Can I use insect repellant on my gear?

The insect repellent you want to apply should be fine as long as there are no ozone products in the repellent.

Allow me to share with you what we know about the use of ozone products on our gear.

When placing items into ozone bags or the use of ozone products, it has the potential to damage the lamination on Pnuma gear. Ozone eliminators eat at the rubberization and elasticity, which break down the composition of the lamination.  If placed in the eliminators or if ozone sprays are applied, this then voids Pnuma's life

time warranty.

We have previously attempted to distinguish between products with differing levels of rubber or elastic which responded differently to our testing. However, we have continued to test the impact of ozone on our gear and are recommending that you not use ozone products on gear with elastic or rubber content. While it is possible that some garments will not be impacted, we prefer to err on the side of caution.

Please note our lifetime guarantee will not cover apparel damage to rubber or elastic caused by use of ozone products.
