The most I've been able to find is 90%. ETA: I was able to find a 95%. Not wanting to spend over $150. Edited by Longneck 2015-03-12 1:04 PM

Take a look at this one, has a removeable neck cover https://www.smartpakequine.com/pt/mio-flysheet-6865

Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	I use the Kensignton protective ones, not sure what % they are, but at the risk of boring people with this picture, here is my show horse that was outside a lot considering he was a show horse. a couple hours in the am and maybe 3-4 in the evening.

Rad Dork Posts: 5218 Location: Oklahoma	Thank you both! I want him to stay dark, but since we just had a run in with ulcers I don't want to take the risk of stalling him. I like the Mio price, anyone know if it would hold up? I've heard good things about the Kensingtons. Thanks for sharing!
