Schneiders® Mosquito Mesh® II VTEK® Adjusta-Fit® Bellyband Fly Sheet

Why It Works When Others Don't

Open-weave soft mesh lets gnats bite through and sags onto skin. Mosquito Mesh® II's rigid 350D window-screen nylon stands off the body — airflow stays open, gnats stay out.
1
350D Window-Screen Nylon
Weave tight enough to block gnats and no-see-ums, yet rigid enough to stand off the coat — creating an air gap instead of a sauna.
2
VTEK® Wither Relief + Adjusta-Fit®
The VTEK® wither design extends in front of the wither for complete coverage and helps relieve pressure points on high-withered horses with an upright shoulder. Our original Adjusta-Fit® system allows you to customize the fit of the neck opening to your horse. Adjust-Fit® runs along the neckline of the sheet, so when in use, it lifts the front chest, pulling the blanket up into the base of the neck.
3
SilverTek® Antibacterial Lining
Chest, shoulder, and tail-flap lining resists bacterial buildup at the friction points where sweet-itch horses rub hardest and sweat most.
4
Bellyband
Bellyband moves with the horse through rolling and grazing without the fixed-strap gap that lets flies crawl underneath on round-barreled horses.

My horse has severe sweet itch and I have bought EVERY fly sheet ever made. This is the BEST fly sheet. My horse has had no hives or bumps since wearing this product. Three months of constant wear and not a pinhole tear yet.
Linda M. — Sweet Itch Horse Owner ✓ Verified

This sheet has been a godsend. He rubbed his mane out last summer, but this year he has been rub free — not even itchy. It is really durable and surprisingly cool. Air seems to flow right through it.

It's 110° in the southwest desert. This is the only fly sheet breathable enough that my horses can wear it all summer long, even in crazy hot temperatures. I won't use anything else!

All About the VTEK® Wither Relief Fit

Our VTEK ® Wither Relief fly sheets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on moderate to high withers. The upright shoulder and shape over the withers are designed to fit Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Appendix horses, or those with upright shoulder conformation. It includes 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 with fleece placed where the mane meets the sheet, further preventing rubbing.

Fly Fit Guide

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.

Bellyband Closure for Better Protection

The bellyband closure option protects from flies and midges biting along the sensitive underbelly. Brass-plated 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 and incorporates elastic inserts for more give as the horse moves since the proper fit is with the bellyband snug and flush to the belly.

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.

Reviews

Cutback Fly Sheet

"This is the third fly sheet like this that I have purchased. They are absolutely the best for keeping all bugs away from the horses. The fit is perfect for my Saddlebreds. The only complaint I have is that the tail cover is rubbing one horses tail quite badly. Other than this, the sheets are perfect!!"

Sandra F. (5/5)

Best fly sheet around

"This flysheet is strong but light; and the features really help fit my Paso Fino. No other brand has worked as well as this one! And if there’s any issue, this company stands behind their product."

Heidi Y. (5/5)

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."

J G. (1/5)

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."

Sheri F. (5/5)

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."

Virginia D. (5/5)

Nice

"Fits well and keeps the biting bugs off my gelding. However, for the price I would expect better snaps. Not even one season of use and the snaps are corroding and/or rusting. Very dissappointed in this."

Tammy L. (4/5)

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."

Jan K. (5/5)

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."

KB (4/5)

"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."

Carla (5/5)

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!"
