Product Care Instructions

At Kalanoc, we design high-performance outdoor gear built to withstand the elements. With proper care, your gear will stay in top shape for years to come. Follow these product care instructions to maintain durability, functionality, and comfort.

General Care Tips

Always follow the care label inside your product for specific instructions.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing gear, as UV rays can degrade fabrics.
Store gear in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mold and mildew.
After every adventure, clean your gear to remove dirt, sweat, and oils that can break down materials over time.

Washing & Drying Instructions

Jackets & Outerwear

Use a mild detergent and wash in cold water on a gentle cycle.
Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage waterproof coatings.
Close all zippers and fastenings before washing.
Air dry or tumble dry on low heat to maintain fabric integrity.
For waterproof items, consider reapplying a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment after several washes.

Base Layers & Performance Apparel

Wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
Avoid high heat drying to prevent shrinkage and fabric wear.
Turn garments inside out before washing to maintain colors and fabric quality.
Hang dry for best results.

Backpacks & Bags

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Do not machine wash or submerge in water, as this may weaken structural integrity.
Air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.

Footwear

Remove dirt and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth.
For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and lukewarm water—never harsh chemicals.
Allow footwear to air dry naturally; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or dryers.
Apply a waterproofing treatment as needed to maintain protection.

Storage & Long-Term Care

Ensure all gear is clean and completely dry before storage.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Use breathable storage bags for apparel to prevent trapping moisture.
Avoid compressing insulated jackets for long periods to maintain loft and warmth.

Repair & Renewal

Instead of replacing worn-out gear, consider our Kalanoc Renewed Gear program. Trade in used gear for store credit and help extend the life of outdoor essentials while reducing waste.

By following these care instructions, you ensure that your Kalanoc gear stays adventure-ready for years. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our customer support team.
