LeMieux Kudos Aeroguard Half Fly Mask for Horses
Description
Kudos Aeroguard Half Fly Mask - Breathable Summer Fly Protection
The Kudos Aeroguard Half Fly Mask is a breathable half-face fly mask that shields a horse's eyes and ears from flies and insects during turnout. It is best for horses and ponies living out or grazing by day through fly season, when irritation around the eyes and ears is at its worst.
Built from 3D mesh panels with fleece-edged contact points, it is designed to stay put and stay comfortable all day rather than being pulled off in the field. Browse more fly masks and fly protection for the rest of the summer kit.
Key Features
- 3D mesh panels around the ears, nose and under the cheeks promote airflow for greater comfort in warm weather

How to Use
- Measure your horse from poll to muzzle and around the jaw, then match to your usual headcollar size (pony, cob or full).
- Slide the forelock through the forelock slit so the mask sits square on the head.
- Position the eye domes so the mesh stands clear of the eyelashes and the browband sits below the ears.
- Fasten the closure so it is snug but allows two fingers between the strap and the jaw.
- Check fit after ten minutes of turnout and adjust if the mask slips or twists.
- Remove daily to inspect the skin, eyes and ears, and shake out dirt and grass seeds.
FAQ
What size fly mask does my horse need?
Choose the size that matches your horse's usual headcollar size - pony, cob or full. Measuring from poll to muzzle and around the jaw before ordering is the simplest way to avoid the most common reason fly masks are returned.
Does this mask cover the ears?
Yes. The Aeroguard Half Fly Mask has lightweight mesh ears that protect against flies and insects while allowing airflow.
Does it cover the nose?
No. This is the half-face version, so the muzzle is left free. The full-face option in the Aeroguard range adds a block-out nose net covering that protects the sensitive nose from UV rays.
Will it rub my horse's face?
The contact edges are finished with fleece to maximise comfort and reduce rubbing. Correct sizing and daily removal for a skin check are still important, particularly on horses with fine or sensitive skin.
Can my horse see through the mask?
Yes. The stand-out mesh eye covering and structured browband give added clearance over the eyes for unrestricted visibility.
How do I wash it?
Shake off loose dirt, then hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry.
