•Do not contaminate the Sleeping Pad with Deet-based insect repellants, sunscreen, or chlorine.
• Do not expose Sleeping Pad to long periods of direct sunlight.
• Keep Sleeping Pad away from your pets.
• UPON PURCHASE: Your new Sleeping Pad has been stored tightly rolled since production, Inflate the Pad, Top it Up with a few breaths, close the valve and store inflated overnight, this will allow the foam to expand to its full potential as well a great test for the sleeping pad against any defects
•STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:Store your Gear Doctors Sleeping Pad unrolled, filled with air and in a dry place, with its valve open.
(Suggestions: under a bed or a couch), because the sleeping pad foam tends to "remember" the shape it holds most often, your sleeping pad will self-inflate faster if stored unrolled.
If the sleeping pad is left damp for a long time, mildew may damage the cover, this is not covered by the warranty.
•WAYS TEST BEFORE YOUR TRIP:The sleeping pad is a very critical piece of gear, bad storage conditions could damage your sleeping pad, so please inflate your sleeping pad with the valve closed overnight and test for any problems before you hit the road.
