UltraFlex® Faceless Pull-On Slicker Hood

Overview

Hardware Free No Rub Pull-On 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, no hardware to break. 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.

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.

Household detergent gets a turnout clean and quietly takes the waterproofing with it. Schneiders® Horse Blanket Wash is a concentrated, non-ionic formula that lifts mud, sweat and manure from blankets, sheets, coolers, wraps and pads and leaves the waterproof coating alone. It suds very little, so it rinses out with no residue against your horse's skin, and it is safe...

Reviews

The slicker is nice, but

"The slicker is nice, but it is a touch small for our yearling (cutting bred). The zipper and velcro seem pretty heavy-duty and the hood part fits well over her eyes and ears, The lycra, however, is already torn in a couple places and we've only been using it for a couple of weeks."

— TERESA D. (4/5)

Go-to

"My family has only ever used Schneider’s slickers since before I was born. They’re the only ones with big eye holes so these are obviously a go-to for me. I like the color availability so I could match my new horse’s jammies to the rest of the barn. I will say though, this fabric seems different than what these used to be. I’d need to dig up my “old one” to be sure but it just doesn’t seem as silky smooth as they used to. Not a big deal but a tiny bit disappointing. The construction and fit is still Schneider’s classic quality though"

— KB (4/5)
