> 24 hourMy mare is suffering with uveitis and she loves this mask. When I remove it to put her eye meds in, she keeps trying to stick her head back into it. It fits like a glove. After several weeks of use there is no sagging in the eye area and she has not gotten it off.

> 24 hourMy Purebred Arabian has to be in fly masks year round due to debris irritating his eyes from rolling, allergens etc. Ive tried a lot of different brands, and they either didnt fit him correctly, or he was able to tear them where the eye darts are within a few months. Hes been wearing Kensington masks since summer 2016 year round, and so far I havent had to replace any of them. He wears a medium, for those who are curious. I got the UViator this summer, and still use it even in winter on sunny days! You can see in the picture that hes rolled quite a bit with it, but it maintains its shape, and is such a thick mesh, keeps dirt out which helps with tiny annoying bugs as well. Having a horse with sensitive eyes, this is important to me. Since using the UViator Ive been buying less eye ointment for him. Also, for the record, hes been checked by university vets, he does not have uveitis, he just gets environmental irritations.

> 24 hourThe Good: These are terrific masks and I love the idea of the 90% UV protection. I purchased these is several different colors and they all look great and seem to fit perfectly. I really wanted a mask like this for the high UV protection because my horse has a precancerous lesion on his eye. Vet recommended keeping him in a mask for protection when turned out. The Bad: My horse will NOT keep this mask on. For some reason he does not like it and will rub it off on the fence. I adjusted it tighter and he STILL gets it off. I then put his cheap $15 Farnam Supermask back on and...voila....he keeps it on and has no issue with it. I could try putting a halter on over the mask, but he and his buddies will also get the halter off. Unfortunately, the Farnam mask does not have the same high UV protection like this one. This mask does not have a plush fleece lining and it is very dark since the screening is black. Im not sure which factor my horse doesnt like. Perhaps both. But, I believe it is more likely the fact that the mask doesnt have a soft lining and is probably not as comfortable as those he was used to with a fleece lining. For $50, it is a waste of money for me. Neutral: Perhaps with different horses and under different turnout situations where this is not a solid fence or buddies on each side of the fence playing with each others faces, this mask will work and stay on. At least I can still make use of it when riding as I can put it on under the bridle.

> 24 hourI have two quarter horse paints and I can’t keep a mask on them because they take them off of each other. This one has stayed on! Unbelievable but true. I highly recommend. For UV protection and durability.

> 24 hourI and my horse are very happy for this speical Kensington UV protective fly mask. Its like their regular ones with that added eye protection. My horse has very sensitive eyes and this has helped a him a lot. Thank you for making this product. If I could add some feedback where the stitching is on most all the fly masks they should somehow line it so the stitching doesnt scratch their eyes should they rub their faces. Not sure how they could accomplish that but having softer seams where the eyes are would improve it even more.

> 24 hourI bought this for my mule that has a squamous cell carcinoma on her eye lid. It is easy to put on, cleans up well, and so far has not caused any rubbing. Good durability.
