Please do not ship wet gear back to us. It doesn’t take long for mold to establish. You are responsible for returning gear in as close to the condition you received it. Gear should be returned to us in as close to the condition as you received. This means you’ll need to remove any excess dirt, mud and sand prior to returning the gear. Same with food on a stove, mud on a backpack, dirt on a sleeping bag – you get the picture. If the gear is wet, call us and we can work something out.
