Key benefits
The Fly Sheet With the BEST Insect Protection AND Airflow
This fly sheet is the best for insect protection and airflow. The 350D extra fine “window screen” nylon mesh protects against the widest range of biting insects, such as tiny gnats, mosquitos, and flies. It’s extremely breathable and stays cool in direct sunlight, providing 40% UV protection. The fabric withstands playful turnout, making this perfect for your horse to wear all summer with a 2-year warranty!
All About the Cutback Wither Fit
Our Cutback Wither fly sheets cut away at the withers to provide a rub-free fit for horses with high-head carriage and a lower wither. The larger neck opening and sloped net line cut back for the withers make this the perfect design for Arabians, Fresians, Saddlebreds, and Tennessee Walkers.
Adjusta-Fit® Your Sheet for the Perfect Fit!
From the widest Warmblood to the narrowest Thoroughbred, our original Adjusta-Fit system allows you to customize the fit of the neck opening to fit any horse. Whether your horse is wide or narrow or has a high or low head carriage doesn't matter. The Adjust-Fit® feature runs along the neckline of the blanket, so when in use, it lifts the front chest, pulling the blanket up into the base of the neck. It allows you to fit any width or head carriage, saving money and time when blanketing your horses.
An Open Front Design with Front Snaps for Easy On and Off
The open front option features double front snaps with new and improved wider hook and loop closures, allowing you to easily adjust the fly sheet for the perfect amount of “snugness” at the front of the chest. Plus, the snaps make it easy to put on and remove.
SilverTek® Lined Chest, Shoulders, and Tail
A breathable 70D SilverTek® Nylon lining has been included on the front chest, shoulders, and tail flap. This technology has proven antibacterial properties that reduce rubs, odor, and irritations that may cause your horse discomfort during the hot summer months. When it comes into contact with bacteria or other microorganisms, the silver ions are released from the fabric, distributing their cell membranes and interfering with their metabolic processes. As a result, growth is inhibited, reducing the number of bacteria on the fabric’s surface. This keeps your horse healthier and the fabric cleaner, even after extended use and wear.
Better Gusset Design for Additional Freedom
The reinforced gussets extend higher and more forward to allow a greater range of motion when your horse gets up from lying down, walking, or playing in the pasture.
Adjustable Surcingle for a Secure Fit
The criss-cross surcingle closure option adjusts to keep the fly sheet from sliding side to side. Brass-plated hardware comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.
SilverTek® Lined Extra-Large Tail Cover for Extra Protection
The extra-large tail cover protects from flies attacking the sensitive area underneath the tail. The added SilverTek® lining reduces potential hair breakage, keeping your horse’s tail fuller and looking better!
Reflective Stripes for Added Safety
For extra safety precautions, we’ve added highly visible reflective stripes on the flanks and tail for extra visibility in low light and night turnout.
Leg Straps Included
Set the sheet at the optimum snugness with the included detachable elastic leg straps that help keep the sheet in place. They adjust from 20" to 38" and stretch as the horse moves with double brass-plated snaps for easy on and off.
2-Year Limited Warranty
This fly sheet has been constructed with extra care and is under warranty for two years. Straps, surcingles, assembly, and hardware are guaranteed for the warranty term.

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
Belly band doesn’t fit
"I should have read all the negative reviews. Seems like they are aware of the belly band issue. I have no problems with the fit of other blankets in her usual size but this one doesn’t let me close the belly band even fully extended. My horse is not overweight. Company won’t let me return it because I wrote on the tag, even though the blanket is unused and clean. Very disappointing."
Review Sheet
"I am satisfied with my mesh blanket. I have ordered them before, they seem to make my horse a little cooler. My horse destroyed it within two days and she is in a pasture by her self, but I had it replaced and I was really satisfied, even with the new color. It is good quality."
Working well on hard-to-fit mare
"Finding a good fit for my 15. 1 hand Oldenburg mare who's built a bit like a Quarter horse is challenging. Blankets and sheets tend to ride back and pull hard across her chest. Her previous Weatherbeeta sheet fit well otherwise but was super tight right where her neck met her shoulder and it put a lot of pressure there. That can't be comfortable or healthy! Two things that could be improved: The velcro at the front of the chest is a little small or wimpy. Sometimes when the staff at the boarding barn put it on and don't line it up very carefully, it comes undone right away. Second, the tail cover sticks straight out the back so it's a little hard to know if it's providing much protection. It's just a bit awkward. Final note: there are a lot of metal rings on this setup that jingle when she walks. Not necessarily a problem but just something to know."
Mosquito Mesh II Fly Sheet
"The Mosquito Mesh II Fly Sheet is the best fly sheet on the market. It is lightweight, very durable, and gives great protection from insects. We tried many different brands of fly sheets and hands down this is my favorite."
Awesome sheet
"I have a gelding very sensitive to bugs, especially mosquitoes. And unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control, we’re going to be moving from the best, lovely dry climate to a swampy mess of humidity and bugs. So I wanted to find him something before we get there. I love the fit, true to size, and it’s the first fly sheet that I’ve seen that I feel confident he’s not going to overheat in. On top of the fit, fabric, and construction I think it looks pretty nice too. Only thing I find odd is the tail cover. It’s huge. And it poofs out so far in the back that it just seems like a waste of time ; bugs can easily still be up in his tail. Maybe a little less fabric is needed for that… idk?? Looks like he’s got an awning off the back of his butt. Not sure what the design was supposed to do but besides that the sheet is great."
"Finally, an effective fly sheet that is light-weight. Great fit, true to size. The adjustable front buckles easily accomodate any type of neck-sternum thickness."
Love them ! I have
"Love them ! I have two of them ! If I could afford three more for the rest of my herd o will get same kind!"
Mesh Sheet
"Love this sheet and the fit is amazing! Great for keeping out even the midgets and the mosquitos and light fabric moves to allow air flow."
Sturdy But Doesn’t Fit Stocky Horses
"I called Schneiders to discuss if they made a fly sheet to fit a Connemara that was built like the older lines of quarter horses. In essence a stocky horse. So I purchased the sheet and hood last summer and the velcro will not stay together and the sheet slides back and velcro comes apart on top of putting pressure on his shoulders when moving and grazing. In addition when it comes apart the rough part of the velcro rubs my horse’s shoulder. So I tried using the 1st D ring but it was not an option as the sheet would remain open under neck if it was used. The sheet is very sturdy but doesn’t fit a stocky horse unless he’s a statute that never moves. Also the velcro on the hood will not stay closed either when hooked to a halter or not. If I buy a larger size I feel it would just slide back and again be in the same situation. Disappointed for sure as I have always liked Schneider’s products."
