"I read the reviews by others that said these masks ran large so to order a size smaller than normal. My quarter horse has an arab shaped head, and he wears arab halters and fly masks in other brands, so I ordered the medium mask. It high-watered on him! After I exchanged it for a large, it fits great. I love that is has a little piece of elastic under the jaw so the mask won't be too tight yet will still hold firm to his head to keep bugs off of him. I used to use Farnam Supermasks, but after this, I will only buy Kensington. The mesh is a lot thicker and is standing up to daily wear much better than the Supermasks have in the past. I am very impressed with the durability and construction of it, and he has not lost it once!"

"This flymask is very nice. I have a Haflinger with a small head and usually wears a cob size but with this fly mask she wears a regular horse size. It's very nice and the pink is perfect for my mare."

"My horse wears an arab in the Farnam Super Mask, and based on other reviews, I ordered the medium in the Kensington, but it was way too small. I just got the large and he has worn it for 2 days so I can't rate the durability yet. I do love that it has an elastic panel on the throat latch-I really like that it flexes with him and it won't be too tight. It seems to be very well constructed, and the mesh seems thicker than the Super Mask. So far, I am happy, and the Smart Purple is a very striking color on my bay."

"I'll definitely be purchasing this mask again (when I need to). I got the purple and it looks fantastic on my dark bay horse. It holds up well, but the horse next to mine isn't bad about grabbing onto his mask, so I can't attest for the durability given a much more mouthy stall/pasture mate. I personally think it runs a tad big. I have a thoroughbred and he does have a kind of small and delicate head (he wears horse-sized bridles, though) so I went with the medium and it fits great. I feel like the large would be way too big."

"My horse has uveitis, so he wears a fly mask whenever he goes outside or we ride, for UV protection. The plaid is a nice way to add some fun to an otherwise "ordinary" product. He is a 17+ hand TB with a pretty big head, so I ordered the Large. I found this runs true to size. If you're in doubt, though, and you're between sizes, I would size up.
I give this a 4 overall, though, just because I wish there were two separate holes for the ears, instead of just one large opening at the top. With one large opening, he might eventually find a way to remove the mask. However, we haven't had any problems with slipping or removal yet.

"I got this fly mask in the wonderful catalog blowout area of the Smartpak store for literally $1! While the price was unbeatable, the fit of this flymask is plain weird. my mare has a smaller head for a thoroughbred, so i got the medium size and the bottom of the mask ends right under her eyes. while the qualty is very nice (kensington always is), it just didnt fit her well."

"I have a draft Morgan cross and the fly mask fits him well . I was sceptical at first he has never worn a mask before and it was kinda pricy, but I am very happy I bought it. my horse is on pasture turn out so he is exposed to rain and shine and it has help up well. I also got it embroidered and it looks amazing I get compliments all the time . I took it off my horse the other day and he put his head down and slipped it back in so he is still wearing it . He is happy as well . I also purchased the fly boots and they started to wear after two weeks so I contacted kensington and they shipped a new pair that day, and that pair are wearing great .Kensington stands behind their products and they are well worth paying the extra buck ."

"Loved the Kensington plaid; however, the first time my mare put it on (she's accustomed to wearing plain colored fly masks), she was not ready for seeing the stripes within the material. Her anxiety soon passed. The fleece around the edges, while a little warm in the hot summer months, did protect her skin from any chafing caused by mask. My mare is a 15.3 Thoroughbred, and it's a big large on her, but works well and doesn't rub her eyes."

"I was excited to try out this fly mask (which I purchased to match a Kensington fly sheet). It definitely did not disappoint. I was impressed with the quality of the material. I purchased a size XL for my horse that is in between standard horse & oversize, and it is a little loose, but works really well. I actually purchased two additional masks because I feel that these hold up much better than the brand I was using. I actually returned the one I ordered in SmartBlue, because instead of having one large opening for both ears, it had two separate holes. I wasn't crazy about the appearance, but the horse I bought it for really disliked it and kept taking it off. I actually replaced it with the Kensington mask without ears with the long nose & he loves it! I would definitely recommend the Kensington masks."

"The quality of the fly mask is good. I really like the double eye darts as my horse has allergies and I don't like the fly mask touching her eyes. The fleece edging is a nice touch so it won't rub against her. The one thing I am not crazy about is that the mask runs a little small."

"I purchased two Cashel flymasks from Smartpak last summer and was disappointed with the velcro adhesive straps. Even when tightened as far as possible my horses could literally shake the masks off if they wanted to, and the velcro was very skimpy. This year I decided to buy Kensington masks and am so pleased! Talk about quality! The double velcro adhesive straps are very well made, the masks are beautiful, and do not budge. My only complaint is the sizing is a bit hard to gauge. I ordered Mediums for both thoroughbreds based on the "runs-large" advice on the website. It fits my TB with an average head perfectly but my other guy with a slightly bigger head (but not warmblood big) would be better off with a Large. Oh well! Overall a great purchase."

"It's no surprise I love this fly mask. Kensington makes awesome stuff, and it is no exception. The fleece is very soft and makes for a well-padded mask that won't rub. The double-velcro strap is very heavy duty. The textilene is durable and keeps well away from the horse's eyes.
The only thing I'm a little surprised about is the mask I got has two separate holes for the ears, not one oblong hole for both ears. So there's no place for the forelock to be pulled through.
These masks do run a little big. Size Large is about the same as the Warmlood size in Crusader masks."
