CARE & TIPS
Backpack & Vests Care
We want you to follow the instructions on the care label for each product. Care labels are typically found inside of the product. If you can’t see it, look again. If you still can’t see it, contact us. The following tips below are also good for keeping the pack in shape and increasing the lifespan of it.
- After every ride, empty the pack completely and brush clean soiled areas with soapy water.
- Never put your pack into a washing machine or dryer (only hand wash), this damages the PU coating.
- The pack fabrics can’t be ironed.
- Zippers must be kept clean for improved lifetime.
- To store: close the pack and keep it in a dry, well ventilated place.
Hydration System Care
Elite & Shape-Shift with Plug & Play connection
The best way to keep your bladder in top-notch shape is to clean it with soap and water and let it dry completely after every use. The Shape-Shift and Elite bladders are especially easy to clean because theyre reversible! They are also dishwasher (top-shelf recommended) friendly. The following information is recommended by the manufacturer (Hydrapak). Read the full support thread here.
Cleaning hydration bladder
Reverse by placing your hand in the bladder, grab the bottom, and pull it back through the top opening, just like turning a sock inside-out. The molded opening can also be flipped after the bladder body has been reversed. Then, throw it in the dishwasher or rinse with mild soap and water. Make sure to let the bladder dry out completely while reversed.
Cleaning hose & mouthpiece
All of our components are removable for easy cleaning. Disconnect the drink tube from the bladder. Grasp the bite valve in one hand and tube in the other then pull the valve firmly to remove the bite valve from the tube. Gently remove the silicone sheath from the valve and clean with Bottle Bright or mild soap and water. Clean the inside of the tube by inserting the Hydrapak Tube Brush in the open end of the tube and scrub. After drying the components, carefully reattach the sheath to the valve and re-install.

Cleaning hydration bladder
Many of our packs use a fixed baffle bladder called the Fixed ( Also known as Shape-Loc). It can only be reversed up until the baffle is exposed but is still simple to clean. We recommend either using a bottle brush or Bottle Bright.
Method One - Fill your bladder with warm water and use a bottle brush along with mild soap to scrub it clean. Rinse well and hang it upside down to dry.
Method Two - Fill your bladder with warm water and drop in one or two Bottle Bright tablets, slide the top close and let sit for fifteen to thirty minutes (depending on the amount of residue). Rinse and hang upside down to dry.
