Kensington is serious about protecting horses, whether from sun, bugs, rain, snow, or wind. That innovative spirit has pioneered their latest breakthrough – Textilene® Solar Screen, a superior fabric that blocks 90% of harmful UV rays to protect the most sensitive of eyes. This fabric is utilized in the Kensington UViator collection of fly masks.

“Our tried-and-true Textilene® fabric has always offered 73% UV protection, but, as a company that always seeks to evolve and improve, we wanted to do even better,” states Anthony Gatto, President and Owner of Kensington Products. “We know that the new Textilene® Solar Screen fabric is exactly what sensitive-skinned and -eyed horses need and are looking for.”

Available in both a CatchMask® and a new Dartless version, both with or without ears. The CatchMask® features a double locking lead rope fastener that enables a lead to be clipped to the mask, eliminating the need to also put on a halter, and it also is available with removable extended nose coverage. The new Dartless version features an innovative design that provides a more universal fit.

UV protection is important for riders’ eyes too – and Kensington LOVES the Matching Game! That’s why we also offer matching sunglasses to our signature Kensington plaids. Now you and your horse can block the rays while looking coordinated and cool!
