I have seen some for good prices and I'm not sure if they would be good or not. I though I'd check with you guys first!

I haven't used blankets or sheets by them before, but I've heard good things. I've had fly masks by them and really liked the quality. When I get some money I'm going to buy this fly sheet:

I've been using defender 1200d turn out blankets this winter for my boys and I love them. They roll, play etc and the blankets stay in place. Other than some dirt there's no sign of wear so far. I'm bummed that their on sale now (I paid $20 more for them) but I don't feel like I need to order extras because they've been so hardy.

Hmmm...the blanket I wanted is a 300 gram blanket, I need the medium weight:( But I may get a sheet, not sure yet!

I don't know about the blankets but I bought a couple of fly masks and a fly sheet the summer before last and was very dissapointed. The fly masks just wasn't porportioned to fit the horses head well and the sheet didn't last a month. Granted, they were fairly cheap so I should have known they may not be the highest quality. It does look like they may have revamped their products since then so maybe they are a little better now but I wouldn't spend my money on anything from that line again.

My only complaint about them is that they are not as waterproof as they claim.

I haven't used their blankets, but we had some rough horses at the barn and a horse had a defender fly sheet; it didn't last very long.
