FAQs

How often should I clean the fly mask?

It is recommended to clean the mask regularly, ideally after each week of use, or more frequently if it becomes soiled. Hand washing in cool water with mild detergent and air drying is best.

What is the UV protection percentage?

The mask offers over 60% protection against harmful UV rays.

Can this mask be worn while riding?

Yes, the mask is designed for comfort and protection during various activities, including riding, provided it fits securely and does not impede vision.

What is the purpose of the structured darts?

The six structured darts are designed to lift the mask away from the horse's eyes, preventing rubbing and irritation while maintaining clear vision.

How does the closure system work?

It uses an elasticated sandwich-style touch tape closure that allows for a secure, adjustable, and customizable fit under the horse's jaw.

Are the ear and nose sections breathable?

Yes, the mask features ultra-soft mesh ears and a shaped nose piece designed for proper airflow, promoting ventilation and keeping the horse comfortable.

What material is the mask made from?

The mask is crafted from durable fine mesh for protection, with fleece binding for comfort and 3D mesh ventilation over the poll.

Troubleshooting

Mask is slipping or loose

Adjust the touch tape closure to be tighter. Ensure the mask is the correct size for the horse; a mask that is too large may slip.

Horse seems irritated by the mask

Check for any rubbing points, especially around the ears or nose. Ensure no debris is trapped under the fleece binding. Verify the size and fit are correct and not constricting.

Mesh appears damaged or torn

Inspect for signs of wear or damage. If torn, the protective integrity may be compromised, and replacement may be necessary. Handle with care during cleaning.

Reduced visibility for the horse

Ensure the eye darts are correctly positioned and not pressing against the horse's eyes. Clean the mesh if it is dirty or obscured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the mask is the correct size for your horse. Refer to sizing charts provided by WeatherBeeta.
  2. Gently place the mask over the horse's head, ensuring the eye darts are positioned correctly.
