Durable UV-Protective Fly Mask

Constructed from resilient fine mesh polyester, this earless horse fly mask delivers certified UV protection (BS EN 13758-1:2002 and A1:2006), optimal breathability, and long-lasting wear. At 95 g and approx. 48 cm (nose to poll), it balances minimal weight with structural integrity. Features include stretch poll elasticity, microfleece padding at pressure points, reinforced darts for facial definition, and dual touch-and-close fastenings. Finished with soft fleece trim and a two-tone colour scheme featuring discreet logo branding. The fine mesh acts as a mechanical barrier — small enough to exclude flies and midges, yet open enough to sustain airflow and preserve sight. UV filtration protects against photodermatitis and pigment loss, especially on lightly pigmented skin. The earless layout supports natural thermoregulation and avoids interference with auditory awareness — critical for safety in group turnout or unfamiliar environments. Recommended for use during high-risk periods: May–August in southern UK, extending into September in milder regions. Frequently chosen by livery yard owners, competition yards, and retirees seeking reliable, low-maintenance protection without veterinary intervention. Compatible with most fly sprays and topical treatments applied prior to masking.
