Very good for fly and sun protection
Overall very good. If I were to get picky, it is short down the face and Throat latch comes up too high and is a tiny bit loose. Of course the fit for each horse will be different. What I do like. It is lightweight and not only protects from flies but is like wearing a pair of groovy sunglasses.

too much padding between the ears
why does my horse need padding between his ears and nowhere else. Plus big in throat latch area and short down the nose area

Destroyed in less than a week
I got 2+ years of use with a Cashel Crusader for my DraftX, and after seeing better days I decided to purchase this Shires Equestrian 3-D Fly Mask. Within less than a week it had a huge tear on the top, and only a few days later got another tear on the ear. Needless to say I'm super disappointed and will be switching back to buying the Crusader.

Try Again
This is the 2nd year in a row that I bought Shires NEW fly mask design and the 2nd year I returned it because their regular design is the best for my boy. I bought this one because it specifically said it was designed to keep it off the face (fly masks make my boy's forehead itch). The design did not stay off his forehead any more than the regular Shire mask and it had lots of extra fleece that was going to make him hot.

Lovely fly mask except for the ears
I bought this about 2 months ago, and my guy has only gotten it off once but it was because the downpour made it so heavy it just kind of slipped off. My only complaint is the ears, they rip easily because they’re like a fabric that nylons would be made of. Other than that it sits off his eyes and he seems comfortable in it!

Great fly mask
This purchase was for his back up mask. I love this style with only one very secure strap. This is a great fly mask all around. Fly season has been awful this year.

My Favorite Fly Mask!
Hallelujah I found the one! I used to be an avid Crusader fly mask customer, but my mare kept getting them off somehow and she was the first horse that I wasn't crazy about how that mask fit her face. I tried a couple of the lycra masks but again was not super impressed by how they seemed to rub around her eyes and the mesh darts didn't do anything to keep it away from her eyes. After reading the reviews on this mask, I broke down and spent a little more on it than what I have on other masks in the past knowing that I have had good luck with other Shires products and I am thrilled that I did! It fits beautifully on my mare's face, I love the breathable materials on the cheeks and ears, the easy-to-use and large single tab closure, the inner fleece lining across the forehead is a nice touch, but above all I love the fine mesh that is easy to see through but seems very durable (I haven't had it long, but my mare tends not to be too destructive so I imagine this will last). I also love the UV protection this mask offers in combination with SmartPak's Deluxe Fly sheet for my black mare - and the colors match! My only complaint is that it does not have a hole for the forelock but I will happily go without for all of the good qualities that this mask has. Overall I am really happy with this purchase and will continue buying Shires brand masks going forward.

Attractive fly mask for horses
I gave this fly mask a good review is that it looks great and the size was accurate for my horse. I did find that my horse was able to get it off without me removing it; this is my litmus test to determining a product. I felt the materials were well put together and it is attractive.

easy to put on
This fly mask is great! I love shires but this one especially with the one large strap for closure. Much easier to put on.
