Size Guide

The perfect combination of comfort and effectiveness to protect your horse's eyes

The Helios mask features UV-protective fabric (90%) and also protects against wind, hay, and of course insects. It is extremely comfortable thanks to the thick fleece lining all areas in contact with the horse's skin. Its semi-rigid headband keeps the fabric away from the eyes, and the fabric of the hood allows air to circulate, which is essential during the summer months. It is also available in a version without ear flaps. It features a double closure system with Velcro and buckles.

Since horses' eyes are located on the sides of their heads, the area around the muzzle does not fall within their field of vision. The black band along the muzzle has no impact on their field of vision, which is mainly lateral and rearward.

The Helios mask is the perfect complement to veterinary treatment for horses suffering from ophthalmological conditions such as uveitis, ulcers, conjunctivitis, keratitis, cataracts, etc. Its long removable nose cover also provides relief for some horses suffering from headshaking,protects horses with light-colored skin, andprevents discomfort caused by insects.

Completely flexible, it can be worn permanently and safely by any horse, in the pasture or in the stall. It can also be used for flatwork, but given its opacity, we do not recommend using it for jumping; for these disciplines, we recommend equigoogs.


Specific features of the Helios mask

  • Airy fabric between the ears and above the eyes,
  • Hoop to keep the fabric away from the eyes,
  • 90% UV-protective micro-perforated fabric to protect the eyes and nose,
  • Velcro closure at the underbust + strap and safety buckle 
  • Fleece lining on all parts in contact with the horse's skin,
  • Soft Lycra for earmuffs.

Please note :
If you have purchased insurance covering your horse’s veterinary expenses, the cost of eye protection required following an accident or for the treatment of an eye condition may be covered in full or in part by your insurance company. If this is the case—and subject to the insurer’s terms and conditions and the policy you’ve purchased—the insurer will require that the products be prescribed by your veterinarian on the prescription they provide to you.
Horses aren’t meant to wear masks! Make sure at least once a day that the mask hasn’t shifted and that your horse is comfortable wearing it. We take the utmost care in manufacturing our products and selecting materials, but every horse is different, and it is your responsibility to verify that the chosen equipment (model + size) provides the necessary protection for your horse’s eyes.

    Equidiva Helios Mask 90% UV protection without ear covers, with removable nose cover Review
    What size should I choose for my Equidiva mask/hat?

    All measurements are approximate and are provided for informational purposes only.

    Size guide - Premium or Helios mask

    Using a tape measure (or a piece of string that you will measure afterwards), measure around your horse's head as shown in the photo:


    Mask size Head circumference
    XS - Shetland* 84 cm
    S - Pony* 90 cm
    M - Cob* 94 cm
    L - Full* 100 cm
    XL - XFull* 110 cm
    If your horse's head measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger of the two.



    Size guide - Equivizor masks (Lightweight, Arso, Convalescence models)

    For these masks, the main measurement is the width of your horse's forehead. To do this, you need to add together three measurements:

    1. Start at the outer corner of one eye and measure upwards at a slight angle to the middle of the forehead (measurement A).
    2. continue along the front of your horse(measurement B),
    3. Finish the measurement by directing the line slightly downward to the outer corner of the other eye (measurement C). This way, you will measure the widest part of your horse's forehead.

    Add these 3 measurements (A+B+C) to obtain the size of your horse's forehead.

    IMPORTANT: Do not measure directly from one eye to the other, as this will likely result in an inaccurate measurement.

    Mask size Forehead size
    XS - Shetland* 7.5–8.7 inches
    S - Pony* 8.7–11.4 inches
    M - Cob* 11.5–13.5 inches
    L - Full* 13-14 inches
    XL - XFull* 15-17 inches


    Size guide - Rambo mask

    Take these 3 steps:


    Size A B C
    XS (large Shetland) 60 cm 84 cm 20 cm
    S (pony) 70 cm 96 cm 9.5 inches
    M (cob) 70 cm 96 cm 9.25 inches
    L (full) 75 cm 105 cm 27 cm

    If your horse is between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size.


    Size guide - Equivet mask

    Measure the distance between the center of the horse's two eyes:


    Mask size Distance between the eyes
    S - Pony* 18 cm
    M - Cob* 21 cm
    L - Full* 9.5 inches
    XL - XFull* 26 cm
