What are the benefits of the fleece wither pad?

Troubleshooting
Rug does not seem to be wicking moisture effectively.
Ensure the rug is clean and free from dirt or stable debris. Residual washing product can also affect wicking properties; try rinsing thoroughly. Check that the rug is properly fitted and not too tight, which could impede airflow.
Fittings are rubbing or causing discomfort.
Adjust the straps to ensure a snug but not tight fit. The fleece wither pad should provide cushioning; check its position and ensure it is clean. Consider if the rug size is appropriate for your horse.
Material feels stiff after washing.
Follow the care instructions precisely, especially regarding temperature and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Air drying is recommended for maintaining material integrity.
