FAQs

What level of UV protection does the mask offer?

The mask provides 75% UV protection through its heavier-duty silver mesh.

Can I machine wash the fly mask?

Yes, the mask is machine washable up to 30 degrees Celsius. However, hand washing with mild detergent is recommended for optimal longevity.

How should I dry the fly mask?

Air dry the mask near a heat source. Do not tumble dry.

What is the purpose of the bamboo lining?

The soft, breathable bamboo lining strips across the brow and nose help to prevent rubbing and increase comfort for the horse.

Is this a full face fly mask?

No, this is a half fly mask, designed to cover the eyes, cheeks, and ears, leaving the muzzle exposed.

What is the new forelock slit for?

The new forelock slit is designed to improve the comfort and security of the mask, preventing it from shifting and ensuring a better fit.

How does the fit differ from previous models?

The new Armour Shield Pro features a more generous fit over the eye darts, around the cheeks, and across the headpiece, allowing for greater stand-off from the face and increased coverage.

Troubleshooting

Mask seems too loose or slips down.

Adjust the elasticated headpiece and throat strap for a closer fit. Ensure the forelock is correctly positioned in the slit. Check that the mask size is appropriate for your horse's head.

Horse is rubbing the mask.

Verify the fit is not too tight, especially around the ears and cheeks. Ensure the bamboo lining is clean and free of debris. Confirm the generous fit is providing adequate clearance.

Mesh appears damaged or torn.

Inspect the mesh regularly. Small tears may occur with wear; for significant damage, replacement is recommended to maintain protective effectiveness.

Mask retains a smell.

Wash the mask according to care instructions. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before storing or re-using.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against flies and UV rays (75% UV protection).
  • Improved fit design reduces pressure points and enhances comfort.
  • Soft bamboo lining prevents rubbing on sensitive areas.
  • Breathable mesh ears offer protection without overheating.
  • Secure fastening system ensures the mask stays in place.

Cons

  • Hand wash recommended for best care, though machine washing is possible.
  • The 75% UV protection may not be sufficient for extremely sensitive horses requiring higher levels.
  • Requires careful fitting to ensure the generous design doesn't cause the mask to slip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure the mask is correctly sized for your horse. Fasten the elasticated headpiece and the Velcro throat strap, ensuring a snug but not tight fit. The forelock should sit comfortably within the dedicated slit.

Compatibility: This half mask is designed for general use on horses. Ensure it fits well with any other tack being used, such as bridles or halters, to avoid interference or discomfort.

Care:

  • Washing: Hand wash is recommended using a mild detergent. The mask is also machine washable up to 30 degrees Celsius. Use a washing tablet or capsule.
  • Drying: Air dry the mask away from direct heat sources. *Never* tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and shape.
