General care
- Over time repeated fold lines can start to weaken the fine material of your DD SuperLight gear. To pack away, we always recommend 'stuffing' your DD SuperLight gear into its bag instead.
-
To preserve the strength of the material, avoid folding along the same lines too frequently (change after 10 times)
-
Store in a cool, dry, dark place
-
Always ensure your gear (including any cordage) is completely dry before storing away
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (above 40C and below -15C), and keep your gear at least a 2m distance from flames
-
Do not machine wash. Clean carefully by hand only, using lukewarm water
-
Prolonged exposure to strong UV light can cause material to weaken (UV degradation is excluded from warranty)
