Lycra Fly Mask

The Lycra Fly Mask is great for pest and sun protection for the face area. It is soft and comfortable. Made with an easy on/off zipper from chin to jowl.

"Finally a good comfortable, stretchy, cool mask that the horse can see through and is safe to wear overnight because they have such great vision with this mask. Very well made and rinses and dries quickly. Great product. I have two and will buy more when I need them. Oh, I did cut the ears off as bugs don't bother their ears where I live."

"My horse loves this mask as he can see through it easily and it's comfortable around the eyes. It does run a little on the small size. Overall this is a good value. I like it so much that I just bought another one for my other horse."

"...i purchased the horse size (L) and it is a little bit big for my horse. Wanted it to really fit snug and it ended up loose around his throat area. Was afraid to order the cob size (M), but it might have fit a bit snugger (is that even a word?) In the future, if you have a smallish horse, order the smaller size...Also, it would be better if the nose area was longer so it covered more."

"Fresh out of the package, this fly mask seems like a really good idea. It fits snug on the face, which is why I purchased it, for about the first hour. As soon as your horse begins opening and closing his mouth to yawn, chew, drink, etc. it stretches out the lower part of the fly mask. The mesh seems to be decent quality, but is very baggy and wants to rest on my ghorse's eyes. There is no "poof" to keep it away from her eyes. They don't seem to be very durable just because of the delicate material. Seems like it would be a good option for travel."

"I put this on my large TB and within 5 minutes he had managed to completely take it off. I had thought the zipper and lycra would help my houdini keep the mask on but- nope! Came right off! Very disappointing. :("

"What's not to like about it? This mask fits nice and snug (but not too snug!) so there are no gaps between it and my horse's face/ears. It's very easy to slip on and off -- no real need for the included zipper underneath the jowl. The mesh over the face and ears is soft and fine, so it provides great protection from bothersome flies while preserving my horse's vision and hearing. It's also easily cleaned -- I just slip it off, turn it inside out, and rinse it with a hose ... hang it up to drip dry, and it's wearable again in an hour. And all this for less than $20! Can't beat that!!!"

"My horse has a difficult head shape to fit for a flymask. I thought this would be the solution, as the mask can poof away from his eyes, which are prominent upward, combined with his broad forehead, deep-ish jowls, but short faced.
The mask fit him pretty well, allowed his eyes plenty of freedom... but he learned how to slip it off over his head in a few days. In the process, he stretched out the already nicely stretchy openings, so now it gaps badly at the bottom.
Overall, a good idea, but i still haven't found a mask to work for him.

"bought the cob for my WB who is big cob/small horse size in bridles. Seemed well made. Can't speak to durability- she had it off in minutes- several nights in a row. I gave up and went back to the regular fly mask."

"Love the soft, tight fit of the lycra in the flymask so gnats and flies can't sneek up under the noseband or down inside the brow band area. Netting was loose and soft around eyes so it won't scratch eye area. Really like the security of the tight fit."

"I just got this in tonight, and it is defective, the thin netting is sewn into the seam where the lycra starts, right dead center. I was really hoping to use this mask this weekend as I already tossed my old cashel mask out. I rated it average because I cant try it out, but it seems nice. Zipper has a velcro latch to prevent it from comming unzipped, the lycra is smooth, like a sleezy for the face. Its open and airy where the netting is, and the ears dont look huge like our old mask. The way this looks like it fits, i think it would be near impossible to get a fly inside the mask, it looks like its going to be form fitting. I am returning it for a new one."

"These are great! I love how they are lightweight and really sheer. They are easy to put on and my QH's all take a Large. Some other masks hinder the horses view a lot because of the fabric used but these are really really sheer and they don't hinder eyesight at all. I really recommend these and the price is great too. So far they haven't ripped or fallen to bits. They wash well too just rinse and dry."
