Product Care Instructions

To ensure your Pilots Edge gear stays in top condition, we've put together these care instructions for our most popular product categories. By following these simple guidelines, you can extend the life of your aviation gear and keep it performing at its best.

Apparel (T-Shirts, Hoodies, and Uniforms)

Washing: Use cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents.
Drying: Air-dry when possible to maintain fabric quality. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
Ironing: Use a low to medium heat setting. Avoid ironing directly over printed designs.

Flight Bags and Luggage

Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material damage.
Zippers: Lubricate zippers occasionally with a zipper-specific lubricant to keep them functioning smoothly.

Aviation Headsets

Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the headset after each use. Avoid using water or cleaning products on electronic components.
Storage: Store in a protective case to avoid damage when not in use.
Maintenance: Check ear seals and microphone covers regularly for wear and replace them as needed.

Kneeboards and Accessories

Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For leather kneeboards, use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain flexibility and durability.
Storage: Keep in a dry environment to avoid warping or material degradation.

Pilot Sunglasses

Cleaning: Rinse lenses with warm water and gently clean using a microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels or abrasive materials that can scratch the lenses.
Storage: Keep in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches or damage.
Avoid: Exposure to high heat, such as leaving sunglasses in a hot cockpit or car.

Electronics (Battery Packs, Radios, etc.)

Cleaning: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid water or cleaning products near electrical ports.
Charging: Use only the charger provided with the product or recommended by the manufacturer.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry location to preserve battery life and avoid overheating.

Custom Gear (Mugs, Model Airplanes, and Desk Accessories)

Mugs: Hand wash with mild soap to protect designs. Avoid dishwashers unless the item is labeled dishwasher-safe.
Model Airplanes: Dust regularly using a soft brush or cloth. Keep away from moisture to prevent damage.
Desk Accessories: Wipe with a soft cloth and avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
