Schneiders® Mosquito Mesh® II Attached Neck V-Free® Adjusta-Fit® Bellyband Fly Sheet

Keeps out the tiniest gnats, and still lets the air through

An extra-fine 350-denier 'window screen' nylon mesh that keeps out even the tiniest gnats and midges while letting the air move, our Best rating for both. SilverTek® antibacterial lining where the sheet touches, reflective stripes, 40% UV protection and a 2-year warranty. Attached Neck V-Free® fit, an open front with two buckles and a bellyband that wraps the underside and closes over the back with hook and loop. Blue, Gray, sizes 70 to 86 in even sizes; see the chart.
1
Even the tiniest gnats stay out
The 350-denier nylon is woven as fine as a window screen, so no-see-ums, gnats and midges cannot get through to the skin and your horse grazes without the constant twitching. Our Best rating for gnats and midges, mosquitoes, and stable and deer flies; Better for horse flies.
2
Air keeps moving underneath
The fine weave still carries our Best airflow rating, so on a hot afternoon the sheet keeps the bugs off without trapping heat against the coat. 40% UV protection takes the edge off the sun on a pale or clipped horse.

Attached Neck V-Free® fit: no pressure on the wither, adjustable at the chest
Designed with our V-Free® Wither Relief fit, this sheet is well suited for horses with a naturally sloped shoulder, moderately defined shorter wither, strong topline from wither to croup, and shorter coupled, well-muscled build. 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.

Kind where it touches, seen after dark
SilverTek® antibacterial nylon lines the chest, shoulders and tail flap, the places a sheet rubs, so the skin under it stays healthier through a long fly season. Reflective stripes catch headlights at dawn and dusk turnout. An open front with two buckles and a bellyband that wraps the underside and closes over the back with hook and loop. Backed by a 2-year warranty.

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.

All About the Attached Neck V-Free® Wither Relief Fit

Our Attached Neck V-Free® Wither Relief fly sheets fit the same as our V-Free® Wither Relief sheets but come integrated with an attached neck cover. It’s designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on low to moderate-withered horses. With the larger neck opening and sloped neckline that covers the shoulders, this fit is designed specifically for Arabians, Quarter Horses, Stock breed horses, or those with sloped shoulder conformation. 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.

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

Excellent fly sheet!

"I absolutely LOVE this fly sheet for a number of reasons! I tried 4 previous sheets from other companies this summer, none of which fit my horse properly or gave her enough ventilation. This sheet is of incredible quality and I know will last a very long time. It is breathable which is awesome for my girl as it keeps her protected from the bugs and cool. Absolutely LOVE the belly band closure which makes so much sense for a fly sheet. The best part about it is the adjustable fit. My horse is typically very challenging to fit because of her high withers and wide shoulders, but this fits her absolutely perfectly. I love that adjustafit feature, so much so that I also purchased a sheet and blanket for her as I know they will also be excellent fits. Forever now a Schneiders customer! Love the customer service and quality of products."

— Ava L. (5/5)

Bug free and well fitting

"This fits my big Appendix mare and her neck and shoulders well, no rubs. She gets welts from bug bites and this helps significantly. No welts where she is covered. Very lightweight, great color. No rips so far. I would love if the tail flap was almost twice as long."

— JENNIE L. (5/5)

Straps need work

"Good material, but bellly band straps way too short. I let mine out all the way and it's a snug fit. Almost like a cinch or girth. I bought a 72". Fits fine in length. I have a 14.2 senior that runs on the slim side. No way does this fit a rounder horse. I tried it on with a sheet but then took the sheet off after verifying length and to fasten straps. With the sheet on I am quite sure I would not have been able to get the straps fastened at all. Plus the leg straps have 2 buckles to adjust, so it's a pain. So buyer beware not sure what you are to do about this but letting you know."

This is by far the

"This is by far the best fly sheet combo I have purchased. Very lightweight and I love the belly band . The neck piece is fastened so well and the coverage is perfect. It also washes up very well. 5 stars for me on this one !"

100000/10 recommend

"Fits so good, is breathable in the hot Texas heat. Doesn’t rub shoulders or the mane out. And it’s pretty to look at!"

— Jayde O. (5/5)

Love these. Bought 2 last

"Love these. Bought 2 last year and it really allows the mares to stay outside without the fly aggravation. Great quality. The belly band provides comfort for the flies that get under them. The fine mesh allows air flow and keeps the hair coat from getting fried. Bought 4 more for the broodmares this year"

— DONNA W. (5/5)

Thoughtful Design

"I appreciate how well thought out this flysheet design is. There is lining in all of the right places to prevent rubs. I am not worried about the neck cover causing mane loss. The mesh provides good coverage from flys and mosquitos. I live in the southeast and I find that this mesh doesn't trap much heat. As always I appreciate that Schneiders has matching product lines. I have purchases a flymask and fly boots to go with the sheet."

— Sydney (5/5)

Fly Sheet

"Absolutely love this fly sheet. My horse is very sensitive to fly bites and this fly sheet has helped tremendously."

— JAMIE G. (5/5)

My fav fly sheet, worth every penny!

"I first tried this fly sheet on my 17. 2 hh guy who can be tough on his sheets. That was 2 years ago and it’s still in great shape. I purchased 2 more for my 2 girls. We live in the southeast USA and it’s hot and humid and there are a lot of bugs. This fly sheet is comfy for them with the elastic panel between the attached neck and the sheet, and the belly band offers perfect protection and adjustability. The material is breathable. It is my favorite fly sheet by far."
