Vest & Ruck Cleaning and Care Instructions

Our vests and ruck packs are made from durable nylon, designed to withstand tough conditions. To keep them in top shape, follow these simple cleaning steps:

  1. Remove Plates: Always remove any weight plates from the vest or ruck pack before cleaning.
  2. Wipe Down: Use a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe down the surface, removing dirt or debris.
  3. Air Dry: Hang the vest or ruck pack in a well-ventilated area and allow it to air dry completely.

Note: Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing, as these may damage the nylon material.
