Product Description
Ideal for sun sensitive horses with photosensitisation or pale pigmentation. The sun shade fly mask blocks bothersome insects and dust whist providing 90+%* average UV protection for extended summer field wear. A sunshield visor shades the eyes from sun glare, the clearview mesh filters UV whilst ensuring an excellent level of visibility. The nose fringe helps discourage flies from landing on the delicate nose area. Sun defence ears protect against insects, filter UV rays and allow plenty of air flow. Over the face the main fabric is ripstop and breathable for durability, under the chin the airy tight weave allows a greater amount of airflow for comfort in warmer weather. UltraFit refinement utilises fleece bindings at the seams to ensure excellent edge contact with the head, restricting entry of insects under the mask, and guarding against rubs.

Product FAQs
Where are Bates saddles from?
Bates is an Australian company, founded in Perth in 1934 by George Bates. It's still family-owned and sells saddles in more than 30 countries.
What is the Bates EasyChange gullet system?
EasyChange lets you change the width of a Bates saddle by swapping the gullet. On most saddles made since 2010, the gullet is reached by removing two external screws.
Can I change the gullet on a Bates saddle myself?
The swap itself is straightforward, but choosing the right width is the hard part. Have a qualified saddle fitter assess your horse before you change it.
What is CAIR?
CAIR is Bates' cushion system, used in the panels of many Bates saddles as an alternative to wool flocking. Bates advises against removing it.
Are Bates and Wintec the same company?
