Use and Care

Adjust the thigh harness straps and shoulder strap before first use to achieve a firm hold without hindering walking or running. Regularly check that the quick-release buckles and hook-and-loop closures function properly. After exposure to rain or moisture, let the pouch air dry, as the drainage grommets facilitate water evacuation. Cleaning with clear water and a soft brush is enough for routine maintenance of the 1000-denier nylon.
