They did their jobs….
"Unfortunately they only will last one season. Larger velcro piece ripped off both masks along the jowls. They were great until that happened. Reinforce the velcro and I think you’d have a head of a product."

Reviews
Lightweight and easy to put on
"I received these to replace two others that I bought only to find those to be quite thick and hot and heavy and ears cover had ripped in 1 week. These are light weight and seem to be well made. The only thing I don't care for, it doesn't have a opening for their forlock of hair. I would by these again."
Nice closure and fit
"I like the softer feel of this fly mask, especially how the velcro straps create a more contour fit under the jaw. I ordered the cob size for my 2 horses - one is a smaller built QH and the other is an arabian. I wish it came down a little lower on their faces. It stands off their faces well. It does seem to come off easy in the pasture, but my one horse is pretty much an expert."
Fits without being tight
"This is a nice fly mask that has plenty of room around the eyes and hasn’t rubbed the jaw and nose."
Mare likes it!
"My mare wears a fly mask pretty much year around. This mare needs a bit of extra Sun and bug protection for her eyes. This mask does the trick and she seems to like it. Looks good on her and I will definitely purchase another for her when she needs one."
RIP stop mesh fly mask
"Excellent"
"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."
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."
Nice fly mask
"The fly mask has lots of room and fit well. The size fits my quarter horse. The material appears to not obstruct vision and increases visibility."
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."
