How do I
clean a SWAYGO Pack?
1. Why no handles?
We found that the
pack has such a low profile that you rarely need to take it off.
When you do, the Tuck & Roll closure provides a nice handle, as
do the straps.

2. Is a SWAYGO Pack waterproof?
Yes. If the pack
is loaded and closed properly, you'll never find water in this
pack. We have been testing prototypes for over a year and a half
and the packs have remained dry in waterfalls, stream crawls,
float trips, etc..
While the SWAYGO pack concept and materials are waterproof, you should always
place additional protection with your gear when using the pack. As a
example, if you have a nice digital camera...pad it and place it in a
waterproof container anyway. The pack is intended to keep water
and mud out while CLOSED. The more it is opened, the more likely one
can introduce water and mud and the possibility of damaging the packs
contents.

3. Does SWAYGO make a larger pack?
Yes, there are 3
different sized packs with the same design, the
PUSH,
the PIT
and the SINK.

4. What's RF welding?
RF or Radio
Frequency welding is a clean, strong way to bond two materials
together using heat and pressure. In RF welding, a die is made
of the areas to be bonded. Then, radio frequency waves are sent
through two pieces of material that are held together with heavy
pressure. These waves heat the material only where it contacts
the die. The heated areas create an impermeable molecular bond.
The molecules accelerate and realign to form a single piece of
material. The resulting seam is impossible to pull apart and is
many times stronger than the original material.

5. Where can I buy a SWAYGO Push, Pit or
Sink Pack?
You can purchase
SWAYGO products
directly from our website.

6. Are there other SWAYGO Pack colors?
We're working with
the material manufacturer for some other color options for the
pack. However, to distinguish the different packs there
are different Quick Strap and carabiner colors for each.
The PUSH is yellow, the PIT is blue, and the SINK is red.

7. What is "Cave-worthy?"
This is a term
you’ll see throughout our literature and website. We use it to
describe something that performs the way it should under the
extreme conditions found in caves.

8. Will the grommet or holes pull out?
We are confident
in the quality of our materials and construction. We also know
that cavers can destroy anything. Our testing has proven the
grommets and holes to hold up to just about anything we can dish
out. But just in case, all SWAYGO products carry a Lifetime
Warranty. If you have a concern, let us know and we’ll make it
right.

9. How do I clean a SWAYGO Pack?
The easiest way to
clean a pack is to spray it with a garden hose. Or wipe it with
a wet rag if you really want it clean. Do not machine wash or
dry SWAYGO packs. Air-dry or wipe inside and out. However,
leaving it dirty will not hurt the material.
Here's a pic to
show how you can buckle the pack open to let it dry after
washing:
