Fly masks - least likely to come off?

[Butterbean]

My horse is out 24/7 and is being plagued by flies so I am trying him in a Rambo flymask tonight .. however I'm willing to bet it will be off by the morning. Any recommendations for good masks that are likely to stay secure? thanks

They pretty much all come off

sew an elastic loop onto the top of the fly mask - ie where headpiece would sit, and thread a field safe headcollar through it. The aerborne ones are ace and sit quite snug without rubbing - voilla!!

My £9.99 shires one has never fallen off

Its all fleecy lined so it doesnt rub.

My mare took her Equilibrium one off daily - the Horseware one has stayed on brilliantly

my boy has an equilibrium one, which so far (touch wood) has stayed on
other horses on the yard have Roma and Horseware ones, which seem to also stay on

my girlie has an equilibrium midi and it has never come off (touch wood) but it seems to be the only one she likes (and doesn't rub)

I bought one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GEE-TAC-FLY-RUG-OF...%3A1%7C294%3A50 and it is pretty secure.
Both horses took their shires one off on a daily basis.

The Farnam Supermasks are very good, last for years and seem to stay put , as do the Premier Equine ones (My horse hasn't removed his yet!) .

Shire fleece lined one, its mega cheap and brilliant, has lasted me for years and stays put!

my mare has the equilibrium with ears.i have tried loads not least because her skin is very sensitive and others have rubbed.it doesnt come off its not the cheapest but i would recomend.

Also second the farnam supermasks - they have double velcro straps so stay put.

I second Shires with ears and nose, fleece lined and doesnt shift easily, even with a rolling ned trying everything to be rid of lol, has now given up and is quite happy with it on!

Not a bad price either!

The Premier Equine masks are very good as well - don't come off even when my boy with SI itches his forelock
