- It feels really sturdy, but not too stiff. There is a brow seam "flex spine technology" that creates a canopy to keep the fabric away from the horse's eyes.
- The mesh is UV-coated. I know some horses need this.
- The fit is really nice -- no gaps anywhere -- it looks like it's custom made, and it makes it less likely that flies can enter the mask.
- the ears are not too short! Riley has long ears and they fit comfortably.
- I love the "ID card" on the velcro strap!
- The nose cover is detachable.
- A loop at the top of the mask makes it easy to hang.
- A very detailed size chart to select the right size mask (range, small to XXL). Riley is a Large, or warmblood.
- At $24.95, this is reasonably priced! The Rambo flymasks were a third again as much.
