Caring for Your Luggage
To maintain optimal performance and appearance:
- Clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the polycarbonate or faux leather finishes.
- Ensure the SILVADUR-treated lining stays effective by airing out the interior after use and avoiding direct heat exposure.
- Retract the telescoping handle fully when storing to prevent warping.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from prolonged sunlight to preserve color and structural integrity.
Important Notes
- Not intended for constant abrasion or extreme outdoor conditions such as cargo holds or rugged terrain; best suited for carry-on or checked baggage in standard airline environments.
- The SILVADUR lining requires proper care—harsh detergents or bleach may diminish its antimicrobial properties over time.
- Package includes the luggage, internal accessory bags (laundry, shoe, mesh pockets), but does not include external travel pillows, garment covers, or packing cubes.
- External dimensions account for protruding handles and wheels; verify space requirements if transporting in confined areas like overhead bins or car trunks.
