"These are ok, my horses have had them a weekend and already have holes in the ear and one ear is starting to come loose. I do like the velcro shape and placement, it does allow for a lot of adjustability. One horse keeps hers on and the other has pulled his off every day so far."

Reviews
Not satisfied
"While this fly mask appears to be of quality material, the placement of the darts, or seams as some may call them, are right at the eyeball and is too close to their eyes. I tried it on my gelding and he wouldn’t stop blinking. I plan on returning it for something with more room in the eyeball area. He is back to wearing his old one that has holes in the ear pieces."
Great potential, fell short in quality
"Love the design of both the mask and the fly sheet; but I’ve had to repair several different seams on both items shortly after using them. Seams came open and other sewing frayed so much it didn’t stay together."
Fantastic Flymask
"I have personally and professionally gone through many a flymasks over the years, and Schneiders ripstop is the real deal. I have 5 horses and they all wear them well."
Rough horse
"Amazingly this fly mask has made it through one whole summer with a horse who does everything to get it off. I'm on my second summer with the same fly mask. It's definitely got some wear on it but still going strong!"
"Great, great fly mask. No complaints! Very well made"
"Grate fly mask. Wonderful price and fast shipping."
So far so good. I
"So far so good. I like this fly mask more than others I have used. My horse seem to be able to see out of it well and it allows more air flow and my horse has less sweat under it."
Lightweight but needs thicker velcro
"So far I like this fly mask. It’s lightweight and sits off my horse’s eyes. The only qualm I have is the stitching is already starting to unravel from the Velcro. I think there is too much tension on the smaller bottom strap."
Over 1 year!
"By far the first fly mask that has lasted over 1 year even with rough play pasture mates and Florida sun! It does get pulled off but a lot less than another brands and is still intact!"
