Durability, Maintenance, and Repair

Outex underwater products are built to last.  When properly maintained all of our components can last as long as your camera equipment. There's a dedicated Maintenance entry on this topic, but in summary: Rinse the Outex parts with mild soap and water after use to rinse and clean. Use a toothbrush to remove detritus from the threads or openings the human hand may not reach. Pad components dry with a towel or cloth and let them dry before reassembling parts back together. Avoid storing it wet or assembled. Store in a dry, cool place, just as you would your camera gear. Refrain from compressing the cover too tightly when stored, to avoid creating fold-marks. Protect the cover when installed on a camera by using our carrying case during transport, even inside a backpack, to avoid hitting other hard objects.
