UV radiation is probably the biggest factor when it comes to the lifespan of a paraglider. So it's best not to leave your equipment in the sun unnecessarily. When carrying, you can reduce the stress on the material by making sure that the canopy does not drag across the ground. Sand and dust can act like sandpaper, so it helps to avoid them. Should you ever need to remove stains, please use only water and no cleaning agents/brushes. When it comes to storage, we recommend: dry, loosely packed, well ventilated and dark.
