ION Gearbag Core

Care for the ION Gearbag Core

Follow these simple tips to help your gearbag last for many seasons:

• Cleaning: Wipe the bag with a damp cloth and mild soap after use, especially after contact with salt water and sand. Avoid machine washing, stiff brushes, and strong cleaning agents, as they can damage the coated material.
• Drying: Let the bag air-dry completely with the zippers open before putting it away. Don’t expose it to direct sunlight for long periods, and never use heat sources such as a radiator or hair dryer.
• Storage: Store the bag somewhere dry and cool, away from direct sunlight - preferably lightly folded or loosely rolled to help the material and zippers keep their shape.
• Transport: Use soft items such as towels or wetsuits for extra padding around your board and kite, and tighten the straps so the contents don’t shift during travel.
• Zippers and wheels: Rinse sand and salt off the wheels and zipper, and lightly lubricate the zippers with silicone spray if needed for smooth operation.
