How to maintain the waterproof breathable valve?

1. Keep it clean: To ensure the proper operation of the vent, it must be kept clean. Their primary role is to keep dust and grime from getting inside your gear, but they can themselves cause contamination if not cleaned and maintained properly. Therefore, the waterproof and breathable valve should be cleaned regularly with warm water and neutral detergent. Care should be taken when cleaning to avoid scratching the surface and to ensure that moisture ingress is minimized.

2. Check for damage: Regularly check whether the waterproof and breathable valve is damaged. If you find them damaged or scratched, replace the vent with a new one immediately.

3. Check the tightness: Check whether the waterproof and breathable valve is installed correctly, and make sure the seal is good. If necessary, replace the seal or use clear easy-peel tape for an added seal.

4. Check the breathing channel: The function of the waterproof breathable valve is to allow the exchange of air inside and outside the equipment to maintain normal pressure. Regularly check the breathing passages for obstruction and clean the passages regularly to ensure breathability.
5. Avoid Exposure: The waterproof breathable valve should avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Excessive sun exposure can cause them to swell, age and fail. If you need to expose it to the outdoors during the hot summer months, consider placing a shade next to it to keep the temperature down and out of direct sunlight.

6. Choose the correct vent: Different equipment may require different types of vents. When choosing, the correct choice should be made according to factors such as equipment type, working conditions and expected service life.
