Care Instructions
We use the best quality products and make your travel gear with utmost care to ensure that they hold up optimally.
But when you are subjecting your gear to outdoor adventures or everyday hustle, it is bound to get dirty. Don’t worry, we are here to help you take care of it. Here are some tips on doing so:
General care (all textile luggage & gear)
-
To prevent the fabric from fading, take off the bags from the bike when they're not being used.
-
Hand Wash is recommended for serious stains. Simply brush off dust/mud after rides or wash your gear with lukewarm water and mild detergent. You can also use wet wipes or a damp cloth to remove small dirt stains and smudges.
-
To remove dirt from your gear, empty it and shake it outside. But that doesn't clean out everything from the corners and edges. To deal with stubborn particles, give the inside of your gear a thorough wipe with a damp cloth, or a lint roller, focusing on the seams and the corners of the bag. The stickiness of the roller will pick up and dislodge the dirt left and remove crumbs from the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. You can also use a brush to remove dust from the crevices of your gear.
-
Allow your gear to air-dry in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Leave the zippers unzipped and hang it upside down. DO NOT use a machine dryer, direct sunlight, hairdryers, or any type of heater during the drying process.
-
DO NOT use any form of bleach, automotive cleaner, dry cleaning chemicals, or abrasive scrubbers; these items might damage the fabric of the product.
-
Do not submerge your travel gear in water and do not machine wash, tumble-dry or dry clean your gear.
-
Keep away from hot exhausts, sharp edges, fuel/solvents, and prolonged direct sun storage. Store dry, loosely packed; avoid long-term compression.
Zippers & hardware
-
Zippers might need occasional cleaning to remove fine sand, dust, and other particles. Be careful not to scrub the zippers with abrasive scrubbers. Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush to clean zippers.
-
Inspect buckles and webbing for wear; replace early to prevent failures.
Rain covers & Waterproof inner liners
Hand-rinse and air-dry completely before storage. Avoid harsh detergents and UV exposure. Avoid snagging on sharp edges.
Hydration components
Rinse bladder and hose after each use; use mild denture-tab or baking-soda solution; air-dry completely. (Note: bladders are consumables and not covered under warranty.)
