I've been eyeing this blanket for a while, so when I saw the black one go on sale I jumped at the chance to buy it. My horse measures an 80, so I bought the 81 and it fits great. The medium weight is equivalent to a stable blanket and therefore exactly what I was looking for, as I already have a lightweight turnout sheet. He's only worn it a few times so I can't comment on durability, but it is clearly made of quality materials and I do expect it to last. I may have to replace the leg straps though, as they are elastic. Great blanket though, I definitely recommend it.

This blanket was good looking and very warm. It runs a bit large on my big boned paint mare but the next size down would have been too small. The color was as described. The only complaint was that it had big rips and tears on the outside and lining in les than a month. In contrast her other blanket lasted 2 years with minimal need for repair.

I have always used the Rambo brand of blanket but thought I would try the Smart Pak brand because of their attention to quality and value. I was not disappointed! The fit and durability have been excellent for half the price!!! I am not a fan of leg straps and would prefer a third belly strap, like in the Rambo's, but, for the price and value, I will buy the Smart Pak blankets again in the future!!!

Received this blanket just in time for it to warm up and he only wore it for a couple of days. However, it seems to be very well made, good hind leg straps, secure belly straps, and a true-to-size fit. I have been using the SmartPak turnout sheet for several months and it is still hail and hearty. I wouldn't expect anything less from this blanket.

I bought a classic turnout for one of my horses 3 years ago. It has held together so great I bought a second for my pony. Great fit, warmth and waterproof. No need to spend more, this blanket has it all.

I can't say anything about the durability, since I have just had the blanket two weeks, but the fit is good for a stocky Quarter Horse. It has kept my mare warm and dry in some pretty nasty weather, and it is showing no damage even though she is at the bottom of the pecking order and often gets beat up. It is a good blanket for the price.

I love this turnout blanket, but the leg strap are absolutely horrible. Fortunately, leg straps are inexpensive and this blanket is a bargain. SmartPak, please put better leg straps on this blanket! Then it will be 5 stars in my book :-)

The leg straps are super flimsy and falling apart after a week. The adjustment on it does not hold so everyday his leg straps have fallen back to the longest length and I have to make them shorter everytime. And the are very cheap thin elastic. I am going to have to just remove them.

I bought this sheet as a light turnout for my Fjord mare. The durability was solid and the seam placement allows for good freedom of movement through the shoulder- especially for those happy bolts across the pasture. My horse is a 70" but I went for the 69" as the 72" would be too big. The length is pretty true to size if not a bit short as the tail flap does not lie flat on my pony. If you are between sizes on a lean TB type then go a size down but if your horse is quite full in the hind quarter consider going up a size. Overall great value.

I am VERY impressed with this blanket so far, especially at such a great price. My horse is a TB who is not terribly furry, and he has gone outside for several hours at a time in the snow with no problems. He wears the "heavy" version. I do add, though, that if he was clipped, I would probably add a layer underneath. The leg straps don't seem like they will hold up too well with his antics, so I might take them off. If he was a little broader across the shoulders, a big WB might find this a little tight (that is why I gave the fit a "4"). However, this fits him great. For reference, he is 17 hands with an average size body frame.

I'm really pleased with this blanket. It is a nice weight, fits well by itself or as a top layer for colder weather. It has proved to shed water realy well on very rainy days. (Unfortunately we've had alot of them lately!)
I expect it will be durable but I have only had it 3 weeks

I wish smartpak had this blanket up to a 90. It fits my perch but it could use a little more shoulder room.

I had gotten this for my TB after he had a rough day following a cold spell; sometimes the winter weather just gets to him. I needed a heavy blanket that was also affordable, and after doing some research decided on this one. Honor is 16.1 and measures about 78 inches; the 78 fit perfectly. The shoulder gussets were an added bonus, and have kept him from getting rubs. The blanket itself feels a little light for a 360 fill: the fill goes to about where the end of the horse's side is (about where your stirrups hang), and the rest of the blanket (the part that gets tucked up under the belly straps) isn't filled. Regardless, it has kept him warm in the cold CT temperatures, and withstood rolling (my horse rolls at least once a day and --knock on wood-- no rips). Plus, it looks great! I get a ton of compliments on it.

I have owned and cared for horses in Colorado for 27 years & have never blanketed them until last year. My homebred paint mare is now 17 years old & year before last, in spite of an excellent diet, free-choice shelter & proper dental care, she had a hard time maintaining her weight over the winter. I decided to start blanketing her in hopes that she wouldn't have to use so much energy to stay warm & that it would help. After checking into many different turn-out blankets I decided on the SmartPak Classic after reading many reviews. I was, and continue to be very happy with its performance. So much so, that this winter, I've also purchased one for my 13 year old paint gelding, who is out of my mare. In spite of my mare being his dam, they are built very differently, with her having a lot of thoroughbred blood and thus, the thinner lankier build. My gelding is much stockier & I was a bit worried that since the blanket fits my mare very well, that it may not fit him quite as well with the stockier build. I was very surprised & pleased that this turn-out blanket seems to work great for both of them. The only difference between them is that I have a need to use the elastic leg straps for my stockier gelding, whereas I've removed them from my mare's turn-out. I absolutely love the fact that the leg straps are removable so I have both options! I would definitely recommend this turn-out to anyone that needs a quality product at an affordable price. Time will tell how the blanket holds up for my gelding as he is much more likely to damage it than my mare, but thus far they have been outstanding.

I bought the lightweight version of this blanket because I live in the Seattle area and it doesn't get really cold but it is wet! The blanket is nicely waterproof and fits my Morgan gelding really well. I only wish it came up a little higher on his chest. The blanket is stitched nice and tight and I think it will last for several seasons. This blanket is a good bargain compared to other big name brands! I would definitely buy this item again!

Well pleased with blanket. Would have liked for there to have been snaps in front rather than buckles, but it fits well & is a good weight for our southern climate. It would not be heavy enough for colder areas.
