UltraFlex® Faceless Full Zip Slicker Hood

Overview

Faceless Lycra Slicker

Made from our signature 8 oz. 4-way stretch lycra that offers UV protection greater than 95%. There are no ears to rub, no eyes to rub, and no seams to rub! This faceless slicker can be used as a light summer neck and shoulder cover to keep braids and bands neat before a show, helps lay the mane down and best of all, the no face design stays in place!

Key benefits

Securely Stays in Place

2" wide flat band of elastic is encased with the 4-way stretch lycra, with hook and loop closure allowing you to adjust your throat latch size. Note: you should be able to fit 2 fingers under the throat after it is adjusted. Added length to the neck ensure the neck stays in place.

Heavy Duty Zipper

Full separating high quality YKK zipper. The zipper opens up completely so that you can slip the hood over the neck as an open front blanket. Absolutely the best zipper available. Will not rub! Short elastic tap with hook and loop fastening attached over the zipper pull to keep the zipper secure.

No Snag Hook and Loop Girth Closure

2" wide elastic girth strap is wrapped in lycra keeping it smooth against the horse with hook and loop closure ends. It has ample adjustability to fit any horse’s girth size. Nylon hook and loop closure reduces snagging of the lycra material.

The new faceless slickers are just what we asked for? They fit well, keep manes nice without the worry of interference with eyes. They stay on straight and are easy to use.

Schneiders has done it again, with the well designed "Faceless Slicker." The innovative design eliminates the over the eyes and ears portion of the slicker and is much safer to use, while still providing all of the benefits of the hood. It stays up on the neck better than similar products and the fabric has basically eliminated the dreaded shoulder rubs. The hook and loop closure belly band is much better than plastic buckles as it never fails. The coat on my horses has never been better and the breathable fabric keeps them comfortable.

Recently we tried out the UltraFlex® Faceless Zipper Slicker from Schneiders, and what a game changer. No more rubs around the eyes or pulling on their ears!” Stays in place great, we will only use these from now on.

I really like Schneider's Faceless Slinkies. My horses are a lot more comfortable in them and I have a lot less wear and tear on the slinkies now because the horses don't rub their faces as much.

Finally an answer to the forelock debacle! You get the extra layer of protection, keeps the horses clean, and no more slicker in the eyes or rubs at the ears! The New UltraFlex(R) Faceless Slicker is a home run.

The Faceless Zipper Slicker is exactly what I have been looking for. It’s easy to put on with the zipper feature & makes dressing head shy horses a breeze. The neck portion stays up well and offers plenty of mobility without sliding or bunching up, even on the longest necks like our Arabs.

Reviews

Best slicker ever

"***sha*** yeah ok. com/photos/054tlsh0WnpYIGNQK_OXTb2qA I was worried I would not be able to find a slicker large enough to fit Our big boy weighing in at 1300 pounds. Kodachrome is a very large Friesian paint Cross and he needed a slicker to keep him clean prior to our shows. Fortunately, I found the perfect slicker that was comfortable and well-made at Schneider‘s. And the benefit was that it came with his nose band embroidered with his name. Koda looks stunning in his black slicker, and the best part is he stays clean, even laying down in shavings until Our shows the next day. (I wanted to add another photo but can’t figure out how. )"

Wanted to like this but….

"Was super excited when this arrived. Unfortunately the sizing chart wasn't accurate for my 17. 3 HN/TB. The article when fitted wouldn’t stay below the shoulders and behind the withers as designed … it would only creep up the neck. It would work great as an equine neckie :). Sent it back. I much prefer the design with the fabric secured between the legs with the surcingle clip that I’ve used on my other horses. On the positive side, it appeared to be made the good quality."

— GAYE M. (3/5)

Love the shoulder guard

"Blankets were rubbing my mare's shoulders bald. Her hair grew back in quickly and she has had no more bald spots. The fit of the shoulder guard is really good and uses a velcro belly band to keep it in place. It is well made as are most all items I have purchased from Schneider's. Highly recommend if your horse has blanket rubs on their shoulders."

— CINDY M. (5/5)

Ultra flex shoulder guard slicker.

"Hardly any winter turn out blanket will get your horse thru the winter without some hair loss. The shoulder guard allows freedom of movement, and complete comfort for your horse. I have been using them for several years. My one throughtbred mare is particularly hard to fit in any of the blankets that I have tried. With the shoulder guard I am worry free, and my mare is comfortable. The construction of the shoulder guard is of very high quality as well. This is one product that I can recommend without hesitation."

— JIM W. (5/5)

Looks great!

"The navy blue faceless slicker (mane tamer) looks great! Just what I wanted. (I've seen a few mishaps from the old style where the horse gets hay wadded up his mouth along with the mouth opening of the full face ones. Not cool). Can't tell how it will work in person, as our first show isn't until next month. But I think it will be awesome."

— Marilyn M. (5/5)

Love it!

"Love this mesh slicker, especially on hot days to protect from flies while keeping their coats clean. It's my "go to" for hot weather at horse shows to keep my horses clean!"

— stephanie m. (5/5)

Worked out well!

"Finally a slinky our gelding did not destroy within a month! It was his first faceless and it survived the season. The pullover is a bit tight- he has a large head, but it is comical to put on him. Worked well for us and I would definitely purchase again."

— Tamara H. (5/5)

Best summer slicker

"Love this product and ordered this as one of my others is 7-8 years old. I wash it after every show and it has held up great! I want to be sure this product is not discontinue before I need another one! UltraFlex is cool in hot months and keeps shavings out of braided manes better than any other!"

— DeeAnn K. (5/5)

Doesn't work

"This is not nylon at all, just mesh. I appreciate its breathability but returned it because I'm not sure how it keeps anything clean with the mesh fabric."

— Emily D. (1/5)

Great quality

"Will always choose these for their quality and the larger eye holes give me peace of mind when leaving on through the colder months. 100% recommend."
