Sweet-Itch – Factory Seconds prevents the smaller biting mites from reaching your horse, with Bucas’ polyester sweet-itch fabric. By preventing the sweet itch problem before the midge biting season begins, you can avoid this uncomfortable syndrome. Prevention is key, so it is important to ensure that your horse is covered before the midge-biting season begins.

The design covers the whole body, including the mane area and ears with a neck that reaches to the ears. It has a detachable belly flap that stretches from the elbow to the sheath to protect the horse’s body. The shoulder darts allow for freedom of movement, and the tail flap prevents small biting flies from reaching the tail. Leg straps keep it securely in place, and the padded and lined front ensures comfort for extended wear.

The solid polyester fabric is tightly woven; therefore insects are prevented from biting through and reaching the skin. Polyester is a sturdy and durable fabric with a high tensile strength. Therefore, polyester can withstand a lot of stretching and tugging with minimal tearing or breaking. Polyester can also endure rubbing and scraping without showing excessive signs of wear.

With 99% UV protection the Sweet-Itch – Factory Seconds helps to prevent sunburn or any further irritation of the skin and helps to prevent their coat from being bleached.

**Factory seconds are not covered by the Bucas 2-year warranty**

All products are fit for purpose.
