Runs small
"Quality of the mask itself is good, however it runs very small. A size full is closer to a size cob so I wasnt able to use this for the horse I bought it for. The elastic is also much stiffer than I thought it'd be, not very stretchy."

Reviews
Stays on. Great price point!
"I originally purchased this OTTB that always gets rubbed marks on the side of her face and under her jaw. She has a giant head! But it was too tight on her and the largest size available. So I gave it to my old man Tennessee walking horse and it fits perfect. The darts stay out and away from the eyes and I have arthritis and it’s very easy to pull the Velcro on and off with a little tab. That is very much appreciated. Easy to wash and I will be purchasing another for him so I can interchange the both when it’s time to clean them. ! Great product, super price point. I’m happy and everybody at the Barn is asking where did you get that fly mask."
Stays on, stitching undone
"This has been the one fly mask my horse has not removed this year. The stitching underneath the jaw in the elastic part has been coming apart after a few weeks. I think I can repair it myself. Will probably order this again."
Mosquito mesh belly band with neck
"Live the lightweight and breathability. Stays put on my horse"
Fly Mask
"This is a well made mask which was easy to fit to each horse and they seem to like it. The jaw band ,IMO, makes a comfortable fit."
Love these!
"I ordered 3 of these for my horses, and I love them! They go on like a halter, and are easier to put on. Everything that touches the horse is soft and comfortable. I’ve washed them several times in my washing machine and they hold up great! Highly recommend!"
"Very well made. Doesn’t rub. Secure. Keeps the gnats/mosquitos off."
"Love this. Stays on my horse even while players with his friends. Also goes all the way to the end of his nose so he doesnt fey sunburn."
