Lemieux Visor‑Tek™ Half Fly Mask with Ears
Protect your horse’s eyes, ears, and forehead in style with the Lemieux Visor‑Tek™ half fly mask with ears. Combining a sun‑blocking visor, breathable mesh, and plush ear protection, this innovative mask shields against insects, UV glare, and debris—ideal for turnout, training, and trail rides.
Why the Visor‑Tek™ Half Mask Stands Out
-
Sun‑Blocking Visor
Integrated hard‑shell visor deflects harsh glare and UV rays, enhancing visibility and reducing eye strain. -
Complete Ear Coverage
Soft, stretchable mesh ears guard sensitive cartilage from gnats, flies, and burrs in brushy fields. -
Open‑Front Design
Maintains full peripheral vision and airflow, preventing tunnel‑vision and overheating. -
Premium 3D Mesh
Lightweight, mildew‑resistant fabric stops insects while wicking moisture away from the forehead. -
Secure, Custom Fit
Dual hook‑and‑loop straps under the jaw and at the poll ensure a snug, non‑slip hold that won’t rub your horse’s mane or poll.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get a fly mask with or without ears?
Masks with ears offer extra defense for sensitive ear tissue—especially important in wooded or brush‑filled pastures.
Can you leave a fly mask on a horse all the time?
Yes—once properly fitted, high‑quality masks like Visor‑Tek™ can stay on overnight or during turnout. Remove daily for cleaning and inspection.
What are the benefits of a fly mask?
They reduce insect‑related irritation, head‑shaking, UV exposure, and help keep horses calm and focused during rides.
Can a horse see at night with a fly mask on?
Fine‑mesh masks do not impair night vision; horses see clearly through high‑quality mesh under low‑light conditions.
Should horses wear fly masks in the rain?
Visor‑Tek™’s quick‑dry mesh sheds water and dries rapidly, making it safe and comfortable even in wet conditions.
Can you put a halter over a fly mask?
Yes—simply fit the mask first, then apply a flat‑band halter over it. Ensure straps don’t pinch or rub.
What color fly mask is best for horses?
Light or neutral tones reflect heat and UV rays more effectively; darker masks may absorb warmth. Choose based on climate and preference.
Are fly masks hot for horses?
When designed with breathable 3D mesh—like Visor‑Tek™—fly masks promote ventilation and minimize heat buildup.
Can you ride with a fly mask on?
Absolutely. The open‑front design preserves peripheral vision, making Visor‑Tek™ ideal for schooling and trail riding.
