FAQs

How much UV protection does this mask offer?

The mask offers over 60% UV protection, which helps to shield your horse's sensitive facial areas from harmful sun rays.

How do I ensure the mask is comfortable for my horse?

The mask features six structured darts to lift it off the eyes, fleece binding for comfort, and a breathable design. Ensure the adjustable closure is snug but not tight, and that no part of the mask rubs or pinches.

Can this mask be used in the rain?

While the mesh offers some protection, it is primarily designed for protection against insects and UV rays in dry or humid conditions. It is not waterproof.

How often should I clean the fly mask?

It is recommended to clean the mask regularly, especially if it becomes visibly dirty or soiled, to maintain hygiene and prevent skin irritation. Follow the care instructions for washing and drying.

What material is the mask made from?

The mask is crafted from durable fine mesh, with ultra-soft mesh for the ears and 3D mesh over the poll for enhanced ventilation. It also features fleece binding.

Will this mask stay on my horse when grazing?

The elasticated sandwich-style closure is designed to provide a secure and adjustable fit, helping to keep the mask in place during grazing and movement.

Is there a warranty on this product?

Please refer to the retailer or WeatherBeeta's official warranty policy for specific details regarding product warranty.

Troubleshooting

Mask does not fit securely.

Adjust the touch tape closure to be tighter or looser as needed. Ensure the forelock is properly positioned and not obstructing the fit.

Horse seems irritated by the mask.

Check for any rubbing points, especially around the ears, nose, and eyes. Ensure the darts are lifting the mask sufficiently away from the eyes. Consider if the fit is too tight or if there are any seams causing irritation.

Mesh appears damaged or torn.

Inspect the mask regularly for tears. Minor damage may still offer protection, but significant tears reduce effectiveness. If the damage compromises protection, replace the mask.

Mask gets excessively dirty.

Clean the mask regularly according to care instructions to maintain hygiene and visibility. A damp cloth can be used for spot cleaning between washes.

Pros and Cons

  • Designed for comfort with features to prevent rubbing around the eyes.
  • Offers good adjustability for a secure and personalized fit.
  • Incorporates breathable materials and design for heat management.
  • Includes UV protection to shield sensitive areas from the sun.

Cons

  • May require careful fitting to ensure optimal comfort and protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Gently unfold the mask.
  2. Place the mask over your horse's head, ensuring the ear sections cover the ears.
  3. Adjust the forelock to fit through the designated hole.
  4. Secure the elasticated sandwich-style touch tape closure under the jaw, ensuring a snug but not tight fit. Check that the mask sits comfortably without pressing on the eyes.

Compatibility:

This mask is designed to fit most horse breeds and sizes, but specific fit may vary. It is compatible with standard turnout and stable environments. Ensure no part of the mask pinches or rubs the horse's skin.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent in cool water.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry. Ensure the mask is completely dry before reintroducing to the horse to prevent skin irritation.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
