Troubleshooting
Rug shifting or slipping to one side
Check that the surcingles are crossed correctly and are not too loose; ensure the leg straps are adjusted symmetrically.
Moisture buildup inside the rug
Ensure the horse is dry before blanketing; check that the shell is not compromised by tears, as the breathability relies on the integrity of the fabric.
Buckles or straps becoming difficult to adjust
Clear away any dried mud or debris from the buckle mechanisms and treat with a light silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the front buckles are adjusted so the rug sits comfortably at the base of the neck without putting pressure on the withers. Cross the surcingles snugly but leave enough room for a hand-width between the strap and the horse's belly. The leg straps should be adjusted to allow for movement while preventing the rug from shifting during high winds. For care, gently brush off dried mud with a soft brush. When necessary, clean the rug using a damp cloth and mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid using heavy-duty laundry detergents or pressure washers, as these can strip the repel shell waterproof coating over time. Store the rug in a cool, dry place when not in use.
