The quality of the Palm Springs color is HORRIBLE!
I've used Kensington Uviator fly masks for several years (and other Kensington products for over a decade) and am a HUGE fan of their quality! I recently ordered some replacement masks for my gelding - 1 Palm Springs and 1 Plum Island (both Smartpak exclusive colors that are on clearance). I received them today and opened them up to take a peek at the colors to see which I liked better as I want to order a couple of additional masks at this terrific price point. I noticed when I pick both up that the one package seemed significantly lighter vs the other. Odd...but ok. I then opened the masks to find that the Palm Springs color mask seems to be of significantly lower quality, and seems much more thin! I'm absolutely floored at the difference in quality here. The black portion of the fly mask...it seems so thin! The trim around the ears seems to be of very poor quality as well. Feels like it would rip much more easily vs the Plum Island. I do notice that Palm Springs is labeled as Made in Taiwan and Plaum Island is made in India - so they appear to have two different manufacturers. I also have the Rainbow colored Smartpak mask (on on clearance, I just liked the color), and it and Plum Island are both much better quality. I don't know if this is a bad batch of product, or what - but I am returning the Palm Springs mask (and I ordered more of the Plum Island color since they were still available. DO NOT recommend Palm Springs...I'd go with a different color!
