Products
Are the backpacks water resistent?
Our products are strongly water-repellent and the materials are even waterproof. All fabrics are equipped with an laminated foil on the inside from on TPU, PU or PVC which makes the material impermeable up to a water pressure of 1.500 mm. However it is possible that by an extreme flow of water, moisture could get in through seams and zippers. Therefore we speak of “water-repellent” and not “waterproof”. We constantly try to improve these functions on our products. On many items we use water-repellant zippers. Our cotton canvas is equipped with an eco-friendly silicone impregnation (DWR) so that water does not penetrate into the fibers and just rolls off. Depending on the use this effect might weaken after some time.
I would like to renew the water repellency. What products can I use for impregnating your materials?
Our cotton canvas (Original Series) is equipped with an eco-friendly silicone impregnation (DWR) so that water does not penetrate into the fibers and just rolls off. Depending on the use this effect might weaken after some time. If the water is on the fabric and that section begins to darken slightly, water is making its way to the fibers and wetting them, it's time to revive your DWR finish by using a common spray.
You can find this spray in sporting good stores or even a drug store around the corner. Follow the instructions carefully and test it on a less obvious area first. You can apply such a DWR-impregnation spray on all our products, except the one made from polyurethane (Lotus Series).
Are your products vegan-friendly?
All Ucon Acrobatics products that are vegan-friendly. We do not use any real leather on our products. Since a few months we are also an official partner of PETA and have the 'vegan approved' certificate.
Where can I see Ucon Acrobatics "live"? I would like to check the quality before buying
We currently sell our collection in over 400 retail stores worldwide and growing season after season. From Berlin via Singapore to Japan - in our Store Locator you will hopefully find a store near by.
I have seen an item which seems to be no longer in stock
Some of our most desirable products are running out of stock very quickly, so be quick before it’s gone. However, some of our products are running styles which will be frequently restocked. Keep an eye on the shop or visit our 'Store Locator' to contact a retail store near you.
Do magnets cause problems for my electronic devices?
Cameras, vehicle keys, memory cards, USD sticks, CD’s, DVD’s, cell phones and smart phones contain non-magnetic storage media. Therefore, static magnetic fields near those devices can not delete data or permanently damage them. However, compact laptop hard drives and credit cards are more sensitive towards permanent magnets. When in doubt, keep these devices away from magnets.
My product is dirty. What is the best way of cleaning it?
Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Please do not bleach, tumble dry and iron. Our cotton based products are treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish on silicone base. This finish can be removed if rubbed too much. If the water sits on the fabric and that section begins to darken slightly, water is making its way to the fibers and wetting them. It's time to revive your DWR finish by using a common spray based on silicone.
You can find this spray in sporting good stores or even a drug store around the corner. Follow the instructions carefully and test it on a less obvious area first. You can apply such a DWR-impregnation spray on all our products, except the one made from polyurethane (Lotus Series).
The product I'm looking for is sold out. How do I know when it will be back in stock?
Normally we reorder our items very quickly. The best way is to click on the "Notify" button next to the product. In addition, you will always be informed about the latest product developments via our newsletter.
Does the color of the 'Original Series' rub off?
For our 'Original Series' material (16oz cotton) we follow the DIN norm 'colour fastness against rubbing' (ISO 105-X12:2016). The material is additionally provided with a water- and dirt-repellent impregnation based on environmentally friendly silicone. Unfortunately, it cannot be completely guaranteed that a dark material will not rub off on light-coloured clothing, because materials in darker colours tend to have a lower resistance to abrasion than materials in lighter colours.
