"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."
"This is a nice fly mask that has plenty of room around the eyes and hasn’t rubbed the jaw and nose."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I bought this for my pony and it is much bigger than I expected. The ears are especially HUGE! She keeps it on but it is way too big!"
"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."
"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."
"The fit is a little funky, no forelock hole, but the fly mask stays on well"
"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."
