Key benefits
The Most Durable Mesh Fabric That’s Breathable for Hot Weather
This fly mask is made from our most durable, see-through 1000D poly vinyl Dura Mesh fabric. Our Dura-Mesh provides better airflow and 70% UV protection to protect your horse's sensitive eyes. The fabric offers the best protection against medium to large-sized biting insects, such as deer flies, greenheads, and horse flies and offers exceptional airflow to horses that live in a moderate to hot climate. The soft mesh ears keep even the smallest flys and biting insects out of your horse's sensitive ears. The fleece-covered elastic binding around the nose and crown ensures a comfortable fit and reduces rub points, even if worn for long hours.
Choose Between Ears or Without Ears for a Comfortable Horse
With the Dura-Mesh Solid Fly Mask, you can choose to have ear protection or not! When your horse is irritated by biting insects flying around their ears, a fly mask WITH ear coverage can help! The soft mesh ears keep the pesky flies away, allowing your horse to remain bug-free and comfortable.
If your horse has sensitive ears, they may be irritated by fly masks that have ear coverage. This mask WITHOUT Ears provides your horse with the same great insect protection to their face and eyes but keeps their ears free, allowing your horse to be more comfortable.
A Safe and Secure Fit
There are two hook and loop closures, one under the cheek/chin and one throatlatch, for the best fit. Plus, we included a slot at the poll to allow neck cover attachment.

Reviews
Fly Mask
"These fly masks have been fairly durable for our horses who play pretty rough. They do run a little big though, so they didn't fit all of our horses the way I had hoped. I do really like the fuzzy edges and how much coverage underneath it has! Definitely a solid fly mask!!"
Fits the mustang
"I purchased this mask for my mammoth donkey. Unfortunately it did not fit. Luckily I also have a adobe town mustang, the mask fits well and I am confident it will do very well!"
mesh color
"White mesh reflects the light and is hard to see thru, while black is much easier to see. through. That's why the chain link fencing at places like the zoo are all painted black so the public can see the exhibit. If you will make the mesh black I will buy them."

This fly mask fits nicely,
"This fly mask fits nicely, and so far my horse hasn't gotten it off."
Fly Mask Perfection
"I have an extremely senior mare that is completely blind. Flies, dirt, the sun, you name it and it bothers her eyes. This mask has been magical in helping keep her eyes clean, fly free, and more mobile during the sunlight hours. Because the sun hurts her eyes she was staying in the shade all day - not anymore though! As an added bonus she hasn’t been able to rub it off yet and trust me she has tried."
