The Shires Tempest Original Zeb-Tek Fly Mask has been inspired by nature and informed by science.

Made with ultra-breathable fabric this fly rug blocks 80% of UV radiation. The Zebra stripes are proven to deter flies and biting insects, as the monochromatic stripes prevent horse flies from making a controlled landing.

†Scientists' findings indicate that stripes prevent horse flies from making a controlled landing when up close. Beneficial effects for the horse were seen with fewer flies landing on a horse wearing a zebra print rug, than a naked horse, or solid coloured rug. T.Caro et al.
