Techflex Flexo PET Expandable Braided Sleeving
Techflex's Flexo PET sleeving earns its best-in-class spot for horse trailer hydraulic lines by combining lightweight, expandable braided construction with strong abrasion and chemical resistance; it conforms neatly around fittings and bundles without adding bulk. Compared with heavier spiral guards in this list, Flexo PET offers a lower-cost-per-foot, easier retrofit installation and superior flexibility, though it trades off some high-temperature and impact resistance versus the heavy-duty spiral options from Gates and Parker.

Gates MegaSpiral Guard HTG-12
Gates MegaSpiral HTG-12 is positioned as the market leader for maximum mechanical and thermal protection on trailer hydraulic lines, featuring a high-temperature-rated spiral design that resists abrasion, cut-through and crushing in harsh chassis contact points. It is more robust and longer-lasting than braided sleeves and budget wraps, making it worth the higher upfront cost for high-wear areas on horse trailers where impact and heat exposure are common, though it is bulkier and less conformable around tight fittings than Techflex braided sleeving.
