Weaver Leather Xtend Close Fly Mask with Nose and Ear Cover, Reflective Piping - Large

Stop the cycle of torn masks and sun-scorched noses with the ultimate shield for your large equine partner. The Weaver Xtend Close Fly Mask combines revolutionary durability with full-face protection, ensuring your horse stays fly-free and comfortable from dawn until dusk.

Developed in collaboration with seasoned horseman Brett Mills of R.E.S. Equine, this mask is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily pasture life while prioritizing equine wellness. It features a patent-pending replaceable closure system that not only extends the life of the gear but also doubles as an innovative fly-repellent pad. Crafted with high-visibility breathable gray mesh and plush polar fleece edges, this mask eliminates the common rubbing issues associated with standard fly protection while maintaining a sleek, contoured fit that stays secure during turnout.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Xtended Life Closure System: Features a unique, replaceable closure that doubles as an absorbent pad; owners can soak it in fly spray to repel pests without applying chemicals directly to the horse's sensitive skin.
• Full Coverage Protection: Includes integrated mesh ears and an extended nose piece to provide 360-degree protection against biting insects and harmful UV rays.

• Reflective Safety Piping: Enhanced with reflective piping over the nose for increased visibility and safety during low-light conditions or evening turnout.
• Contoured Neck Design: Features a streamlined, contoured neck for a professional fit that prevents "mask-flipping" while allowing full range of motion for grazing.
• Breathable Mesh Construction: The durable gray mesh allows for maximum airflow and clear vision while keeping even the smallest gnats and midges at bay.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this mask suitable for horses with white faces or pink skin?

Q: How does the chemical-free bug control work?
A: You can soak the absorbent Xtend closure pad in your favorite fly spray to create a powerful repellent "shield" around the face, effectively deterring insects without the need to apply irritating topical sprays directly to your horse's skin.

Q: Will the "Large" size fit a horse with a very broad forehead?
A: Yes, the Large size is specifically scaled for horses in the 1,100–1,400 lbs range, offering the anatomical width and length required for larger breeds and horses with more substantial facial structures.
