The LeMieux Diamante Acoustic Fly Hood is designed for horses sensitive to sharp noises, offering a significant benefit in increased concentration and relaxation through noise absorption. While it provides exceptional comfort with its bamboo lining and a stylish touch with diamantes, its specialized acoustic properties mean it's best suited for specific use cases rather than general fly protection.

The Acoustic feature uses a dense sound-proof micro-foam layer to absorb sharp noises, helping to reduce distractions and anxiety for the horse, leading to increased concentration and relaxation.
While it covers the ears, its primary design is for acoustic dampening. For comprehensive fly protection, you might consider pairing it with other deterrents or using a dedicated fly mask.
It is machine washable at a low temperature, preferably 30 degrees Celsius. Using a wash bag is recommended to protect the fabric and embellishments. Always air dry.
Yes, it is British Dressage legal and features diamante detailing, making it suitable for competition wear.
The inner lining is made of ultra-soft bamboo, which enhances comfort and provides moisture-wicking properties.
No, absolutely not. Tumble drying can damage the acoustic foam and the fabric. Always air dry, preferably near a heat source but out of direct, intense heat.
The bamboo lining helps with breathability and moisture-wicking. While the acoustic layer adds some insulation, it is generally designed for comfort. Monitor your horse in warmer conditions to ensure they are not overheating.
Ensure the hood is the correct size and fitted properly. Check for any pinching or rubbing, especially around the ears. The Lycra should provide a snug but not tight fit.
Ensure the acoustic foam layer is clean and undamaged. Follow washing instructions carefully to avoid compromising the material's integrity. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during drying.
Always wash inside a wash bag. Avoid vigorous washing cycles and direct high heat for drying. If minor loosening occurs, gentle hand-sewing can re-secure them.
Setup: The LeMieux Diamante Acoustic Fly Hood is designed for immediate use. Ensure it fits snugly but comfortably around your horse's ears and forelock. The Lycra outer aids in achieving a secure fit.
Compatibility: This fly hood is designed to be British Dressage legal and suitable for a wide range of horse head shapes due to its flexible Lycra construction. It is intended to be worn on its own or potentially under a bridle, depending on the specific bridle design and rider preference.
