Care your mountain equipment part 1

Down Bags
IF YOU take care of A DOWN BAG it'll offer you a few years OF SERVICE
Down luggage ought to ne'er be keep compressed and may ideally be keep loosely during a breathable bag of cotton or mesh.
Always air your bag totally before storing and every day throughout a visit (if conditions allow).
Cleaning down luggage could be a terribly time intense business. If you can, use a liner to cut back the quantity of times your bag can got to be cleaned; this may increase it is the lifetime of the bag.
When you do notice a loss in performance of the bag you will realize that it'll want laundry, as oils from your skin and dirt can eventually contaminate the down and have an effect on its loft and after the insulation of the bag.
Note that laundry your bag can harm the fill to associate degree extent then laundry ought to be done only if fully necessary.

Always follow the directions given on the bag.
For down luggage solely hand washes the bag during a tub with pure soap or a specialist down cleanup product out there from out of doors stores.
When the bag is wet you risk tearing the interior baffles that keep the down in situ.
To minimize this risk lay the bag flat within the tub and press the water through the bag.
Always rinse the bag totally, as any cleanup merchandise left behind can have an effect on the loft of the bag once it’s dried.
When rinsed totally rigorously slide the bag out of the tub into an instrumentality to avoid straining the baffles.
Then unfold the bag call at heat, well ventilated place to dry, turning it over often.
When the bag is sort of dry a cool dry out during a business drier will facilitate to interrupt up any remaining clumps of down and complete the drying method.
We would prefer to suggest that 
cleanup luggage reception isn't a straightforward task and involves an excellent deal of your time and energy.
Synthetic luggage
SYNTHETIC luggage square measure EASIER to wash THAN DOWN luggage
but once more cleanup ought to be unbroken to a minimum.
Store your luggage within the same means as down luggage and once more air those once every use if doable.
Synthetic luggage square measure way easier to wash than down luggage however once more cleanup ought to be unbroken to a minimum.
Our artificial luggage is machine washed, although we tend to advocate employing a larger business machine for this purpose. 
Again use solely pure soap or a specialist cleanup product. 
If employing a machine you will get to repeat the rinse cycle to make sure that everyone the 
cleanup agent has been washed away.

The risk of tearing baffles doesn't apply to artificial luggage thus you'll simply droop them intent on dry during a heat, well ventilated area.
