The X-Spand® Lycra Jaw makes this the most comfortable fly mask available! The form-fitting design leaves no gaps for insects to get through and does not restrict your horse’s natural grazing motion. With this fly mask, you’ll discover your horse can move their jaw naturally without restriction, staying comfortable all day. U.S. Patent # 16/850,106
Soft Mesh Ears for Extra Protection
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.
Forelock Saver Design to Keep Your Horse’s Eye Clear
This forelock-saver design keeps your horse’s forelock pulled out of the mask, keeping it out of your horse’s eyes. Whether you select with or without ears, both versions will keep your horse’s forelock-free!
Easy On and Off with Secure Closure
This mask easily slides on your horse’s head and secures on their poll like a halter with a reflective hook and loop closure at the poll, allowing for size adjustment and extra security.
Added Reflective Trim for Safety
For extra safety precautions, we’ve added reflective trim along the mask and on the hook and loop closure to enhance visibility in low-light and dark scenarios.

Reviews
Great Concept But Short Lifespan
"I have two of these fly masks. There are so many reasons to love them — the visibility for my senior and no restriction to the jaw when grazing. The downside is that that stretch material disintegrates over time. I’ve had the masks for one full summer and now we’ve finished the second summer but the masks are done because the Lycra has slowly fallen apart. It’s a pricey mask for short life span. Concept is great — hope they improve the material under the jaw."
x span mosquito mask
"fits well, holds its form well, my horse loves it! The under the jaw stretch material is not a sweaty hard mess like other masks and the top velcro is really adjustable."
Actually Stays On
"I have lost several fly masks, but so far my mare hasn't been able to get this one off! In fact I think she may even like it. The Velcro over the poll is genius, and the stretchy jaw makes a world of difference as far as fit goes. She has a petite little face and this mask fits her to a T and protects her from bugs. She does get sweaty under the fleece, but we live in Houston so there's no way to avoid the heat. I'm very pleased with this mask!"
Nice mask but doesn’t fit my horse
"I like this mask a lot. I typically buy the stretchy bug eye style but wanted to explore this style. I like the stretch under the jaw to not impede natural chewing. The fit issue is that my mare has a big-boned head, big eyes, and long eyelashes (she’s an Iberian / mustang cross), and this was touching her eyes too much. If you have a horse with a more delicate-boned head or smaller eyes this would be a great option. I’m keeping it and storing it in my stash of horse stuff for a future horse, lol. For my mare I’ll stick with the bug-eye ones; I bought one those from Schneiders with a butterfly print and we love it! Much more durable than the main competitor."
Great mask!
"Fits great, easy to put on and best of all it washes well!!!"
Great Option
"My horse is picky about fly masks, and has an unusual sized head. This has been the mask he likes best. Not having the Velcro on the bottom makes it a little awkward to put on but the stretchy soft material there seems to make the comfort difference for the horse. I think the blue mesh may also be something my horse prefers, maybe it is easier to see through? My only complaint is the white fleece trim - instantly not white anymore! lol."
Best mask!
"Love this new mask! Fits best on my QH gelding. With the forelock saver even better. Please make one with a nose too!"
Nice Flymask
"Nice fly mask, the stretch panel on the bottom is heavy duty. I was a little disappointed with the quality, but its breathable. I did expect it to be a little more durable but overall its nice. I have a horse that is in between cob and Full and this is too big on her but I can at least make the Velcro tighter overall cool concept!"
Great product, wish there was bigger size options
"The mask is a very cool concept and I love every aspect. I have 2 warmbloods and an OTTB - this mask does not fit any of my horses unfortunately and even impedes the eyelashes on both my warmbloods. I had to return these items - would buy them again but they do not offer larger sizing."
