Schneiders® Mosquito Mesh® II Fitted Fly Boots offer excellent insect protection for horses' legs, featuring 350D extra-fine nylon mesh and 40% UV protection. Customers appreciate the fit and lightweight design, though some have mixed opinions on the velcro and effectiveness against flies. The boots are generally of good quality but may require ordering a size up.

"I've been using these for a few years now and they are effective. The sizing is such that my TB horse is a M in the back and front. Initially, I had L in the back, and they slid down and he tore them up a bit (though they're still my back-up). Having 4 velcro pads allows a custom fit and they don't seem to bother my horse when they're on and hugging his legs. I have the light blue tho they also come in dark grey."
"I just got these this month. They don't stay up so after they slid down his legs, he's ripped the velcro tabs off of them and now worn holes in the mesh. These were a waste of money since they lasted about 2 weeks! I don't recommend them."
"I like these but they don't stay up all that well and my horse doesn't care for them and takes them off with his teeth, tab-by-tab."
"These boots are great for my filly who won’t leave other fly boots on and keeps ripping them off and destroying them. Since this has 4 separate Velcro strips, she can’t get all four off so they don’t come off which is great. The only problem I have is sometimes they turn and appear to be uncomfortable with the front at the back."
"My horse has four white socks and is deviled by flies more than my other horse. These leggings are effective and he tolerates them well. It’s a lot easier than spraying his legs with fly spray and works a lot longer. I take them off at night when the stable flies are at bay."
"These have been very durable and stay on. I have experienced minimal sagging and occasionally they spin around, but my pony is hard on anything he wears. The puffy, non-reinforced fly boots that I have tried in the past (although not Schneiders brand) sagged terribly and came off all the time, while shoo flys gave him awful rubs. These have been a happy medium for us. We are on season 2 although I do rotate between two pairs. I have only used on front legs."
"great fly boots, i only buy these!"
"These stay put and fit great. First I thought they looked small but they fit well. The best part is how well they stay on. I have even left them on and gone trail riding on our rock and steep trails. When I get home I just hose off my horse boots and all 🤠"
"Stay in place"
"These cover very well. My mare was getting bit where other fly boots do not extend over the top of the hoop. These completely solved that problem. They are also very easy to wash. Really pleased with them."
