Runs large and tends to slide back on my horse until it's tight across his chest limiting his mobility. A little heavy for summer, but I haven't used it on hot days yet to see if its breathable. The heaviness maybe a compromise for durability. Great price for a well constructed sheet.

Material is nice and feels durable but haven't had it on for turnout yet. The front only has one strap and is not lined so it may rub the shoulders.

This sheet is really nice because my horse doesn't get too hot with it on. I use it mainly so she doesn't bleach out from the sun.

Have used these sheets for 5 years now and they really keep horses clean and prevent bleaching of the coat. Nice and cool also so the horses stay comfortable.

This blanket is good for mild sunny weather. The fabric isn't really breathable. I purchased this after seeing on smartpaks recommendations for their list of must have. I really would have chose a different one. I wouldn't recommend this to a friend because the only time we would use it is in summer and summer in IL can get really toasty/

Not what I expected

September 4, 2012
ByJMPIT
fromNevada
Expertise:Trainer
Riding Style:Hunter/Jumper
Needed a fly sheet & thought this would be a good choice, but when it arrived, it wasn't what I expected. The weave in the fabric is so tight that I can't see how there would be any airflow, even with a moisture wicking feature, I couldn't feel comfortable putting this on my horse in the 115 degree desert summer here. I didn't take it out of the package for about 3 weeks, just waiting for a day that I thought wouldn't be too hot for my horse to wear it, but that day never came, so I sent it back. Awaiting my refund now.

Not so breathable

I realize that sheets in the summer make horses sweat, however, when this sheet said it was meant for warm weather and was breathable I was really excited to try it on my white horse. The fit was good and it kept the flies off my horse for the 5 minutes I tried it on. But in that 5 minutes she was already heating up under the blanket. Walked around the barn one time to see how she moved in it and was ready to break into a sweat. Seemed durable but I returned it because there was no way she could wear it all day in 70 degree weather.

I purchased these sheets for my 4 horses, 2 of whom live in them. Unlike the Kool Coat Airstream, the Kool Coat Lite's fit is more true to size and is much cooler for the horse (different materials). My dark bays are tough on their clothing, but these sheets have held up all summer so far (even in turnout!). However, they have torn one of these off of one of my other horses. Nonetheless it's a great fly sheet, that keeps my dark horses cooler in the summer than wearing no sheet at all. It also makes a nice trailering sheet. It's made of soft woven material, and the fittings are comfortable and sufficient (though not perfect) at keeping the sheet on straight. They wash up very nicely, too. Great value for $35, even if they need to be replaced from time to time.

This sheet is great if you need something to keep your horse clean after a bath, and it is nice and cool. I have a mostly white paint, and he would sweat under his other sheet in the middle of summer, but with this sheet, I don't have to worry. It doesn't shift much, even when he rolls, and it runs about a half size big. My horse wears a 72, and the 72 sheet is a little big, but not a full size. It doesn't t rip easily, and is a great sheet for the price.

Light and cool. It seems to do a good job of reflecting the sun without becoming too warm underneath. However, it does run large. I ordered a 78, my horse's usual size, it is a little too long and definitely has a long drop on the side. For the money, a good addition to his summer wardrobe.

I wasn't expecting much from this sheet. Arrived show morning to find it covered in manure stains and shavings, but found a clean horse underneath. I have not washed yet but assume it will be resilient, even if it doesn't come perfectly clean. Nice heavy hardware - I just wish it was lined in the shoulder. Since I use this with a hood after braiding, it's not too big of a deal.

GREAT sheet for the price! On a 90 degree day and shortly after a thunderstorm, my gelding was perfectly dry under this sheet, and it truly has helped with the flies! The leg straps work fantastic to help keep this sheet in place.
My horse is turned out on pasture 24/7 with a herd, so I expected repairs and rips. No rips yet, and there has been plenty of opportunity!! After a month, one of the cross straps came off. I suspect it had come unbuckled, then got stepped on. The ONLY issue I've had with this sheet is that one buckle staying buckled and that strap staying shortened to where I adjust it.
As far as fit, this sheet is on an Arabian, and I expect to need shoulder darts to get a perfect fit from any sheet I put on him. This one is no different. However, it isn't rubbing, and he seems comfortable. His color is brilliant, too, since it isn't being sun-bleached!

My horse has been wearing the blanket for 3 weeks now and I do not see any spots where the blanket is rubbing or causing sore spots. It is durable. The only thing is I am worried when it gets hotter that he will sweat more because of the cloth like material. Other then that, I am very happy with it.

Bought this sheet for a light weight turnout sheet/fly sheet. Horse stayed cool even on a few hot spring days. He stayed clean too. So far durability is good; but it has only been 2 weeks. Runs a bit small so had to size up from usual 81" to an 84". Washed up great in machine w/bleach. Description said it has shoulder gussets, which it does not. It is rubbing my horse's shoulders a bit because the material is not slippery so it "catches" and pulls back.

I have had this sheet for a little more than 2 years and I could not be more impressed! It is not heavy so it doesn't weigh him down, but even though the material is light it doesn't rip! And don't be worried that the sheet is white, stains come out so easy when through the wash, and you only have to run it through once. My horse is turned out in a group and it does not have 1 rip! Fits amazingly well, it is definately worth the money!

Love the sheet, was very durable during the time I used it, but it's just too hot here for many type of sheet! :( It was over 80 with 90% + humidity and my horse ended up sweating (not horribly though). Will be using it only when it's a little cooler out when we still have bugs but I need to find a cooler one for our hot/humid summers...

This is a very good-looking, comfortable and light wicking (cool--no sweating), and versatile sheet. It's great for shading a dark coat from the sun, it's effective fly protection, comfortable stable sheet for protecting my horse from dust and dirt, and with the full tail flap it is a MUST for trailering in the summer. It's true to size. It stays in place. It doesn't dull a coat like cotton canvas can. And they wash up nicely. The only downside, but you have to be realistic, is that the material can snag if you have a horse that rubs on everything. I have one for all of my horses to protect them from the Arizona sun and flies this year. For $35, it's a useful sheet to have on hand.

Thought I would get something a little heavier, more durable than a fly sheet...and be a little more of a UV protectant. Sheet lasted 2 hours before buckle end on the side, blanket attachment ripped and free of the blanket. It was a good fit and not too tight, just not well-stitched. I had the ORIGINAL Kool Coats by Weatherbeeta and they lasted for years...new style lighter and be "Kooler," but does not beeta the old ones...get a fly sheet.
