Professional's Choice Comfort-Fit Fly Neck Cover with Mane Protection

Stop Mane Rub-Out Without Sacrificing Fly Protection

If you've ever pulled a fly neck cover off your horse only to find a thinned-out mane, you know the frustration. The Professional's Choice Comfort-Fit Fly Neck Cover solves that exact problem — combining serious insect protection with a jersey-lined crest that actually preserves mane hair during 24/7 turnout. This isn't just another mesh tube; it's built with a contoured arc design that follows the natural curve of the neck, so it stays put without shifting or sagging.

The rip-stop polyester body blocks biting flies, mosquitoes, and gnats, while the breathable mesh keeps your horse cool even in peak summer heat. Heavy-duty snaps attach to any fly sheet with standard D-rings, and the adjustable hook-and-loop closures underneath ensure a secure fit that won't twist or slide. Whether you're managing sweet itch, protecting a show coat from sun bleaching, or just keeping your horse comfortable in bug season, this neck cover delivers on all fronts.

Why Riders Choose the Comfort-Fit Fly Neck Cover

• Mane-safe jersey lining — Soft jersey mesh strip along the crest plus nylon lining reduces friction, preventing the rub-out that wrecks a year's worth of mane growth.
• Rip-stop durability — Polyester rip-stop mesh withstands herd play and pasture hazards without tearing, so one cover lasts multiple seasons.
• Universal fit design — Contoured arc shape and adjustable closures fit most standard horses (14.2hh to 16.2hh) and pair with any fly sheet brand that has D-ring attachment points.
• Maximum airflow — Lightweight mesh construction keeps your horse cool and comfortable, even during the hottest days of summer.
• UV and coat protection — Shields the neck from sun damage and coat bleaching, essential for show prep and keeping dark coats from fading.
• Sweet itch relief — Provides the full-coverage barrier needed for horses with insect hypersensitivity, preventing skin lesions and scratching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fit my horse if I use a different brand of fly sheet?

Yes. While it pairs perfectly with the Professional's Choice Comfort-Fit Fly Sheet, the universal design and heavy-duty snaps work with any fly sheet that has standard D-ring attachment points at the neck. The adjustable closures ensure a secure fit across brands.

Q: How does this prevent mane rub compared to other neck covers?

The soft jersey mesh strip and nylon lining along the crest reduce friction against the hair follicles. Standard mesh can be abrasive, but this design keeps the mane intact even during extended turnout — a game-changer if you're growing out a mane for shows.

Q: Is the rip-stop material really durable enough for active horses?

Absolutely. The polyester rip-stop mesh is specifically engineered to resist tearing, even when horses play hard in the pasture. It's built to handle the wear and tear of herd life without falling apart mid-season.
