Troubleshooting
Saddle cover slips off during riding.
Ensure the cover is pulled down tightly over the saddle and that it's the correct size for your saddle. Some saddles may have shapes that are less compatible with universal covers.
Water seems to be penetrating the cover.
Check for any tears or damage in the fabric. While water-repellent, the material is not fully waterproof if compromised. Ensure the cover is properly fitted without gaps.
Cover is difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure you are stretching the material appropriately. If it feels too tight, double-check compatibility with your saddle dimensions. If it's too loose, it may not provide adequate protection.
