Care Instructions
Maintenance made simple
PREPARATION
#
Remove all patches/ranks, knee/shoulder pads, and protective inserts. Fasten all hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures and zippers to prevent abrasion damage.
WASH
#
Machine wash warm (max 30°C-40°C). Turn garment inside out.
DETERGENT
#
Use mild detergent only. DO NOT use fabric softeners, bleach, or detergents containing optical brighteners.
DRYING
#
Air dry in shade only.
DWR
#
Most of our gear uses fabrics with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, which helps water bead off and keeps the item rain and shower resistant.
To extend the life of the coating, use minimal, mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Gentle heat (hair dryer or low-heat iron) can help re-activate the coating. If needed, DWR can be reapplied with a spray-on treatment.

PREPARATION
#
Empty all pouches and remove all contents. Detach removable armor plates (soft and hard) and electronics. Brush off loose dirt and dried mud before wetting.
HAND WASH ONLY
#
Lay gear on a clean surface or hang. Spray with a water hose and scrub gently using a soft-bristle brush. Use soap if needed.
DRYING
#
Air dry only. Hang in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Ensure all pockets are open to allow airflow. DO NOT tumble dry or use heat sources!

HAND WASH ONLY
#
Remove surface dirt manually using your hand or a dry cloth. This is the preferred method to extend the life of the adhesive backing.
SPOT CLEAN
#
Use water only if absolutely necessary. Minimize water saturation to preserve the adhesive.
