Description
xOverview
Kensington’s Breathable and UV Protective Sheet delivers all-season protection for horses, crafted from Textilene mesh with a robust 1000 x 2000 denier weave. The Surefit cut adapts to a wide range of horse body confirmations, providing a secure fit without restricting movement. In warm months, the fabric breathes and remains cool to the touch, while the UV shield helps protect the coat from sun exposure. Designed in a rich Kentucky Blue, this sheet aims to balance protection, comfort, and a clean appearance during turnout or travel.
Key benefits and performance
- 73% UV protection helps guard the coat against sun bleaching and sun-related fading.
- 78% air permeability supports airflow, helping horses stay cooler in warmer weather.
- Textilene mesh acts as a barrier against flies and insects while keeping the coat free to move and shed naturally.
- Non-heat-absorbing fabric minimizes heat buildup, contributing to a more comfortable experience on hot days.
- Durable weave resists tearing and unraveling, maintaining a neat appearance even after long use.
- In the unlikely event of a fire exposure, the material resists burning and tends to stick to itself, not the horse.
Fit, features, and protection
The Surefit cut is designed to accommodate a wide range of horse conformations. Front closures use buckles and a snap-front chest for easy on-and-off, while two criss-cross belly straps (2" snaps and d-rings) provide adjustable security. A padded wither, detachable leg straps, removable tail cover, and leg arches add stability and flexibility for turnout, grooming, or riding scenarios.
- Front buckle and snap closures simplify fitting and removal.
- Two 2" criss-cross belly straps with replaceable snaps and d-rings let you tailor the fit.
- Detachable, adjustable leg straps and a removable tail cover support movement and protection where needed.
- Padded wither enhances comfort at the shoulder during activity.
Use cases and practical benefits
This sheet is well-suited for turnout, grooming days, or show season prep. Expect cleaner coats and less dust buildup as the weave brushes against the coat during movement, helping stray hair and debris shed away. The material’s UV shield helps maintain color integrity in sunny pastures, while the cooling properties support cooler comfort on warm days. The color and design also offer a tidy, professional appearance for trips to shows or clinics.
Durability and care
Designed for all-weather protection, the lightweight yet sturdy Textilene mesh balances protection with ongoing airflow. Regular brushing and routine cleaning can help preserve its protective qualities and appearance for seasons to come. The sheet is sized for a variety of horses and comes with a dedicated Kentucky Blue finish to complement stable environments.
