280 grams of fill, 35 to 50 degrees
280 g fill. Clipped or short coat 35–50°F; medium or full coat 30–45°F. Medium weight is the blanket for transitional seasons and moderate winters, when a sheet is not enough and a heavyweight is too much.
2
No sweat under it, and a coat that shines
The 420-denier Dura-Nylon® shell is up to 75% stronger than other nylon fabrics and breathable, so a horse standing in does not sweat under it. The smooth nylon lining will not collect hair or shavings and leaves the coat dust-free and shiny.

V-Free® fit: no pressure on the wither, and a neck that adjusts
Designed with our V-Free® Wither Relief fit, this blanket 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 patented Adjusta-Fit® system lets you customize the neck opening to help fit different widths and head carriages, up to 2 inches.

Eats with its head down, and the blanket stays put
Deep-V closed front that lets the head drop to graze without pulling the blanket forward. A single web surcingle with locking bands and reinforced leg straps. Brass-plated hardware resists corrosion from fly spray and detergents. 2-year warranty.

Finding the Right Fit

Measure once, order once. Most horses nail their size on the first try.
Step 1: Gather your supplies
1
Gather Your SuppliesYou'll need a soft measuring tape. A second pair of hands helps keep it level.
Step 2: Measure chest to tail
2
Measure Chest to TailRun the tape from the center of the chest to the center of the tail. Keep it level.
Step 3: Note the measurement

Note the MeasurementRead the tape at the tail and record the number in inches.
Step 4: Round up if between sizes

Round Up If Between SizesAlways size up when you land between measurements.

V-Free® Fit Guide Designed with our V-Free® Wither Relief fit, this blanket 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. Measure chest to tail, along the side of the body across the widest part of the shoulder and hindquarters. If you land between sizes, size up — a snug fit causes pinching and rubs.

What Horse Owners Are Saying

★★★★★
We us this blanket everyday on our show horses to keep their hair coat, clean & shiny. We only use this blanket for the horses in the barn that have their paddock turnouts, don't use it for pasture turnouts.

★★★★★
This is a well made nice stable blanket. I think it runs big I ordered a 78 and think a 76 would have been a better fit.
Melinda H. — Dura-Nylon® owner ✓ Verified
★★★★★
I really like this blanket. I wanted something simple less bells and whistles for the stall. Fits my horse like a glove comfortably and warm. Plenty of adjustable areas to play with
