The1CowgirlsEnvy - 2017-04-17 5:56 AM Cashel has been the best I have found
Those do look like they stay off the eyes. BUT I've never purchased because of the ear holes. I'd rather have a large opening for the ears and forelock. But I suppose I could make some modifications. The Kensington masks aren't bad but sometimes they don't lay right.

The gray Cashel for sure. Forelock holes are a deal breaker for me, they are a must have! And ears of course because we have gross gnats that drive the horses crazy.
Mine is always in between sizes. Even if it's large it sags into the eyes. I'm almost better off going small because at least the eye darts are placed over the eyes. Might try the Cashel and if that fails then go for the $40 Rambo.
WE have the Farnam ones with the fleece trim and no ears and they work very well. They stay off the eyes just as good as the cashel ones and I don't think get get as hot since they are more open around the ears.

Hands down, Cashel. Material is great, well constructed. Comes in multiple sizes, with ears and without. Now I see they have cute new colors. And Cashel is a good brand for re-sale.
