I just got this one and really like it. Love the adjustability at the neck and shoulder. http://www.sstack.com/horse-blankets-and-sheets_fly-sheets-sun-protection_mosquito-mesh-fly-sheets/mosquito-mesh-closed-front-fly-sheet-32273c/[/QUOTE]
I have this one, too. Closed front, every time.
I did not get the closed front. I got the open front with the snaps, which is very adjustable. I like it so much, I think I will try the closed front one too tho.

Thanks, all! The Kool Coat looks like it might do the job (and yes, the price is great).[/QUOTE]
I tried it on three different horses, it shifted so much on one of them it was dangerous. The other two got rubs. The chest lining ripped on one too. The run large IMO. I’m not a fan.
I love Kensington for durability, but above 80 these are too heavy for my horses and I switch to the saratogas.
I was excited to try the Saratoga Summer Turnout, and bought two from Smartpak (free return shipping-yay) and neither fit either of my TB’s. way too big in the neck opening and slid down the shoulders pretty bad. And neither of these horses are “thin”. Bummed they didn’t work, but just not a good fit. They were night and light though and fir the giant QH in the barn well, so she bought my bigger one! Sending the other back, and unsure what to try now. I’ve had the Rambo’s in the past, and they are so hot! And the Mio lasted about 2 weeks on a horse in single turnout. My one guy has huge withers, and wears a Rambo wug all winter, so hoping I can find something similar that will fit him in a fly sheet.

I have this problem in most sheets/fly sheets. I just purchased the Turtle Neck fly sheet and it fits beautifully. The neck area is stretchy and allows for the close fit without restriction. I love it so far!
I love my Kensington! I am looking for something cheap to use when is really hot though. My horses live out.

That’s the one I got, lasted me years and I bought a closed front off a friend. I hate it. The open front never shifted, this one shifts to the side terribly and makes her sore.
At least princess pony is protected from the scary bugs though!
Beval only sells a couple of fly sheets, but they are having a 25% off sale now on all fly products.
I bought this one - it was on sale for $29

liked it so well, I purchased another when they went on sale again.
Fits well, stays in place and washes up nicely. Neck cover was not available when I purchased it last.
Has anyone tried this one?
