Stay Dry From Neck to Tail — Built for Real Weather
The StormShield® Contour Collar Extreme II is a high-level waterproof, breathable turnout sheet on a 1680 denier woven poly outer, with a contour collar that fits snugger at the neck and above the shoulders. No fill — just rain and wind coverage. Backed by a 2-Year Guarantee. Family-owned since 1948.
The Problem
One Rainy Night Can Soak Through a Cheap Sheet
It’s 6:15 in the morning, rain is still ticking against the barn roof, and you’re walking toward the paddock gate with a halter over your shoulder. From a distance, your horse’s turnout sheet looks like it made it through the night. Then you reach the gate and notice the neckline has shifted, the shoulders feel damp, and the lining is no longer as dry as you expected. Your horse depended on that sheet while you were asleep.
Every serious horse owner knows the uncertainty that comes with wet-weather turnout. A sheet can look sturdy in the tack room, yet fit very differently after hours of walking, grazing, rolling, and standing into the wind. If the neck sits too open, rain can work beneath the front edge. If the sheet pulls across the withers or shoulders, your horse may spend the night wearing something that restricts rather than protects.
The cost is more than the price of replacing another sheet. You lose time bringing your horse inside, swapping damp layers, drying equipment, and checking whether the forecast has changed again. You may second-guess overnight turnout or make an extra trip to the barn because you do not trust the gear already hanging on your horse. Most of all, you are left wondering whether your horse is comfortable each time the weather turns.
A dependable turnout sheet has to do several jobs at once: resist wet weather, stay positioned through normal movement, allow freedom at the shoulders, and fit closely enough around the neck to provide useful coverage. When one part of that system falls short, your horse feels the difference long before you see it at morning chores.

Why It Keeps Happening
Seams Split. Coatings Peel. Your Horse Pays the Price.
The problem isn’t that you failed to check the forecast, and it isn’t that your horse moved too much in the pasture. Turnout equipment is supposed to account for ordinary horse behavior. Your horse will walk the fence line, lower their head to graze, roll in the mud, and shift direction when the wind changes. A sheet that works only while your horse stands still is not solving the real problem.
Fit and construction matter because wet weather rarely arrives from one convenient direction. Wind can push rain toward the chest, neck, shoulders, and tail. A loose neckline creates an opening where water and cold air can work underneath. A sheet that pulls backward may tighten across the withers, while one that shifts sideways can leave coverage uneven. Closures, surcingles, gussets, leg straps, and the shape of the collar all have to work together to keep the sheet positioned without restricting normal movement.
When that system does not work, the routine starts repeating itself. You arrive to find a shifted sheet, bring your horse in, remove the damp layer, and search the blanket rack for a dry replacement. Then you adjust straps, add another layer, or order another sheet without knowing whether the next design will fit any better. The lost time adds up, but the harder part is the uncertainty: you cannot relax during an overnight storm when you are picturing your horse standing outside in compromised gear.
That is the turnout-sheet trap. Many options are described as waterproof and breathable, but those broad labels do not tell you how the collar is shaped, how the shoulders move, what secures the sheet, or whether the published construction matches your horse’s conformation. Without those details, choosing another sheet can feel like repeating the same gamble in a different color.

- ✗Budget coatings that peel after one season — right when the weather turns serious
- ✗Seams sitting across the topline, right where the rain lands and runs
- ✗A gap at the neck and shoulders that lets cold air and water work in all night
- ✗Finding your horse wet, chilled, and miserable after a night of unexpected rain
The Solution
StormShield® Extreme II: Engineered for the Weather You Actually Get
The StormShield® Contour Collar Extreme II Surcingle Turnout Sheet is a rain layer built to the Extreme tier. The shaped contour collar fits snugger at the neck and above the shoulders for greater protection in wet, windy weather, and drapes comfortably on low and medium withered horses while adapting to most conformations. Fleece at the wither softens the one contact point that does the most rubbing.
The outer is 1680 denier woven polyester over a nylon lining, with no insulation — high-level waterproof and breathable, so rain stays out and body heat still has somewhere to go. Superior durability is the point of the heavier denier: this is the sheet for a horse who leans on fence posts and comes in muddy.
At the chest, a double buckle front works with a snap closure and a hook-and-loop assist. Gussets give the shoulders freedom to move, an enlarged tail cover extends coverage behind, and detachable elastic leg straps help keep the sheet from turning while your horse grazes, walks, and gets up after a roll.
You can check every one of those features with your hands before turnout. And it's backed by a 2-Year Guarantee — made by horse lovers, for horse lovers, the way Schneiders has done it since 1948.

The Details That Keep Your Horse Dry Season After Season
Built on a 1680-denier woven poly outer with no side seam, this sheet moves with your horse instead of fighting against movement. Double buckle front with snap closure and hook-and-loop assist makes blanketing easy even with cold hands on dark winter mornings. Gussets at the shoulders allow freedom of movement without the sheet pulling back across the withers. Fleece padding at the wither adds a layer of comfort right where pressure concentrates. Detachable elastic leg straps and an enlarged tail cover round out a sheet that protects your horse from every angle. Surcingle belly straps keep it locked in place through a full night of rolling, movement, and weather — no shifting, no bunching.
