First impressions

This is a well-fitting veil that comfortably sat under the bridle on all the horses we tried it on. I also liked the smart navy colour with the nice red trim.

Overview of performance

This veil did a good job in the summer heat as it was lightweight and absorbed moisture. The ears were not as thick as some of the others and therefore didn’t muffle out the sound out as effectively, but it was good at keeping annoying insects out of the ears.

Likes and dislikes

I liked how smart and easy to use this veil is, but it has stretched a bit with lots of use.

Verdict

A smart fly veil that is great for the summer
