Terrible fit and Quality
My horse wears a size 78 in all of smartpak's blankets and they fit well besides being a little tight on her shoulders. This sheet was too tight all throughout the body but extremely long on her, the tail flap didn't start till almost a quarter of the way down her tail. There were also already threads pulling out when I took it out of the bag.

Belly band too tight
I really liked this sheet, until I did up the belly band. Even with the elastic, it is too tight. It caused the sheet to be pulled back towards my mare's flank, causing a rub at the front of the sheet under her neck.

Too narrow
We have two stocky trail horses, one is AQHA and the other is Percheron/QH, both 15 hands. While I appreciate the company offering a fly sheet for stocky horses I still find this sheet too narrow in the chest. The front opening is not adjustable nor is the hardware protected by fabric behind it causing rubs on our horses' chests. The belly band is also wayyyyy too short. Length is fine so I don't think sizing up would help.

Update
Just to update my previous review...This sheet has stretched a LOT! It looks like I ordered 2 sizes too big. Although the mesh is nice and cool and seems to be holding up well, if it stretches any more, I won't be able to use it. :(

Love it, but...
I LOVE this sheet, with one exception: I wish it had a wider belly band!! The belly band only extends from behind the girth area to his flank, rather than covering the entire belly. It looks like it needs to be about 6" wider and placed more forward on the sheet itself! Having said that, I love the material, the leg straps, the length of the neck, and that is is holding up well for turnout.

Great fit, destroyed immediately
I really do love the sheet and how it fit my ottb! First one I’ve found that could fit his chest width and didn’t hang past his knees.
Unfortunately one of the front metal keepers bent on the first night and the rest of the blanket was ripped apart two days later. My horse isn’t particularly destructive so I was shocked to see it ripped apart so soon. I’m still unsure if this was his way of saying he doesn’t want clothes or if his pasture buddies hated it.
Don’t want to turn anyone away from the blanket as it is an awesome option stocky horses but be wary if you have rambunctious horses!

Poor fit
I found this sheet to fit more snug than the standard version. It also had a major flaw in the construction.

Great fly sheet.... but....
I was so excited to get it... I need something for a bulky Lusitano and it looked promising...until I tried to close the belly band.. Way too short... and the sheet is already large on him so sizing up is not an option. So large length wise but not in the belly....

Awesome Fly Sheet
I think this is one of the best fly sheets I have ever known. Washed up great..I think it runs large as I have had to exchange a couple of times but AWESOME company to work with!!!

Finally a sheet for stocky build
Recently bought this for my stocky QH gelding. Literally the first fly sheet that really fit and wasn’t droopy in the belly band. Love the Velcro closure on the chest so no gap open & the tail strap is a nice touch! Would definitely purchase again! Please don’t discontinue!!
