Description
Hy Equestrian Armoured Protect Aeroflex Fly Mask With Ears
The Hy Equestrian Armoured Protect Aeroflex Fly Mask is a lightweight turnout fly mask with integrated ear coverage, structured eye domes and 50% UV protection. It is best for horses and ponies living out through the fly season, and for any horse that needs shade and insect defence around the eyes, face and ears.
The AeroFlex fabric gives a close, second-skin fit that moves with the horse rather than flapping, while a zip fastening with a protective cover over the puller keeps fitting quick and rub-free.

How to Use
- Measure your horse from the poll to the muzzle and around the jaw, then choose the closest size - pony, cob or full.
- Open the zip fully and slide the mask over the muzzle and up the face.
- Ease the ears into the integrated ear pockets one at a time.
- Close the zip and settle the protective cover over the puller so it sits away from the skin.
- Check that the eye domes clear the eyelashes and the mask sits clear of the cheekbones, with two fingers of room at the fastening.
- Remove daily to inspect the face for rubs and to brush away dust and dried mud.
FAQ
How much UV protection does this fly mask give?
It provides 50% UV protection, helping guard against harmful sun rays during turnout in brighter conditions.
Does it cover the ears?
Yes. Integrated ear coverage offers additional defence against flies and biting insects around the ears.
Will the mask touch my horse's eyes?
Strongly structured eye domes create generous clearance over the eyes and help the mask hold its shape, so contact and irritation are reduced. Always check that the domes sit clear of the eyelashes when fitted.
What size should I order?
Sizing runs pony, cob and full. Measure from the poll to the muzzle and around the jaw and choose the closest match - a mask that is too large will slip and one that is too small may rub, which are the two most common reasons masks are returned.
How does it fasten?
With a secure zip, and a protective cover sits over the puller to prevent rubbing and improve safety.
How do I wash it?
Brush off dried mud, close the zip, then rinse or hand wash in cool water and dry naturally away from direct heat.
