Weaver Leather Fly Mask with Replaceable Xtended Life Closure

Stop Replacing Fly Masks — Just Replace the Strap

You've been through it before: a perfectly good fly mask with worn-out Velcro that won't hold anymore. Weaver Leather's Xtended Life Closure System solves that problem with a patented replaceable strap that extends the life of your mask by seasons, not weeks. The gray mesh body stays intact while you swap out the closure when it gets loaded with hay and hair — no more throwing away masks that still have plenty of life left in them.

Designed for sensitive horses and built for the long haul, this mask combines breathable gray mesh with plush polar fleece edges to prevent rubbing, plus reflective nose piping for dawn and dusk visibility. The closure strap doubles as a fly spray absorbent surface — spray the strap, not your horse's face — making this ideal for horses that flinch at direct application.

Why Riders Choose Weaver Xtended Life Fly Mask

• Replaceable closure strap extends mask life for years — Swap out the Velcro strap when it loses grip instead of replacing the entire mask, saving money and reducing waste season after season.
• Absorbent fly spray patch keeps repellent off sensitive skin — The closure material soaks up spray and creates a protective zone around the face without direct contact, perfect for head-shy horses.
• Reflective piping boosts low-light visibility — Integrated reflective trim over the nose makes evening pasture checks and early-morning turnout safer.
• Polar fleece edging prevents hair loss and rubbing — Soft fleece lining at every seam eliminates friction on sensitive areas like the poll and cheekbones.
• Weight-based sizing ensures anatomical fit — Available in Small (500–800 lbs), Medium (800–1,100 lbs), and Large (1,100–1,400 lbs) to fit ponies through warmbloods without shifting during grazing.
• Breathable gray mesh keeps horses cool in heat — Lightweight construction allows airflow while blocking flies, gnats, and UV rays.

Best For

Horse owners tired of replacing fly masks every season looking for long-term durability and a solution for spray-sensitive horses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the replaceable strap actually work?

The Velcro closure strap detaches completely from the mask body. When it gets clogged with debris or loses its grip, you order a replacement strap and attach it to the existing mask — the mesh and fleece construction stays intact for years. It's a five-minute fix that eliminates the need to buy a whole new mask.

Q: Can I really apply fly spray to the mask instead of my horse's face?

Yes. The closure material is designed to absorb and hold fly repellent, creating a chemical barrier around the eyes and face without direct application to skin. This is a game-changer for horses that throw their heads or panic at spray bottles. Just mist the strap before turnout.

Q: What's the difference between the three sizes?

Weaver sizes by weight, not breed generalizations. Small fits 500–800 lbs (ponies, small Arabians), Medium fits 800–1,100 lbs (average quarter horses, Morgans), and Large fits 1,100–1,400 lbs (warmbloods, drafts). Measure your horse's weight or use a weight tape for the most accurate fit — the anatomical shaping adjusts to individual head shapes within each range.
