Runs small
"Quality of the mask itself is good, however it runs very small. A size full is closer to a size cob so I wasnt able to use this for the horse I bought it for. The elastic is also much stiffer than I thought it'd be, not very stretchy."

Key benefits
All-Day Comfort with Total Insect Protection
The comfort is in the details, starting with the ultra-breathable mesh and smart shaping. This fly mask flexes naturally with your horse’s movements, offering unrestricted comfort while defending against even the smallest bugs. Ideal for moderate to warm climates, it’s a breathable solution that keeps your horse happy in the heat.
Snug Fit, Natural Movement
What makes this mask truly special is the patented X-Spand® Lycra Jaw. This form-fitting design stretches gently around the jawline, eliminating gaps where bugs could sneak in, without restricting chewing or grazing. It moves with your horse, not against them, so they stay protected and comfortable all day long.
Customizable Coverage from Nose to Ears
Your horse deserves tailored protection, and this mask delivers. The extended mosquito mesh nose blocks harsh sunlight and biting bugs, while the soft mesh ears offer an optional layer of defense. You can remove the nosepiece when needed, giving you flexibility for changing seasons or horse preferences.
Keeps the Forelock Out of Their Eyes
No more tangled hair or vision obstruction. The forelock-saver design keeps your horse's forelock pulled out of the way, maintaining comfort and clear sightlines all day long.
Quick On, Secure Fit
Designed for daily ease, this mask slides on like a halter and fastens at the poll with a reflective hook and loop closure. It adjusts easily for a snug yet comfy fit that stays in place during turnout or play.
Visibility That Goes the Extra Mile
For those early mornings or late evenings, the reflective trim adds an extra layer of safety. Whether your horse is out in low light or you're heading in from the pasture, they'll be easier to spot thanks to high-visibility accents.

Reviews
Stays on. Great price point!
"I originally purchased this OTTB that always gets rubbed marks on the side of her face and under her jaw. She has a giant head! But it was too tight on her and the largest size available. So I gave it to my old man Tennessee walking horse and it fits perfect. The darts stay out and away from the eyes and I have arthritis and it’s very easy to pull the Velcro on and off with a little tab. That is very much appreciated. Easy to wash and I will be purchasing another for him so I can interchange the both when it’s time to clean them. ! Great product, super price point. I’m happy and everybody at the Barn is asking where did you get that fly mask."
Stays on, stitching undone
"This has been the one fly mask my horse has not removed this year. The stitching underneath the jaw in the elastic part has been coming apart after a few weeks. I think I can repair it myself. Will probably order this again."
Fly Mask
"This is a well made mask which was easy to fit to each horse and they seem to like it. The jaw band ,IMO, makes a comfortable fit."
Love these!
"I ordered 3 of these for my horses, and I love them! They go on like a halter, and are easier to put on. Everything that touches the horse is soft and comfortable. I’ve washed them several times in my washing machine and they hold up great! Highly recommend!"
"Very well made. Doesn’t rub. Secure. Keeps the gnats/mosquitos off."
"Love this. Stays on my horse even while players with his friends. Also goes all the way to the end of his nose so he doesnt fey sunburn."
Fly mask
"It is not snug enough. My horse will not keep it on."
My gelding is hyper-sensitive to
"My gelding is hyper-sensitive to bug bites and has worn this mask for 3 summers, and gets great protection on his face"
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."
