I have one of the Kensington Uviator regular fly masks. Tried it, liked it, decided to purchase the long nose version as well, and the Kensington factory/warehouse burned down the night before I ordered. It seems most of the big online retailers (Dover, Smartpak, State Line, KV, etc.) drop shipped from the factory. Can’t find one anywhere.
Does anyone know of a local tack store, brick and mortar, that might have them in stock? I’d love any info if you happen to know. Thanks!
Thanks. That is not the style I want, however. I’m looking for the version with the long nose and ears. I already have the pictured version.
I had about $300 tied up in trying to buy one on eBay, but all my purchases ended up cancelled and refunded. I neglected to mention that in my original post. I’ve been keeping an eye on eBay in hopes of even a used one, and I see all the ads for new ones have disappeared. That’s why I am asking if anyone happens to know of a brick-and-mortar store that has one (if stores are even open).
Thanks for trying to help, though!
I am facebook friends with the owner of Kensington, He is very very approachable- I would call them directly and ask who might have one in stock still.
Also Horseloverz kept them in stock the last time I was out at the warehouse, but will all the trade fairs cancelled I’ve been out of touch
It’s such a good mask. I hope you’re able to track one down. I didn’t realize they drop shipped from the warehouse.
Thanks. It really is a nice mask. It has the highest UV-filtering/blocking rating I can find next to the Guardian.
Thank you. I will try calling after the holiday weekend.
Have yo tried Kensington direct : https://kensingtonproducts.com/products/uviator-protective-mask-with-nose-and-ears-90-uv-protection?variant=8791236050980
shows they have some! They sent me one direct overnight bc I was in a hurry before a show (months ago) The owner is AWESOME. Maybe they have one in the office… also amazon had some (but i didn’t look now). The mask is my horses’ day turnout savior!!! head shaker big time and with it he still gets to go out all day:).
Unfortunately, their checkout is disabled and there is a banner at the top of the website stating that they are closed until further notice. I really think the fire must’ve completely wiped out their inventory. I did send an email just in case.
Thank you for trying to help me!
Well, I thought I’d check Dover again this afternoon, and they had some in stock. They didn’t a week/week-and-a-half ago. I’m guessing they received a shipment (final?) from Kensington and inventoried them since I last checked. I talked to a CSR who said they were, indeed, in stock. Fingers crossed. I appreciate everyone who tried to help!
