Weaver Leather Coolcore Fly Mask - Cooling Lycra with UV Protection

Lower Your Horse's Skin Temperature While Fighting Flies

Summer heat plus relentless flies equals a miserable horse. The Weaver Leather Coolcore Fly Mask breaks that cycle with patented Coolcore Lycra that actively cools skin through moisture-wicking fiber geometry — no chemical coatings that wash out after a few cycles. This is a mask that works harder the hotter it gets, dropping skin temp while blocking UV rays and biting insects from eyes and ears.

Unlike stiff traditional mesh that rubs and slides, this stretchy second-skin design moves with your horse and stays put without heavy hardware. Fine mesh panels provide unobstructed visibility for safe grazing and turnout, while bound edges eliminate pressure points on sensitive faces. Available in weight-based sizes (Small 500–800 lbs, Medium 800–1,100 lbs, Large 1,100–1,400 lbs) for a rub-free fit that doesn't shift during rollouts or head-shaking.

Why Riders Choose the Coolcore Fly Mask

• Permanent cooling technology — Patented fiber geometry wicks moisture and regulates temperature for the life of the mask, with no chemical treatments to fade or wash out.
• Weight-based precision fit — Three size options ensure stretchy Lycra contours to your horse's head without gaps or rubs, even on ponies and warmbloods.
• UV and pest defense for sensitive horses — Fine mesh blocks harmful rays and biting insects from eyes and ears, critical for pink-skinned horses prone to sunburn and irritation.
• Gentle on head-shy horses — Soft, bound edges and no stiff Velcro mean no sores on the bridge of the nose or behind the ears, ideal for horses that resist traditional masks.
• Clear visibility for safe turnout — High-clarity mesh allows your horse to see ground obstacles and herd mates while maintaining a physical barrier against gnats and flies.
• Machine-washable durability — Throw it in the wash after muddy turnout; cooling and UV protection remain 100% effective, load after load.

Best For

Owners of sensitive or pink-skinned horses looking for rub-free cooling and UV protection that lasts all summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?

Size by weight for the best fit with this stretchy material. Small fits 500–800 lbs (ponies and cobs), Medium fits 800–1,100 lbs (average Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds), and Large fits 1,100–1,400 lbs (warmbloods and draft crosses). The Lycra fabric conforms to head shape, so weight is a more reliable guide than traditional head measurements.

Q: Will the cooling effect disappear after washing?

No. The Weaver Leather Coolcore Fly Mask uses fiber geometry built into the material itself, not a spray-on chemical treatment. That means the moisture-wicking and cooling properties remain effective for the entire lifetime of the mask, no matter how many times you wash it.

Q: Is this mask suitable for horses that are prone to rubs or sores?

Yes, this is one of the best options for sensitive horses. The lightweight, stretchy Lycra and bound edges eliminate the heavy Velcro closures and stiff mesh panels that typically cause pressure sores on the bridge of the nose or behind the ears. Many head-shy horses tolerate this mask when they've refused others.
