Backpack Care Guide

  Let's talk about packs! They're not just any old accessory—they're a major investment that deserves some extra love and care. Whether you're using a multi-day hiking pack or a small daypack for an overnighter, it’s important to protect your pack from the dirt, sweat, dust and snow that your adventures throw at it. Here’s our rundown on how to preserve your pack, keeping it in top condition for many journeys to come. 

 

 

HOW DO I CLEAN MY BACKPACK?

Firstly, use a soft, fine bristled brush and lukewarm water to clean off as much dirt as possible. Rinse it well, we find a hose on the lawn does the trick!

 

HOW DO I DRY MY BACKPACK?

We recommend just drip drying your backpack in the shade. Once it’s completely dry make sure you store it in a cool, dry place to avoid mold and mildew.
