Maintenance / Inspection
Proper maintenance of the SNUG will maximize its longevity.
• Avoid excessive exposure to UV, heat and humidity
• Always ensure the harness is completely dry before packing it away
• Always store it in a cool, dry environment
• Never drag your harness over the ground
• Keep your harness clean of dirt, oils and any corrosive substances
• If necessary, the harness may be cleaned using mild soap and a soft brush
Replacement parts can be ordered from your BGD dealer.
Routine inspections of all of your equipment is vitally important for your safety. BGD recommends a service interval
of 24 months in addition to the usual pre-flight checks.
For inspection, visually check the stitching, webbing and all structurally important areas. Pay particular attention to
the webbing around the hangpoint area under the karabiners, as this is where abrasion is most likely.
For the back protector, pay particular attention to all of the stitching, to the outer material, and the thickness. The
protector should not remain squashed or deformed and its thickness should not be less than 140mm.
