Transport
• It is preferable to store your equipment in a pack to protect it.
• With a backpack, take care that crampon points or sharp objects don't damage your helmet, ropes, or slings.
• When traveling by truck, train, plane, or boat, the temperatures can be extreme and can degrade the products. For
example, never leave your textile equipment or helmets under a window or in the trunk of a car that is exposed to direct
sunlight. The temperature can be higher than 80 °C.
• In the trunk of a car, for example, pay attention to your equipment's possible proximity to gas cans, car batteries, or
cleaners (risk of leaking). Warning: any contact with chemical products, harsh or corrosive substances (e.g. acids) is
prohibited. If you have a doubt, retire your equipment.
