Weaver Leather Lycra Fly Mask with Mesh Ears & UV Protection

Second-Skin Fly Protection That Stays Put All Summer

Traditional fly masks slide, gap, and get rubbed off in the first hour of turnout — leaving your horse vulnerable to eye irritation and relentless summer pests. The Weaver Leather Lycra® Fly Mask solves this with a 4-way stretch design that hugs your horse's face like a second skin, blocking even the smallest gnats while maintaining 100% visibility and airflow. No Velcro, no hardware, no rubbed-off masks at the gate.

Made from lightweight Lycra® spandex with fine mesh eye and ear panels, this mask delivers the secure, gap-free fit you need for horses that spend long days outside or struggle with insect-bite hypersensitivity. The elasticized binding conforms to your horse's unique head shape, creating a seal that keeps flies out without creating pressure points or obstructing vision. Riders who've fought the mask-removal battle know: this one actually stays on.

Why Riders Choose the Weaver Lycra Fly Mask

• Gap-free fit that blocks gnats and midges — 4-way stretch Lycra® creates a snug seal at the face, preventing insects from crawling underneath the way traditional masks allow.
• 100% visibility with fine mesh protection — High-airflow mesh over eyes and ears keeps flies off while maintaining clear sightlines, so your horse moves confidently in turnout or under saddle.
• Secure pull-on design that resists rubbing off — Elasticized binding stays in place without Velcro closures or hardware that horses quickly learn to remove on fence posts.
• Lightweight comfort for all-day wear — Breathable spandex eliminates the bulk and skin abrasion of heavy-duty masks, reducing sweat buildup and rub marks around the face.
• UV protection for light-sensitive eyes — Essential barrier for horses with photo-sensitivity or those recovering from eye injuries, providing shade without compromising vision.
• Under-bridle compatible for riding — Low-profile, hardware-free construction allows you to ride with fly-free focus on the trail or in the arena.

Best For

Horse owners battling mask-removal or dealing with insect-bite hypersensitivity looking for secure, all-day fly protection that won't slide, gap, or get rubbed off in turnout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size if my horse is between weight classes?

Size down if your horse falls between weight ranges. The high-stretch Lycra® fabric accommodates head shape variations, and a snugger fit ensures the gap-free seal that keeps gnats and midges out. Small fits 500–800 lbs, Medium/Average fits 800–1,100 lbs, and Large/Warmblood fits 1,100–1,400 lbs.

Q: Can this mask be worn during riding or just in turnout?

Absolutely — the low-profile, hardware-free design makes this Weaver Leather Lycra Fly Mask ideal for riding under a bridle. Trail riders and arena trainers use it to keep flies off their horse's face during work without adding bulk or obstructing the bridle fit.

Q: Will this mask stay on a horse that rubs off traditional fly masks?

Yes. The elasticized pull-on design eliminates the Velcro and hardware that horses quickly learn to hook on fence posts. The 4-way stretch creates a secure, comfortable fit that's significantly harder to remove than traditional hook-and-loop masks, even for persistent rubbers.
