Easy on/Easy off

In general, most horses tolerate things pulled over their heads.  Therefore, your horse’s mesh faceless slicker is simple to put on. Open the wide velcro on the neck opening, putting your horse’s head through. Slip over the neck and shoulders. Close the left side girth strap.  Tighten the throatlatch Velcro®, otherwise, the neck portion may slide. If you have an overlap of Velcro®, trim the excess. Thus, your mesh headless hoodie should fit smooth, like swimwear, but not tight.

Care

Your mesh faceless sleazy contains 80% nylon/ 20% spandex fabric. Therefore, it is machine washable and air dries fast. Also, follow our simple Care Instructions for best results. Wash your faceless slinky at least once a month to prevent bacteria build-up.

What Makes Moisture Wicking Mesh so Special

Moisture-wicking mesh is ideal because it allows maximum freedom of movement and makes an excellent hot weather outer covering.

Moisture-wicking fly mesh features a body-hugging 4-way stretch that is very breathable. It will keep your horse dry when he sweats. These are the most versatile outdoor fabrics available today. This fabric has a  soft inner layer that pulls moisture away from the skin keeping your horse dry, cool and comfortable.

How does this work? Moisture and high humidity next to the skin cause discomfort.  Performance mesh will keep the skin dry because the fabric is very breathable and does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor.  When the fabric’s inner surface touches the horse’s body it will draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric, where it spreads rapidly for evaporation.  Because it spreads out too many times its original surface area, your horse will stay cool and dry.

When used under looser fitting non-stretch fly mesh hood and sheets, it prevents rubbing  Keep your horse dry and comfortable while protecting and polishing the hair coat.
