Weaver Leather Xtend Close Fly Mask with Replaceable Closure

Full-Face Fly Protection That Actually Lasts More Than One Season

Most fly masks wear out at the closure long before the mesh gives up — you've probably replaced dozens over the years. The Weaver Leather Xtend Close Fly Mask flips that script with a patent-pending replaceable Velcro system, so you swap out worn fasteners instead of the entire mask. Developed with horseman Brett Mills, this full-coverage mask includes ear and nose protection, polar fleece lining to prevent rubbing, and an absorbent closure patch that holds fly spray — keeping repellent away from sensitive skin while creating a localized barrier around your horse's face.

Built with breathable gray mesh and reflective nose piping for low-light visibility, this mask is sized for Cobs, large ponies, and refined breeds. The contoured neck design allows natural grazing movement, and the lightweight upper panel maximizes airflow on hot days. If you're tired of buying the same mask every June, this one's engineered to go the distance.

Why Riders Choose the Weaver Xtend Close Fly Mask

• Replaceable closure system extends lifespan — Swap out worn Velcro fasteners instead of replacing the entire mask, saving money and reducing waste season after season.
• Absorbent fly spray patch keeps repellent off skin — Apply spray directly to the soakable closure material for targeted protection without irritating eyes or sensitive facial areas.
• Full ear and nose coverage for high-insect environments — Essential UV defense for white-faced horses and comprehensive protection against midges and biting flies in heavy turnout conditions.
• Polar fleece lining prevents rubbing and hair loss — Soft edges eliminate the chafing common with cheaper masks, keeping your horse comfortable all day.
• Reflective piping improves dawn and dusk visibility — Safety feature for horses turned out in low-light hours or near roadways.
• Breathable mesh with contoured fit — Lightweight construction and neck contouring allow natural grazing movement without restriction or overheating.

Best For

Owners of Cobs, large ponies, or refined breeds looking for a long-lasting fly mask that eliminates the annual replacement cycle and provides full-face protection without chemical contact with skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if the Small size will fit my horse?

The Small size works best for Cobs, large ponies, and refined breeds like smaller Arabians, with a nose circumference around 19 inches and throat latch of approximately 29 inches. Weaver Leather fly masks run generous, so if your horse is between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a more secure fit that stays put during turnout.

Q: Can I really replace just the closure, or do I need special tools?

The Xtend closure system is designed for easy replacement — no special tools required. When the Velcro wears out after a season or two of heavy use, you simply detach the old closure strip and attach a new one. Replacement closures are available separately, and the process takes about two minutes.

Q: Will this mask work for a horse with sensitive skin or fly allergies?

Yes. The polar fleece-lined edges prevent the rubbing and hair loss that irritate sensitive horses, and the absorbent closure patch lets you apply fly spray to the mask itself rather than directly on your horse's face. This keeps repellent chemicals away from eyes and skin while still creating an effective barrier against biting insects.
