Key benefits
Ripstop Material + SilverTek® Technology
The RipGuard Adjusta-Fit® Fly Sheets are constructed from a special diamond interwoven 350D ripstop mesh x 600D soft-interlocking mesh that self-repairs snags, which can lead to larger tears. When you see a small snag occur, you simply rub the fabric back and forth between your fingers to repair the material. This sheet allows for airflow perfect for horses living in moderate to warm climates with the best insect protection against small to medium-sized biting insects, like gnats and flies.
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. 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.

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.
