Before using outdoor – Refer to the user manual here!
Elastic expanders provide safety of use and adjustment possibility when HIDEOUT is used as a blanket or poncho. They are designed to take over any stresses arising during use. When the stresses or forces acting on the HIDEOUT are greater than the expanding capacity, the expander elastic cord will slip out of the hook. This is the last signal and the intended protection against damage. In this way, the plastic hooks at the ends of the expanders act as fuses.
Inserting the end of the elastic cord back into the hook is very easy – lift the flap on the top side of the hook, insert the end of the expander into the gap between the flap and the main part of the hook, and close the flap. Do not allow the end of the expander to slip out of the hook – this means that the forces and stresses acting on the HIDEOUT are too big and may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Even if the fabric is waterproof and vapor permeable intense use of the HIDEOUT may occur moisture inside. It can come from both condensed water vapor (dew point) and after prolonged contact of the material with water.
These are natural phenomena.
Repair patch
Each HIDEOUT comes with a repair patch in case something breaks.
Just clean and dry the damaged area.
Gently remove the adhesive surface protection and apply the patch.
Press down and wait 20 minutes – ready.
