"Delivery was great. Selection could be a little better. However, the overall quality appears to be good. Time will tell how it holds up."

"The seam between the eyes came open the second time my horse wore it. I thought I was being sent a replacement so I threw it away and then I got email saying the replacement was cancelled."

Bottom Line

Despite the good initial delivery and selection, the mask's durability and fit issues pose significant problems. Users recommend looking at alternatives such as the Professional Choice brand.
