FAQs

How do I know if I have the correct size mask?

The mask should fit snugly without being tight. It should not impede vision, breathing, or create pressure points around the eyes, ears, or face. Consult the brand's sizing guide and measure your horse's head if unsure.

How often should I clean the fly mask?

Clean the mask as needed, depending on how dirty it becomes. Regular cleaning helps maintain visibility and hygiene. Rinsing after each use in dusty conditions is recommended.

Will this mask protect my horse from sunburn?

Yes, the mask offers 70+% UV blocking, which helps diminish the risk of sunburn and sun bleaching on sensitive areas of the horse's face.

Does the nose fringe hinder grazing?

No, the nose fringe is designed to move with the horse and deter flies while allowing for normal grazing behavior. The fine mesh itself does not obstruct grazing.

How durable is the fine mesh?

The mask is designed for durability in the field, but the fine mesh can be susceptible to snagging on fences or rough surfaces. Handle with care to prolong its lifespan.

What is the effectiveness of the UV protection over time?

The UV blocking effectiveness may diminish over time with prolonged use and exposure to the elements. Regular inspection for wear is advised.

Can this mask be used in wet weather?

While the mask offers insect protection, it is primarily designed for dry conditions. The fine mesh may hold water, so allow it to dry thoroughly after exposure to moisture.

Troubleshooting

Mask is slipping or too loose.

Adjust the quick-fit secure straps for a tighter fit. Ensure the correct size mask has been selected for the horse's head.

Horse appears uncomfortable or rubbing.

Check that the contour comfort fit is not pressing on any sensitive areas. Ensure straps are not overtightened. Verify the mask is the correct size and shape for the horse.

Mesh appears damaged or torn.

Inspect the mask for damage. If the fine mesh is torn, it may no longer provide adequate protection and may need to be replaced.

Visibility seems reduced.

Ensure the mesh is clean and free of debris. Check that the 3D eye visor is correctly positioned and not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the mask is the correct size for your horse. The quick-fit secure straps should be adjusted to provide a snug but not tight fit. The mask should rest comfortably without impeding vision or breathing. The contour fit should allow for freedom of movement around the eyes and ears.

Compatibility: This mask is designed for horses and is available in various sizes to fit different head shapes. It is compatible with turnout and stable environments.

Care: The mask is made from easy-care fabrics. It can typically be hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fine mesh and fabric. Periodically check the straps and seams for any signs of wear.
