I don't have a Farley but I do have a Mudhugger, it's awesome. Fatbikes definitely benefit from having a LOT of mudguard, since the tyres can throw a lot of water and mud.

Mudhugger 29er...but you may need a hot air gun to get it to the right shape for the wider seat stays.
I had one on my 2021 farley and it needed some "tweaking" with the hot air gun for a decent fit.
I also added their extension piece to make it wider and reduce the chance for a splatter!

Over the last 6 years I have used both the PDW shovel and the Mudhugger.

In practice I found the shovel a bit "meh". Ignoring the first one that came un-poppered and disappeared somewhere in Peaslake, the second one suffered from the securing strap slowly working loose letting the guard slip around on the seat post, and being a big cantilevered piece of plastic it tended to make a bit of noise flapping about on the bumpier downhills. But it worked perfectly well for mud protection.

The mudhugger works at least as well against the mud, but is a far more rigid structure and so stays put exactly where you fit it. It's only downside is it takes half an hour or so with a hair drier and cable ties to initially fit it.

Overall my scores on the two options are:
- Shovel 6/10 Adequate
- Mudhugger 9/10 Excellent
