Fly Masks with Eye Room

[cnd8]

What fly masks have you found with extra eye room? I’m currently using the Rambo Plus…
https://www.horseware.com/en-us/rambo-plus-fly-mask to protect an eye that formerly had an ulcer years ago that my horse likes to scratch on his knees. LOL It works wonderfully and I like the raised design over the eyes.

Yet, I am in South Georgia where the summers are ungodly hot and this mask seems like he will SWEAT with the fleece and thickness.

Have you found any lighter but with plenty of exaggerated eye room?

hands down the equivisor. Well worth the money. It won’t collapse into the eye as the visor part springs back into shape if they roll/lie down on it. Really a fantastic product! Keeps the mask well away from the eyes/lashes!

I like the Shires Flymotion masks. They have good eye room, a very fine mesh which has good visibility, and the fabric is very cool. My horses like them too - this is the only mask that they don’t try to remove.

Don’t know if it’s lighter, but I use Equivisor Solar Vizor.

Significantly cooler. Wish it had ears but I’d rather add desitin and swat than have the extra sweat

This looks promising. Don’t love the notion of snaps/clips like that, but it does look cooler temperature wise.

I agree it’s an odd design. I’m going on four years of using them 12-24 hours a day for six months out of the year. Still on the same mask with zero wear and she’s safely slipped it a few times with no harm to herself or the mask.

There is a fly mask called the Guardian Fly mask: https://www.horsemask.com/

It’s funny to look at but I have a very high impression of it. I had a boarder horse years ago who had uvetis, photon sensitivity/head shaking syndrome, among other eye conditions and this mask was the only thing that kept his eye clean – and he was a pig pen out in his pasture. It held up so well and was easy to clean.

No more than any other fly mask in Florida, and my skin-sensitive mare doesn’t get rubs from them nearly as quickly as regular fly masks.

I didn’t like them either. My horse is not fussy, so I just flip the one with the snaps behind the ears, and only use the velcro closure. Works fine for a horse that’s quiet. Also, I can tell that he prefers this to the ones I slip on to use when I am trailering him.

Oh wow! LOL

I like the new lycra ones, lots of eye room and they stay on.

I have a gelding that HATES having his ears covered, and has skin allergies. I’ve owned him 13 years and he’s injured an eye twice (different ones!). The Jack’s Equivisor is the only thing he kept on and that protected his eye reasonbly well! I’ve debated buying the actual plastic protective version, but the fly mask is the stiffer material, more like old fly sheets/lawn chairs, and that thing has held up to rubbing/gelding play/mud, etc. VERY impressed! (now someone else will buy one and it’ll explode day 1, but ime, great product!)
