Care /Maintenance
In this page we look at how to care and maintain your WRS products
PRODUCT CARE GUIDES
PFD CARE GUIDE
Washing – rinse PFDs in clean, fresh water after each use to help reduce corrosion or degradation of materials.
Drying – drip dry PFDs out of sunlight. Frequent forced drying in drying rooms will shorten the lifespan of the material and foam.
Storage – hang PFDs on hangers from the shoulder straps. Avoid storing them wet or damp. Avoid stacking or boxing your PFDs for long periods – sustained compression will damage the foam.
HELMET CARE GUIDE
Washing – rinse helmets in clean, fresh water after each use to help reduce odour, corrosion or degradation of materials. The liner in a Shuck helmet can be removed and machine washed on a 30 °C cycle.
Drying – drip dry helmets out of sunlight and away from heat sources. Frequent forced drying in drying rooms will shorten the lifespan of the foam inserts and parts.
Storage – store helmets upright on a shelf out of sunlight. Do not hang helmets from the chin strap. Do not store helmets wet or damp. Avoid stacking your helmets, as sustained compression can damage the shell.
