Protect Your Armor - So It Protects You
Removable trail armor is designed to be:
- reusable
- durable
- long-lasting
But like any high-performance gear:
👉 how you store it matters
Proper storage keeps your armor:
- ready for your next trip
- performing at its best
- looking great
The Golden Rule of Storage
Clean. Dry. Flat.
That’s it.
Step 1: Clean Before Storing
After a trail run, your armor may have:
- dust
- mud
- debris
Before storing:
- rinse with water
- gently wipe clean
- remove dirt buildup
Step 2: Let It Fully Dry
Never store armor wet.
Moisture can:
- affect adhesion performance
- trap debris
- reduce lifespan
👉 Always let panels air dry completely before storage.
💡 PRO TIP: Store Smarter, Not Harder
Use the MEK Carry & Storage Bag to make storage effortless.
- roll up your armor (magnetic or nano-hold)
- store it compactly - about the size of a camping chair
- protect panels with heavy-duty material designed for durability
The bag is specifically engineered to:
- protect your armor during storage and transport
- help panels naturally flatten back out when unrolled
- keep everything organized and trail-ready
👉 This turns storage into grab-and-go convenience for your next adventure.
Step 3: Store Flat (Best Practice if not using the MEK Carry Bag)
The ideal storage method:
- lay panels flat
- avoid bending or folding
- keep shape intact
💡 Pro Tip
If stacking panels:
- place soft material between them
- avoid pressure points
Step 4: Choose the Right Location
Store armor in a place that is:
- cool
- dry
- out of direct sunlight
Avoid:
- extreme heat
- high humidity
- prolonged UV exposure
Storage Options That Work Well
- garage shelf
- flat storage bin
- protective bag
- wall-mounted flat rack
Magnetic vs Nano-Hold Storage
Both systems store easily - but here’s what to know:
🧲 Magnetic Armor
- store flat to maintain panel shape
- keep surfaces clean to avoid debris transfer
⚙️ Nano-Hold Armor
- keep backing surface clean
- avoid dust contamination
- store flat for best performance
💥 Key Takeaway
Clean surface = strong performance next time
What NOT to Do
Avoid these common mistakes:
❌ folding panels
❌ stacking unevenly
❌ storing dirty
❌ storing wet
❌ leaving in extreme heat
