How To Choose The Right Cover For Your Outdoor Camping Gear

Having the right camping and outdoor gear can help improve your next getaway or outdoor adventure - but it is also important to know how to maintain and look after your outdoor equipment properly, especially as any items that are used or stored outside will experience more damage and wear over time. This is what makes Camp Cover products a must-have accessory to help protect and your equipment for many years of use.

Why choose Camp Cover to protect your gear?

1. Exceptional quality and constructed with robust materials.

Camp Cover uses Ripstop Material with durable and long-lasting colourfast YKK zips and sliders to allow for easy access. These covers are both water-resistant and dust-proof to keep your gear protected in the toughest outdoor weather. They are also 100% locally designed and proudly made in South Africa.

2. Highly practical and functional design.

One big advantage of using the correct Camp Cover for your equipment is the added storage space and extra compartments. These handy compartments, zips and handles allow for better storage, as well as making transportation much easier.

3. Damage from wear-and-tear on expensive equipment is kept to a minimum.

Outdoor equipment naturally experiences more wear-and-tear over time due to weather, and especially if you are using your gear while traveling or camping in tough conditions. Camp Cover products are made with UV-treated materials, which are vital to help prevent sun damage, while their inner-linings allow for quick and easy cleaning. For your expensive purchases, Camp Cover is an ideal necessity to help protect, clean, and store your product to ensure it is well kept and lasts for many years of outdoor adventures

How to clean your Camp Cover gear

Keeping your covers well-cleaned and maintained over time is essential to make full use out of these necessary products. Luckily, it is very simple thanks to the high-quality, robust materials they are made with.

To clean your Camp Cover product properly, you should use a soft brush and a general cleaning agent, that does not contain any hard chemicals or ammonia, as this may affect the water-resistant quality of the ripstop material.

You can use any standard household washing powder or dishwashing soap (as long as they do not contain ammonia or other harsh chemicals).

• Once you have thoroughly cleaned your Camp Cover (on both the inside and outside) it is important to dry it thoroughly before storing it to avoid moulding.
• While cleaning your Camp Cover, do not submerge it entirely in water.
• Protection covers and bags should only be used for their intended use, otherwise, you may struggle to maintain them over time correctly.
