Expert Posts: 1286 Location: Mississippi	tj135 - 2017-05-04 2:40 PM aquinnell - 2017-05-04 2:03 PM While my Kensington did hold up fairly well, mine is really stiff and my horse sweats like crazy with it on when its above 80. This is the second one Ive bought, they did NOT stand behind their warrenty on the first one so I told myself I would not buy another, but ended up finding a good deal on a used one. I personally wouldnt buy another one, only due to the fact that with the stiffness it rubbed on his shoulders and I dont think they're that breathable. I also find my Kensingtons rub my horses shoulders and aren't very breathable. I don't mind mine for if the horse is in a small pen or tied, but haven't had good luck with them for turnout. I notice mine has been rubbing the shoulders a little also. I was wondering how it would do in the heat because it is so stiff. Hmm, may need to search for something a little more Mississippi summer friendly - if there is such a thing

Angel in a Sorrel Coat Posts: 16030 Location: In a happy place	MidWest1452 - 2017-05-02 12:20 PM My two stay covered all summer with sheets and shoofly leggins. I have been through a few different sheets till I finally landed on some that I really like. My two are turned out 24/7 and have never ruined a sheet. There aren't many trees though which can make it more difficult to keep things from snagging. So I really like the horseware amigo bug busters. They cover so well and my horses wear them in our 90+ degrees and high humidity days and are never sweaty. They have 95% UV protection and I think them not stomping keeps them cooler than without. I also like the smartpak deluxe sheets but they don't cover as far down but I have a few on hand for when I want to wash up their main sheets. If my horse was harder on their clothes they would wear the Rambo Fly Busters. I had those for a year but liked the Amigos better because they were alittle lighter weight and my horses don't need the durability of the Rambos. I will attach a few pictures. ETA: 1st and 3rd picture are the Amigo Bug Busters 2nd pic is the smartpak deluxe without the neck cover shown. I have never found any any better than these Amigo Busters. They are the only ones I ever used.

Hmm, may need to search for something a little more Mississippi summer friendly - if there is such a thing Mine have never rubbed, but I get one that is plenty big. It would be a disaster if the show horse rubbed his shoulders, and this is all I have used on him since he was 2.
