5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Kriega Rally Pack.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and waterproof coating.

Here are some common issues and their solutions:
6.1. Water Ingress
