xKensington Protective Sheet: All-Season Breathable UV Shield for Horses
Meet the Kensington Protective Sheet, built from Textilene mesh—a durable 1000 x 2000 denier weave designed to stand up to daily wear while maintaining comfort. The Surefit cut adapts to a wide range of horse body confirmations, giving a secure, flexible fit that moves with your horse rather than restricting it.
The sheet offers significant sun protection and airflow. It provides about 73% UV protection, helping guard the coat from sun bleaching and reducing the risk of sun exposure on sensitive areas. Even on hot days, the fabric's 78% air permeability allows air to circulate, while the material is designed not to absorb heat from sun or surroundings. The result is a cooler, more comfortable horse during summer turnout or warm training days.
In addition to weather defense, the Textilene weave acts as a light shield against dirt and debris, helping to keep your horse cleaner during rides and routines. As your horse moves, the woven structure gently brushes the coat, encouraging the natural oils to come forward and potentially support a shinier appearance. During shedding seasons, this design can help release loose hair and reduce grooming time, a practical perk for busy barns.
