"This is the second SmartPak Ultimate blanket I have been through for my Hanoverian/TB mare. She gets lots of turnout with several other horses and they do rough house a bit - combine that with a tomboyish mare and you can say she is pretty hard on her blankets! I got this blanket immediately for her when SmartPak first released this blanket and announced the warranty.
The fit is really nice and all the straps and clasps are quality. My other horses are in Rambos, Weatherbeetas, etc. and I can say the quality of this blanket is right up there with the others. I am however not a big fan of the mesh lining but it is just a small irritant. Overall it looks really sharp on her.
When she developed a tear 3 months into use, I called SmartPak and they immediately sent me a replacement one overnight (including the personalization). While her second blanket is starting to develop another little tear that I am keeping an eye on, it gives me peace of mind knowing that SmartPak will back what they say!
I only wish SmartPak would make this blanket in other colors - I would swap my other 3 horses' blankets out because SmartPak's customer service makes it worth it!"

"This is a replacement blanket for one my horse destroyed. I called Smartpak up to let them know I needed to exercise the warranty, and their fabulous customer service put the return in play ASAP. The blanket is a very quality blanket. I really like the front closure, very adjustable and easy to snap. I also really like the way the surcingles are sewn with a small loop at the top closure, to assist in the prevention of the blanket coming undone. The leg straps are very quality elastic, not the cheap ones that stretch and become useless after 3 months of use. This blanket is being used on a horse with very beefy shoulders, and there could be a touch more room as the fit is a little snug. I also wish it came in a ring and 2 point snap closure for those horses that dont do well with the double straight across closure in the front like this one has. Overall, this is a quality blanket, and the warranty that comes with it, will definitely make me think of purchasing this blanket over competitive blankets when I need another one."

"This blanket is a replacement for another Smartpak Ultimate blanket that my horse destroyed. Full disclosure, this particular equine has a history of completely destroying blankets. This particular blanket did last the longest-it took him 3 weeks to do it in.
Smartpak is their usual awesome customer service company! I called to tell them their blanket was a victim of this particular horse, and they sent a replacement. After a search, I finally found a blanket bib which has helped twart this particular equine (he is out by himself, so I cant even blame "his friend"). While muddy, he has worn it for approximately 3 weeks now, and it's taking what he dishes out-as long as he has the bib. I do wish it was either a touch larger in the shoulders (this guy has really wide shoulders) and that it had a ring & double snap adjustable closure. But the Smartpak warranty, guarantee-and the Smartpak name was why I purchased it in the first place. It is definitely quality. And that Smartpak service cant be beat!"

"I like this blanket, especially because of the great warranty. I have not yet had to use it because I have only had the blanket for a few weeks now. But when I recieved it the first time, it was a little large for my horse. I had to order him the size below, what he normally wears. The best part was the free return shipping. I stuck the product back into the box and slapped the label on and mailed it back. It was very easy. I also got his new blanket back in a reasonable amount of time. I like the feel of the blanket, it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy, especially being a light weight. It has stood up against his pasture buddies so far and they are rough on his blankets. I did notice that his 78 had mesh, but the 75 does not. I do prefer mesh just because it does keep him cooler, but it is still a good blanket. Worth the extra bit of money!"

"I didn't want to spend this much on a blanket but the 10 year guarantee won me over. I'm using this on a 16.3h 1600 pd American Cream Draft mare who MURDERS blankets and sheets. I typically don't blanket much but we've had strange weather here in MD this winter and so this blanket has had a ton of use. She killed her other sheet so, I'll be ordering a sheet in this same Ultimate Ballistic set.
The mare wearing this blanket is wide (a draft) but fits well in other brands at 86" or 87". This blanket runs long (large) chest to tail but narrow (small) shoulder to shoulder and drop so, I wasn't sure which way to go with the fit rating. If your horse is wide order up. If your horse is narrow order at size or smaller. Definitely try it for size and exchange with SmartPak if needed."

"I bought the medium weight for my very destructive gelding 4 months ago - and so far not a rip or tear on it! He lives outside and it has kept him very warm and completely dry, especially when compared with some of my other blankets. My one complaint is that it rubs his shoulders (he's rather narrow). Nothing a sleazy can't fix but I'd rather see this issue resolved before purchasing another one for him specifically. It does not seem to cause this problem on my broader-chested QH, although she hasn't worn it as much either. I am, however, ecstatic that he hasn't ripped or torn it yet - my horses are brutal on blankets and ones in this price range often don't last a season! Overall a great value so long as it fits your horse properly!"

"Smart Pak did not publish the negative review I wrote of the blanket after my experience of having a buckle break and the lining rip two weeks after putting it on my mare. That was last fall, and I wrote a negative review that never appeared here. It could have been a fluke so I am writing again. If they don't publish this I will realize they pick and choose which reviews to post and I will lose all respect for Smart Pak."

"I wanted a durable sheet for our Appaloosa gelding who is gregarious. This sheet will be good for turn-out when we have those rare 'cold rain' days or for those occasions when a non-insulated sheet is needed for a trailer ride. THANKS SP for making this great sheet available at such a reasonable price."

"A turnout blanket, generously sized, durable, handsome, reasonably priced, and . . . guaranteed for 10 years? Yes, it's true. This has got to be the best deal ever. My OTTB romps and stomps with another OTTB, and none of the straps have come undone, and there is not one flaw in it despite plenty of toothy play. Ordered the blanket in his normal size, and it fits great, just a little more generous than other brands."

"This blanket is excellent for durability. However it runs very large. My mare has always worn a 69 size blanket. Across three different brands (Amigo, Weatherbeeta. And big D). This blanket is about 9 inches too long. Since 69 is the smallest size it comes in, I'm keeping it. My Mare has shredded too many other blankets. Where as this one is indestructible!"

"I was skeptical, and admittedly had prolonged placing an order for this blanket. But, when my stallion went thru 3 brand new blankets that I had stockpiled in 3 days, I placed an order. He is out by himself, and I was amazed by his creativity in the destruction of the 3 also well made blankets. The SmartPak Ultimate Ballistic Turnout blanket is standing up to his abuse so far. If it make it thru the rest of the blanketing season, I will replace everyone of our blankets with this blanket. I do wish that it came in the option with the ring and 2 snaps in front. This blanket fits this horse well, the leg straps are quality, and overall I am very happy with the purchase!"
