General care
- To preserve the strength of the material, avoid folding along the same lines too frequently (we always recommend 'stuffing' your DD SuperLight gear into its bag instead)
-
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)
