Yes - good quality product. Make sure you know your sizing, though. Majority of the people that have issues with them are not properly sizing.

I have tried the Bye bye Fly leg wraps for one of mine.  They snap on and are citronella scented and they have really worked.  Problem is that they only last a few weeks to a month.  If you try the shoofly and they dont work then maybe try these citronella scented.

Shoofly, 100% yes.  

They last about a season. They are making new ones where the bottom is tougher material, which should make them last a little longer. 

Shooflys by Deb seems to be the best deals right now.

DEFINITELY!!!  Especially on the horse's front legs.

I have found that the mediums fit the smaller horses better and i use larges on my bigger horses.

Do they make the legs hot?  I am in Oklahoma and summer heat can get pretty hot.

Not at all. It's a light airy mesh material. I bought a medium size for my horse. They stay up perfectly... no rubbing or heat when I remove them. My niece next door keeps hers on 24/7 on her pasture horses and they are holding up great!

Love them! They stay on 24/7 turnout in all weather - even mud. 

My young ones all pull theirs off. 

I'm in hot, humid Georgia and they do not make the legs hot during the summer.

Big YES on the shoofly leggings.

Agree they last about a season, then they kind of get worn out.

I keep them on my horses pretty much all the time in the summer months. Last year, NEVER lost one.

I used them on three horses last year. All wore a size medium. One horse was smaller boned and he probably could have had a small, but they worked fine. Other horse is VERY large boned and the mediums are great for him.

Bought a set of mini Shoofly for my mom's mini's this year. Danged they are so cute! (of course the mini's are too)
