ARMORFlex® Challenger II V-Free® Wither Relief Adjusta-Fit® Surcingle Turnout Blanket

Overview

A Blanket That Challenges Blanket Standards

When your horse takes winter turnout seriously, you need a blanket that can keep up. Designed with rugged durability, exceptional waterproofing, and smart fit systems, this turnout blanket outperforms the competition by keeping your horse warm, dry, and unrestricted. Rain, snow, or rowdy play, this one’s built to handle it all.

  • 5X more waterproof than other leading brands
  • Detachable tail cover for extra protection
  • Breathable, windproof, and waterproof for all-weather comfort
  • Ideal for horses with sloped shoulders or low withers
  • Backed by a 7-year warranty for long-term performance

Key benefits

V-Free® Wither Relief, Fit for Stock Breeds

No more rubbing or pressure at the withers! The V-Free® design begins where the mane ends, easing tension on moderate to low withers ideal for Quarter Horses, Arabians, and stock breeds. Hip darts create a contoured, body-hugging fit with extra drop to wrap around the barrel comfortably.

Adjusta-Fit® for a Custom Neck Opening

Say goodbye to guesswork. Whether your horse is narrow or wide, the Adjusta-Fit® neck opening can be customized for a snug fit. From high to low head carriages, this feature ensures a perfect, pressure-free feel across a range of body types.

5X More Waterproof Guaranteed

ArmorFlex blankets are built to outlast the elements. Their superior waterproofing technology means water rolls off effortlessly even in heavy downpours. It’s reliable performance your horse (and your peace of mind) can count on

Year-Round Versatility

From lightweight sheets to heavyweight blankets, the Challenger II comes in multiple warmth levels to suit every season and every coat type. Get the right coverage, no matter what winter throws your way.

Comfort, No Matter the Forecast

Waterproof, windproof, and breathable, this blanket regulates temperature while shielding your horse from the elements. No more overheating or damp discomfort, just consistent warmth and dryness.

Front Snaps for Hassle-Free Changes

The snap front closure with a hook and loop assist gives you easy adjustability and super-fast on/off, perfect for chilly barn mornings or late-night turnouts.

Freedom to Move Naturally

Reinforced, forward-set gussets allow unrestricted shoulder movement and eliminate chafing. Whether your horse is grazing or galloping, this blanket moves with them.

Secure and Stable Fit

Criss-cross surcingles with locking bands hold everything in place. Brass-plated hardware resists corrosion, and detachable leg straps add another layer of reliability for all-day wear.

Detachable Tail Cover

Need extra rain and wind protection? Snap on the double hook & loop tail cover. Want more ventilation or a shorter look? Snap it off. The choice is yours.

Visibility that Shines

Reflective gusset patches and tail stripes improve safety during early morning or nighttime turnout. Moonlight, headlights, or barn lights will catch the reflective trim, making your horse easier to spot.

Leg Straps Included for the Perfect Fit

Detachable elastic leg straps adjust from 20" to 38", stretching with every step. Brass-plated snaps make it easy to clip them on or off quickly.

Durability You Can Rely On 7-Year Warranty

We stand behind every stitch. This blanket is backed by an industry-leading 7-year warranty, guaranteeing long-term use and dependable performance.

Venetia, Pennsylvania - Empress Arabians

We are always looking for high quality turnout blankets for our horses' downtime. Arabians vary in size so fit is extremely important to us. The Armorflex V-Free(R) turnouts from Schneiders have enough options that we can find a fit for any size of our horses. They also hold up great to the elements here in Pennsylvania!

Reviews

Super durable, gorgeous colour, and waterproof!!

"Loving our new blanket! It is a stunning raspberry colour that complements my black mare beautifully. It is extremely durable, and has put up with a lot of tree scrapes and horseplay. It has also been very waterproof even after a terrible all day downpour. The wither relief has been great for my mare as well. She has a very tough to fit, round shape, and this fit has worked really well for her, not causing rubs and she can easily stretch her neck down. Thank you!"

Love this Blanket

"I love the durability of this blanket. I also love the belly band. I truly think that it is so much warmer in our South Dakota winters. I love the different shapes and sizes of blankets that Schnieders offers to fit every horse shape and size and their guide to get the correct fit. :)"

— Jennifer K. (5/5)

Big boy

"My gelding is very hard to find anything to fit him . . high withers, his neck ties in low, a deep heart girth and a short back at 16. 2 hands 1180 lbs and only 4 yrs old . . Armor flex Challenger 2 closed front fits him like it was custom made just for him . . he’s also rambunctious it’s built tough as well . I’ll buy another in the future . ."

— Colette S. (5/5)

Excellent blanket and customer support

"This has been a great blanket for our Thoroughbred. Its exterior is great for the wind chills we get. The interior Velcro square came loose, and customer service was quick to respond and address the issue. Can’t say enough good things about this company."

— Sarah K. (5/5)

Versatile and good fit

"Frankly I like the fact that it fits a variety of horses. Plenty of room for the wide ones, but the adjustable neck allows us to throw one on one of our narrower, higher-withered horses as well. Keeps them dry, doesn't chafe in the shoulder. Stays in place (and we had some truly windy days). Serviceable when it counts."

— SANDRA M. (5/5)

Perfect Fit

"I own an Arabian. Even though he is the strudy type as opposed to the refined body type, he still has narrow shoulders. This turnout sheet is the only sheet I've found that doesn't cause rub marks on his shoulders. What a relief for him!"

— Kathy L. (5/5)

As promised, fits the quarter

"As promised, fits the quarter horse. Mine is a wide shouldered, big stout horse and the gussets and adjustability were absolute necessities. I am sure this sheet will last for many years since we only used them maybe 3x per year in South Florida :)"

— michele c. (5/5)

Great sheets.

"I always like the Schneider sheets and blankets. My horses usually take a 78 and 80 in other brands so I got it for these sheets also. It seems either these run larger or the ones I've gotten in the past ran small (my money would be on the other blankets). The quality of these sheets is very high so I know I'll be able to use them for more than a season or two. They are also heavier than a normal sheet from other places. Schneider is going to be my go to for sheets and blankets in the future"

— NOREEN D. (5/5)

Great fit for slender horse

"I bought a size 68 for my 15'1 quarter horse TB cross. Others blankets I tried were too big in the neck, and I thought that a bad fit was partly the reason his mane was rubbed off at the end of the winter. Although I might have thought he was a 70, the 68 fit perfectly in every way, and the neck is a not too big. I like that there is adjustability in the front, ample tail cover, and the sides don't hang down as long as other blankets. I wanted to get the heavyweight in the same blanket--unfortunately sold out for now in a 68."

— LAURA I. (5/5)

Awesome Blnket

"My no wither cowhorse was well taken care of over the winter with this blanket. Fit well, strong and durable, hardware and Velcro holds up nicely. Perfect weight for winter in Eastern Oregon."

— Barbara N. (5/5)
