The ARMORFlex® Challenger II Standard
No More Blanket Rubs — The V-Free® Difference
The ARMORFlex® Challenger II with V-Free® wither relief and Surcingle closure. Built for horses that move, roll, and live outside.
The Problem
Most Turnout Blankets Create the Problem They're Supposed to Solve
Shoulder rubs, wither sores, and blankets that won't stay put. You spend more time repositioning and treating than you do riding.
Why It Keeps Happening
Every Morning Is a Damage Assessment
You walk out expecting your horse to be warm and dry — instead you're checking for rub marks, re-buckling, and wondering if the 0g unlined shell — ideal for mild temps, clipping season, or layering is even doing its job anymore.
- ✗Wither rubs from ill-fitting blanket panels
- ✗Surcingle that loosens overnight during turnout
- ✗Blankets that shift and bunch during rolling
The Solution
The V-Free® System Was Engineered Specifically for This
The V-Free® wither relief design gives complete freedom of movement at the shoulder. Paired with crossed surcingles keep the fit secure through rolling and playing. Adjusta-Fit® at the chest means you get the fit right without trial and error.
🛡️
V-Free® Wither Relief
The V-Free® wither relief system eliminates pressure points and wither rubs — no repositioning, no sores.
💧
Surcingle Closure
The surcingle closure stays put through rolling, playing, and running — adjusted once, stays all day.
📐
0G Unlined Shell for 40°F+
The 0g unlined shell — ideal for mild temps, clipping season, or layering — right for mild weather, clipping season, or layering under a heavier blanket.
