When the gnats are out, a fly sheet is only as good as its weave. The Mosquito Mesh® II is an extra-fine 350-denier 'window screen' nylon mesh that keeps out even the tiniest gnats, midges and no-see-ums while still letting the air move, our Best rating for small and medium insects and for airflow. It carries 40% UV protection, SilverTek® antibacterial lining on the chest, shoulders and tail flap, and reflective stripes for dawn and dusk turnout. 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 attached neck cover adds coverage from ears to tail, with a stretch seam at the neck junction that moves with your horse through grazing and drinking. The patented Adjusta-Fit® system lets you customize the neck opening to help fit different widths and head carriages. An open front with two buckles and a bellyband that wraps the underside and closes over the back with hook and loop. Blue, sizes 68 to 86 in even sizes; see the chart.

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.

Our Attached Neck VTEK® Wither Relief fly sheets fit the same as our VTEK® Wither Relief sheets but come integrated with an attached neck cover. It’s designed to prevent rubbing and relieves pressure on moderate to high-withered horses, allowing full protection from ears to tail. The neck cover is attached with a 15oz lycra that stretches as the horse puts their head down to graze. This stretchy panel prevents the rest of the sheet from slipping forward and maintains coverage no matter the conditions.
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.
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.

"I carefully measured my horse according to the sizing instructions, but this sheet still does not fit properly through her large shoulders. I am also disappointed with the overall quality. I have owned older Schneiders fly sheet styles that fit better, felt more durable, and were much better made. Unfortunately, this newer style does not compare, and I would not purchase it again."
"I love this fly sheet, it has protection for my horses shoulder, is lightweight and breathable, yet durable and mostly rip proof. It fits super well, and has many adjusments to make for the perfect fit and best feature is the way the neck piece is attached it is a strethy material that allows for movement but without exposing any area to flies, great - great sheet!"
"The coverage is perfect it's light weight for the summer heat and she seems to feel much better not having hives on her! She looks stunning in the fly sheet and seems to really enjoy not being so attacked by flys and mosquitos anymore."
"Great product light weight for the hot summer great coverage nice fit"
"I got this for my mare that has severe allergies. I needed something that would give full coverage but that she could wear all summer long without overheating. This fly sheet is pretty lightweight considering how much coverage it gives! The belly band helps tremendously with that. I've struggled with hoods falling down over time, but not with this product! Highly recommend this product."
"With the adjustable options, I was able to get a perfect fit for my large warmblood. It is very well-made and can withstand the rolling and play from a 2 year old."
"The fly sheets I received were not the ones in the picture. The neck design was good, the mane stayed intact. I hate the belly band. The strap set up is cumbersome and it sits so far back, the gelding pee on it. The bellyband shown in the picture is much better."
"This is the second time I've purchased this fly sheet. It's tough and holds up for quite a while to rough play. I have a 16-2 percheron/standardbred mare that is allergic to many fling bugs. She learned last year, with our first one, that this helped to keep bugs off of her. She seemed to actually like wearing it for the relief it gave her. The only thing I would change is to make the fabric that holds the neck piece to the body a little stronger. That part ripped first and I had to mend it. Otherwise, it's a great sheet."
"Very expensive with incredibly cheap hardware"
"fits great, well constructed, has gaurentee and expect to serve well!"
