Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Combat Fly Mask is designed for horse owners seeking superior, long-lasting fly and UV protection for equines with smaller head profiles. This mask offers exceptional comfort through its soft, micro-mesh material and double-darted design, ensuring the fabric stays clear of the eyes and lashes. While it provides comprehensive coverage including the ears and nose, owners must ensure they measure their horse accurately to benefit from the secure, non-slip fit.

FAQs
Can this mask be worn during turnout?
Yes, it is designed specifically for durable, long-term use during turnout.
How do I know if the Extra Small size fits my horse?
The Extra Small is generally designed for ponies or foals. Refer to your horse's specific head measurements to match them against the product dimensions.
Does this mask provide enough sun protection?
Yes, the material is rated to block approximately 70% of harmful UV rays, helping prevent sunburn on the face.
Can the nose piece be removed?
Yes, both the standard and tasselled nose pieces are interchangeable and can be removed via the strong Velcro attachments.
Will the mesh collapse onto the eyes?
No, the double-darted construction is designed to keep the mesh away from the eyes, lashes, and temples.
How should I clean the mask?
Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Mask keeps slipping or rotating
Check that the throat latch is fastened snugly and verify that the size is correct for your horse's head circumference.
Velcro is not sticking properly
Check the hooks for dirt, debris, or hair buildup. Use a stiff brush to clear the Velcro fasteners to restore grip.
Horse shows signs of rubbing
Ensure the mask is correctly centered and that the elasticated ear section is not bunched up. Adjust the tension of the straps slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your mask, place the mask over the ears first, then secure the hook-and-loop straps under the jowl. Ensure the fit is snug enough to prevent flies from entering but loose enough for the horse to blink comfortably. Attach your preferred nose piece using the designated strong Velcro patches. For care, hand wash the mask in cool, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the mesh and the Velcro closure. Avoid machine washing as it can degrade the elastic and the stiffener in the mesh over time. Allow the mask to air dry completely before reattaching it to the horse.
