Troubleshooting
Fly sheet causes rubbing or discomfort
Ensure the sheet is the correct size and properly fitted. Check that the front closures, surcingles, and leg straps are not too tight. The smooth lining should help prevent rubbing, but incorrect fit can negate this benefit.
Sheet does not stay securely in place
Verify that all closures (front buckles, surcingles, leg straps) are fastened correctly and adjusted appropriately. Ensure leg straps are crossed underneath for better stability. If the sheet consistently slips, consult the sizing guide and consider if a different style might be more suitable for your horse's build.
Reduced airflow or horse appears hot
Check the mesh for dirt, mud, or debris that might be blocking airflow. Clean the sheet as per care instructions. Ensure the sheet is not layered over other blankets unless specifically designed for such use.
Fabric appears torn or damaged
Inspect the sheet for rips or tears. While the polyester mesh is durable, it can be susceptible to sharp objects or aggressive chewing. Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with appropriate fabric mending techniques, but significant damage may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Unfold the fly sheet and identify the front closures and surcingles.
Place the sheet over your horse, ensuring the neck cover is correctly positioned.
Secure the twin buckle front closures with touch tape, adjusting for a comfortable, snug fit.
Fasten the low cross surcingles underneath the horse's belly, ensuring they are not too tight.

Compatibility:
This fly sheet is designed for general equine use in turnout situations. It is compatible with most standard horse conformations. Ensure you select the correct size for your horse to allow for freedom of movement and effective protection.
Care:
Cleaning: Regularly clean the fly sheet to maintain its effectiveness and longevity. Brush off loose dirt and debris. For a more thorough clean, hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying: Always air dry the fly sheet. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric and reduce its protective qualities. Hang it on a line away from direct, intense sunlight.
Storage: Store the clean, dry fly sheet in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a breathable bag, to protect it from dust and damage when not in use.
