Wanted to love it, but will go back to Kensington. Fell apart within three months whereas my Kensington lasted 18 months. Did provide sun coverage, but my horse's face seems more sensitive in this than in the Kensington.

Cost effective mask with great coverage
After having issues with new Kensington UViators and how they fit my haflinger, I decided to try the SP UV masks. They're certainly much cheaper! I first tried the horse sized mask (what my horse wears in the Kensington), it was HUGE. It hung low off her nose and darn near wrapped halfway around her head a second time. I saw they were on sale now and decided to try the cob size. It fits really well! It's light weight and covered her nose at the perfect length. The only drawback is the length of the ears. I had to cut them off because her ears were just a smidge too long for the mask. I also wish it came in an option without ears/nose.

Too heavy
Material is too thick and plastic-y. I can't imagine my horse wearing this happily in the heat of the summer.t

Loose stitching
I bought this a month ago for my mare who had to have eye surgery. It’s done a great job but the stitching is already coming loose around the ears and there’s now holes in it. For the price I would have liked it to last longer and it’s important for her to have coverage all the time to keep healing correctly.

Great for older horse with UV light Sensitivity
My older gelding developed a sensitivity to UV light, he began standing in the barn all day and would not go out to graze until evening. I'm not sure if it was an eye sensitivity or nose, but I was encouraged to find a UV blocking fly mask with the nose extension to try. I'm happy to report that this fly mask helped 100%. He now goes out to graze most all day, even on really bright and sunny days. Thanks smartpak.

Perfect!
Fits perfect, offers great protection, no rubs, has stayed on 24/7 so far during this blazing hot summer (107 today!). I love the fleece under the brow area, the forelock hole, the wide velcro strap, long nose cover (he has a star/ blaze/ snip combo that goes all the way down to his lip) that prevents pink/ burned nose and, of course, the UV block protects his face and eyes in sandy reflective high desert heat. Perfect all around for my black gelding!

Best UV Protection Mask
I purchased this mask for my 22 year old appy/TB gelding who has uveitis and needs to have his eyes covered 24/7. I did cut the ears off because he doesn’t like his ears covered and I trimmed the fleece on the inside by his eyes because it initially gave him rubs. After those little changes it is perfect. The wide velcro strap is very secure and in a couple months of wearing it it has only come off once and he is turned out with 8 other geldings. Definitely recommend!

Not what I was hoping for.
Was really hoping this mask would work for my appy due to the great price in comparison to other UV masks, but it just doesn't. He is able to easily get it off due to the single Velcro flap, but more importantly, the extra padding around the crown has rubbed his face raw over his eye and by his ears. Unfortunately this means I'll have to buy another brand to replace it.

long lasting
I always purchased these quality masks. Heavy duty stitching, full face seems like you may think it's warmer to the horse but it is not. My yellow horse sweats more with the less expensive ( fur ) around the neck and nose. These hold up to many many washing machine cycles.
