Product Information

Full details

This WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Essential Fly Sheet Combo is designed for horse owners seeking reliable, everyday protection against flies and sun during warmer months. Its key benefit is providing excellent airflow and comfort while shielding sensitive horses from insects and over 75% of harmful UV rays. A potential caveat is that it's intended as a durable, lightweight barrier, not a heavy-duty waterproof solution. Key features include breathable polyester mesh, a full combo neck, smooth lining to prevent rubbing, and adjustable fittings for a secure yet comfortable fit, allowing for freedom of movement.

FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Sizing for fly sheets is typically based on the length of the horse's back from the withers to the tail dock. Consult the manufacturer's sizing chart, which usually provides measurements in feet and inches (e.g., 6'0", 6'3", etc.). Measure your horse accurately before purchasing.

Can this fly sheet be used in the rain?

No, the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Essential Fly Sheet Combo is made from lightweight mesh designed for breathability and fly protection in warm weather. It is not waterproof and will not provide protection from rain.

How often should I clean the fly sheet?

It's recommended to clean the fly sheet regularly, especially if it becomes soiled with mud, sweat, or debris. Regular cleaning helps maintain airflow, prevents skin irritation, and prolongs the life of the sheet. Washing after every few uses or when visibly dirty is advisable.

What does 'combo neck' mean?

A 'combo neck' means the fly sheet includes an integrated neck cover, providing continuous protection from the horse's ears all the way down to the wither, shielding against flies and sun.

Is the neck cover removable?

This specific model, the ComFiTec Essential Fly Sheet Combo, features a built-in, integrated neck cover. It is not a separate, removable piece.

How much UV protection does the sheet offer?

The WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Essential Fly Sheet Combo provides over 75% UV protection, which helps to shield your horse's skin from the harmful effects of the sun.

Can I use other fly protection products with this sheet?

Yes, you can use other products like fly masks or fly spray in conjunction with the fly sheet for comprehensive protection. Ensure that any additional products do not cause irritation when used with the sheet.

Troubleshooting

Sheet is slipping or shifting significantly.

Check the adjustment of the front closures, surcingles, and leg straps. Ensure they are snug but not restrictive. The sheet may be the incorrect size or shape for your horse's build.

Rubbing at the mane or shoulders.

Verify the 210T lining is correctly positioned. Ensure the front closures are not too tight. If rubbing persists, consider a different fit or a bib-style fly mask to complement the sheet.

Horse seems excessively hot despite the breathable mesh.

Ensure the sheet is clean and free of mud or debris which can impede airflow. The ambient temperature may be extreme; remove the sheet during the hottest parts of the day if necessary. Check that the sheet is not too tight, restricting airflow.

Leg straps are difficult to adjust or keep fastened.

Ensure the leg straps are threaded correctly through the appropriate loops. If the straps are worn or damaged, they may need replacement. Adjustments should be made so they are secure but do not chafe the horse's legs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the fly sheet is the correct size for your horse. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Unfold the sheet and place it gently over your horse, ensuring the neck cover is positioned correctly.
Secure the twin buckle front closure with touch tape, adjusting for a snug but not tight fit.
Fasten the low cross surcingles, ensuring they are snug enough to prevent the sheet from shifting but allow for comfort.
Attach the adjustable and removable leg straps, threading them through the hind legs and securing them. Adjust for a snug fit.

Compatibility:

This fly sheet is designed for horses and is compatible with standard turnout environments. It is most effective when worn by horses who require protection from flies and sun exposure. It is not designed to be a waterproof or heavy-duty rug.

Care:

Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild soap. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
Storage: Store in a clean, dry place when not in use. A breathable bag can help protect it from dust and damage.
