• Use minimal baby powder to remove odours
• Always use cotton inners or wraps to prevent excessive sweat ruining the stitching/materials in products, Sweat/Rot damage is not warrantable

• Do not do push ups in boxing gloves unless they have “push up zone” printed on them
• If the product is marked “washable,” Hand wash separately in cold water, do not tumble dry, avoid washing more than 4 times per year

BAGS

• It’s recommended you have your equipment installed by a qualified tradesman to check what you are fixing into is suitable for the considerable forces that are generated with use.
• If you change the fittings or filling or adjust the strap/chain lengths you will void your warranty.
• Only use surgical spear gun rubber to fix the bag to the floor with the tie down feature
