Fits well with great visibility
Great mask. Roomy area around the eyes, strong Velcro closures and my horse likes it. Not sure it will rub on his forelock since there isn’t an opening for it. All in all , very pleased.

Great fly mask!
I love this fly mask. It stays on. It has plenty of room between my horses eye and the mask and the material is stiff enough to maintain that space.

My #1 fly protection tool
This is the second set of fly masks I've bought, so now my herd of four all has the same ones. These are the best I have found as they provide excellent protection from flies. They are easy to clean, easy to put on, and are durable.

Seems to hold up reasonably well
This fly mask seems to hold up better than similar other brand masks I have purchased with ears. However, the ear part was irritating my horse on one ear causing her to rub it and causing it to bleed, which is why I gave 4 stars rather than 5.

Super light and breathable
My horse really likes this mask better than his old one. He’s much less sweaty underneath so I can tell it’s cooler! It’s holding up well too.

Best Fly Mask Ever!
This is the best fly mask I've ever purchased...and I've had them all. It says away from their eyes, fits beautifully and keeps even the smallest flying insects off my horses face, eyes and ears. They wash up great and are very durable whether they are used for turn out or in the barn. I liked them so much that I purchased (2) masks for each of my Warmbloods and donated all my old ones. I will definitely purchase these again and have recommended to my friends and vet.

Love it, fits great, stays on and works well.
Kassadin seems to love his new mask, I like the way it looks and it stays on.
It feels comfortable to the touch.

The BEST Fly mask! Switch from Cashel's to these!
I used to buy my horses cashel's fly masks. But they would start to frey apart after 1 summer. I got a shires one on clearance and was hooked! They last so long and have better fine protection. I like how they dont sit directly on the horses eyes and it has nice shade. only buying these from now on. They have lasted 2 years so far with holding up very well!.

Nice but too dark
Good quality mask and true-to-size fit, however, I had to give it to a friend. It was so dark that my horse started spooking at anything outside his paddock.

Good Protection. Horses seem to like it.
Soft material, horses seem to like it. Also bought the smart pak leg protection against flies in similar color. Looks good on them, horses seem happy to wear them. Bought these to replace the stiffer, older style masks we had and the horses seem to prefer getting these ones put on (softer). Have not had it long enough to tell you how it holds up to washing or weather yet. There are some gaps, though overall it does protect.

Tough fly mask
My big THB goes through fly masks like paper - 2 or more a season. This one is very good quality, made of and sewn with good materials. Really good quality for the price.
Nicely padded and the mesh is stiff and contoured enough to stay off the eyes. So far so good. Hard to comment on the fit on my 17H big thoroughbred. The extra large fits pretty well.

This is a really nice fly mask. I expect it’ll last more than one season for sure. It seems very comfy and soft too. The Velcro straps are a little long for my quarter horse. I may cut them shorter but I don’t want to compromise the stitching. We will see!

Great fit
This is my favorite fly mask to date. It fits perfectly and stays generously away from my gelding’s eyes. The fleece band inside keeps the mask from rubbing.

Great Mask - wrong color
I bought this about a month ago and am very pleased with the features of this mask! Fits my OTTB mare who is a pretty standard size perfectly. Only reason for 4 stars is the mask box was marked as a black color mask but contained the orange color instead. I dislike the color, but haven’t heard back from SmartPak about correcting, so used the mask anyway. I like the small mesh which is easier to see through and the fleece on the forehead. It dries quickly when washed and has been durable so far.

Great fit!!!
I’m super happy that I bought this mask for my usually too-small-for-draft-sized-things but too-big-for-horse-sized-things draft cross, because this mask fits perfectly! Her luscious lashes usually are hindered by the close fit of many masks, but this one gives ample amount of room! 100/100 stars!

Really Great Fly Mask
I have bought 3 of these Shires masks now & after years of using many other brand - will not buy any other kind. They fit my QH mare's head perfectly, wash very well, have an attractive look & color plus hold up to 10 hrs use daily through the summer.

Great fly mask
These masks are light but sturdy. The fleece binding is a nice touch as it is soft on the skin and keeps elastic from grabbing. The eye mesh is arranged by darts that keep it well off the eyes even when horses rub their face on their legs. Easy to clean and dry quickly.

Fits fine TB head great!
I bought and returned 5 fly masks trying to find the right fit for my fine boned TB. Finally tried the shires and it fits perfect! Love the thin firm screen fabric too-it stays off his eyes and my boy can see! Nice quality- great price

Best mask I bought
It stays on , true to size, has comfy fluff inside across brow area , horse can see well in it, ears are not too flimsy small or big. Hasn’t come off once in two weeks. I bought a cob for our 14.2 quarter horse also fits my 15.3 TB petite head.

Favorite fly mask!!
I’ve had this around 2 weeks and it is hands down my favorite fly mask I’ve ever purchased. I love how the design keeps it away from the horses eyes. It has a nice snug fit and has nice soft lining on all the edges. And I love that you can actually see the horses eyes, I think my horse likes that as well! Will definitely be purchasing this model the next time he needs a new one.
