs a smidge big. I was between sizes when measured and went up - should have went down."

    Amanda N. (5/5)

    Fantastic

    "These blankets are so great and versatile! I had one that had faulty Velcro and they replaced it no problem! 🥰🙌 Can’t beat this warranty! These are my go to favorites now! So heavy duty."

    Miranda M. (5/5)

    Very nice turnout

    "I bought this turnout for my Warlander gelding. The turnout fits well and is nice looking. So far it seems to hold up well, although its only been a month since I started to use it. The adjustable neck opening is a nice feature, which did improve the fit for my horse."

    Lorie D. (5/5)

    Great Favorite Blanket

    "This was my all time favorite blanket! Bought one few years ago but my mare suddenly had a growth spirt & grew out of it. Its been fantastic & the only one I want to purchase for her due to the charcoal & antibacterial properties it had in it. For whatever reason my mare gets some skin fungus issues randomly. This fixed that!"
