We love our solar visor with ears. It's a great fit and provides great coverage for my gelding with uveitis. It even stands up to the rough housing of his neighbors who try to take it off him daily.

The sun visor does its job! It stays on well, never caves in towards her eyes, protects her from UV and flies, and best of all - makes her look like a big ol' beekeeper!!! She's been using it for a few months now and the only spot showing wear is the velcro flap. I'm being a bit more careful with how I detach the velcro now and I'm sure I'll be able to put a few stitches in later if the fabric fully separates from the velcro.
I’m extremely happy with the SolarVizor. My mare lost one eye to a complication from epithelial immune-modulated keratitis and has the same disease in her remaining eye, and so lives in protective masks full time to protect it. I got the SolarVizor because the Recovery Vizor (which I also love, and protected her eye for many months successfully!) was too hot on her face during the hot and humid heatwaves and generally high summer temperatures we’ve been having, and she was losing the hair on her cheeks and around her ears. Switching to the SolarVizor helped stop the hair loss, and even better has let the hair start to regrow, while continuing to protect from/prevent her rubbing her eye, like the Recovery Vizor did. As a recommendation for other horse owners trying to manage chronic eye conditions via masks in hot weather—I did remove the inner EVA lining to improve airflow, since sweat (and not necessarily UV protection) was my main need. Highly recommend!
I have a paint mare with a large white blaze and pink skin on her nose, bought the fly mask with coverage to help protect her from the sun. She came to me a little toasted but since she’s been wearing the mask that rosey burnt skin has gone away. I love the cut outs for the nostrils and the bands to help her keep the mask on her head! Would happily buy again!
Penguin had eye surgery and needed this fly mask! It's enabled her to be outside safely.
Nemo had cryosurgery for squamous cell carcinomas on his lower eyelid. This solar shield is exactly what he needs to protect his healing eye from sun and bugs. Other masks collapsed, irritating his healing eyelid.
Not only does this mask protect his eyes, the way the nose piece is designed; allows for better air flow. Most masks drape over the nostrils impeding air flow. This mask covers his nose with zero air restriction!!
Very happy with this flymask, its helping my guy heal from a corneal ulcer, with the UV protectant and sturdy brim he cant rub his eye on anything. The size full Is a bit small for him, but he has a larger jaw which I think is whats making it fit a bit small. Overall great flymask.
He is able to have his eyes wide open without his long eye lash being squished like in other masks. Also is an Excellent sun blocker! Some say this masks reminds them of a Holly Hobby bonnet. Wonderful addition to the UV protection line.
We bought this for our rescued steer who recently had eye surgery to remove Squamous Cell Carcinoma. It was incredibly hard to find a mask that would fit our 6’5 boy, but this one is PERFECT! I love that it’s 100% UV protected, and doesn’t sit close to his eyes. I’ve already recommended to a couple of people looking for their steer as well. Thanks again!
Great product
This is the third replacement that I have purchased. My horse has had some issues with uveitis. Not chronic but we are taking no chances. She likes wearing it, she’s very cooperative when I put it on. I think she finds it a relief.
Pony size fit my 13ish hand pony mule just right. She is a pony size in general. Wish they would make donkey or mule ears for these masks. Easy to clean and adjust. I have spares to always have a clean one available.
My baby has a corneal ulcer and keeps rubbing his face, irritating not only the eye but his cheek as well… the visor mask is helping in minimizing the rubbing.
my Mini Iceman , Who is always looking for something to get in trouble Rubbed his eye and ripped his eyelid . I had the vet come and stitch him up but needed to ensure he would not rub it. I could not find a medical mask with the hard eye cup to protect his eye. SO did some digging on the internet and ordered this sunvisor on friday and it was here on Monday. It did the job even when he rolls over it protected his eyelid till the stitches could be removed in 10 days . Thank you for this wonderful product.
My mare is a perlino and had a sarcoma removed from her eyelid. She will need protection for the rest of her years. Thankful for such a product ❤️
I have been using Solar Vizor on my Appy/TB gelding for years. I love the built in sun block at the top to help shade the eyes. It’s so much more effective than just the mesh. The new nose guard is great since my Appy is prone to sunburn. The extra large fits my Percheron comfortably. The visors are extremely well made and really stand up to long time wear and tear. Customer service has also been outstanding and extremely responsive on the rare times I’ve had an issue. It’s the only fly mask I’ll use!
Our paint mare Diamond has a white face and blue eyes. Our vet always warned us that she had a high chance of getting eye cancer. Sure enough she ended up with it. After having the tumor removed and chemo treatments our vet recommended the Equivizor. We ordered her one and it’s been the best money I ever spent. She wears it all the time to protect her eyes now.
Ice is a Mini that is into anything a Toddler can get into. So he managed to rip his eyelid and required stitches. I could not find a protective mask that day and when i found your visor I ordered it immediately. Sadly while i waited for the arrival He managed to rip the stitches again. I did have him double masked but they were not good enough. Your masked was ordered on Friday and I received it on Monday. It did the trick so far its been almost a week of wearing your protective Sunvisor and no more incidents. But I should have ordered 2 so I can clean them and have a replacement. I just ordered a 2nd one now. Thank you for helping his eye heal. Diane and Ice from Williston , fl
Mon cheval Belge x QH a commencé à faire du head shaking. Je cherchais un masque qui lui offrait une protection uv optimale et qui correspondait à sa grosseur de tête. Au Canada c'était très difficile à trouver. Je suis hyper contente du produit.
The solar visor has been almost a miracle! Out of all the masks we have tried, the beekeeper style has offered the best protection for his eyes and the length of the nose piece helps protect him from sunburn. We alternate the version with the nose and without during the year. I do wish the solar visor with the ears offered the same nose protection for him, but it's a bit too short.
My horse has uveitis and he doesn’t keep normal flymasks on and they rub on his eyes. This mask stays on and doesn’t rub at all! Highly recommend
Our horse recently recovered from an eye injury with the help of the equivisor. We are hoping the new fly mask keeps his eyes safe and helps to prevent future injuries.
Tried both Equi- and solar visors, Like the standard better for fit & ease of movement, but do use the solar visor on bright snowy days.
This is the only 100% UV protective mask that my horse will keep on. Love it!
Our vet specialist Dr. Latimer suggested this mask for our mini with eye issues. The fit is perfect and she is very comfortable in it. Thank you!
Great mask so far. Recommended by vet after eye ulcer from piece of previous fly mask
Have used your products for years. Love these fly masks. They are tough and stay on!
I absolutely LOVE the new solar Vizor mask with ears! Flash does best in his solar vizor mask so when they made the solar vizor I knew we needed one! Couldn’t be happier with the quality and ear option now available! Our herd of 10 (blind and full vision) wear Equi Vizors or Solar Vizors and we won’t use any other brand. Thank you Protective Pet Solutions for all of your fabulous products!
It was super easy to order and it fits. Great. I’m so happy with my product. And it’s keeping my boy comfortable
We love this mask for our mare. She has uveitus in both eyes and has been blind for 10 years. The "hoop" around her face keeps the mesh out away from her eyes (hard to get with a regular mask, even with eye darts if she bumps them they can push inward against her eye) and also serves as a bumper to warn her that she's getting too close to something.
The only mask that really protects my blue eyed gelding. He had squamous cancer in his right eye surgically removed. I would recommend this mask to anyone with a horse with an eye problem, especially here in Florida.
Let me tell ya!! This Solar Vizor is my light sensitive and Uvitis prone boys saving grace!!! It is the best product ever for UV protection!! It stays up off his eyes, easy to adjust, excellent quality, comfortable for the horse and most importantly (for me) it STAYS ON!!! Even if your horse rolls so much and so enthusiasticly, in the muck of course.....🙄 that they look like a paint (he's a Perlino) 🙄🤣🤣 So grateful for this company and thier products!! Best on the market!!!
This mask is great. My Quarter Pony mare has ERU in both eyes and is completely blind. I love that the mask keeps her from bumping her eyes, keeps bugs and hayseeds out and is comfortable for her. We've had the one in the picture for 3 years and she finally broke the throat latch buckle so I just ordered a new one. She will never be without it!
I intended to order the full mask with ears & nose protection for my white horse but accidentally ordered the one without ears & nose. It does however fit my black mare so I'll keep it. An added bonus is that I know I ordered the right size for my white horse & will be ordering 1 for him soon! Love how they stay off the eyes & offer added protection from the sun & bugs!
Excellent mask! Does everything it needs to do and my guy loves it.
Solar Vizor Fly Mask - With Ear and Nose Protection - NEW STYLE
Willy is almost completely blind. He kept getting bumps and scrapes on his head. His old UV mask irritated his eyes because he would roll and the mask would rub his eyes. This visor is perfect for him. No more irritation and far fewer scrapes. Thank you.
Our veterinarian had suggested a mask for our horse dealing with uveitis flare ups but we weren’t able to get the brand she recommended with ears. We found this website with a google search and were excited to try it. Fits very nicely, stays away from the eyes exactly as we were hoping for. Very well made and feel like it will hold up well 🤞
The cob size fits my 14.2hh Paintaloosa perfectly. It provides excellent protection from the sun for his uveitis, and also stays on all day without him tearing it off like he does to other masks! This is my 7th solar visor mask I’ve purchased for him. They are extremely durable, but do get beat up with daily use of course! I love the new style with the long nose! It doesn’t get all gunky like other masks tend to, yet protects his pink Appaloosa skin. Thank you for this excellent product and fast shipping!
My mare Aurora has recently been diagnosed with Immune Mediated Uveitis. A fly mask with good UV protection is a must, but she always manages to get a regular fly mask off. After some research I found the Equivisor and it has been perfect! Once adjusted just right she has not been able to get it off, and her eye stays protected.
