You’ve made the plunge to outfit your bike with gear that, when properly cared for, may very well outlast your bike. These instructions apply to all of our gear, X-PAC and Dyneema alike.
Here is how to take care of it:
1.Do NOT put your gear in the washing machine
But seriously, please keep your bags away from the gear shredding agitator, and hand wash all of your bags.
2. Use a non-detergent soap
If you’re just spot cleaning a little bit of nature off your bag, you probably don’t need soap. But sometimes weird smells happen. If you’re at that level and need to use soap, use non-detergent soap. Detergents are man made of synthetic ingredients that are abrasive and cause damage to the fabric. Soap is made of natural ingredients that are much gentler.
3. Use gentle cleaning tools
You should start by brushing off loose dirt before getting your bag wet. Once water enters the picture, a soft toothbrush, towel, or a sponge can help clean off the rest. Scotch pads and steel wool aren’t welcome for this job.
4. Hang dry
Do not put your bag in a dryer. Lay flat or hang to dry.
