STORING YOUR PRODUCTClean and air dry your Eagle Creek bag or travel accessories completely before storing to avoid mildew, delamination, leaks, or foul odors. There is no remedy for mildew damage. Storing your gear or accessories while they are damp (even just a little) could cause the polyurethane coating to soften, stick to itself, and potentially pull away from the main fabric. Prolonged exposure to moisture will cause coatings to become sticky. Store your gear and accessories in a cool, temperate environment. Do not stack heavy objects on top of your gear and accessories and, if possible, stuff bags with clothing or crumpled-up paper to help maintain its shape. Odors, scratches, fading and scuffs are considered cosmetic damage, do not affect the function of the bag and are not covered under the Eagle Creek Warranties.
