RE: [RC] Attack of the killer horse flies - Jerry & Susan Milam

I have the head and neck portion of this armor and have only used it once
cause it seems to create more heat and is a just one more thing to deal with
before hitting the trail. I carry a fly wisk now and can generally swat most
of the bad guys when I need to. If you go fast enough, they can't keep up
anyway:)

Jackie,
To be honest, I haven't used it myself.(They do make a belly guard now,
too.) It just seems like so much "stuff" to fool with.
I use a "rump rug" that I make out of a heavier mesh, and just swat the
flies that land on her neck.

Has anyone used the Bug Armor?  I've seen it and thought about

buying it,

but since the belly isn't covered, it didn't know if it would really be
worth it. Any pros and cons from anyone who has used one???

Thanks.

and the rear

covers the sides and rump. It's the same material as their "quiet ride"
mask.
