Why A Weapon Bag Is The Right Choice

No Matter the Season, This Weapon Bag Will Come to the Rescue

Any weapon owner will tell you that the fear of rust and corrosion is a real struggle. Once a firearm begins to show signs of rust, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep the piece looking its best, and then functionality begins to fade as well. One of the tricky things about preventing rust is that the very use of the firearm creates the perfect environment for rust to develop. The sweat from a person’s hand, if not carefully cleaned and then dried off the trigger, can lead to rust and corrosion quite quickly given the right conditions. 

The threat of rust exists throughout all the seasons for different reasons. Regardless of the season, however, VCI weapon bags from ZeRust Products can help stave off rust and corrosion. 

Hot Weather Threats

Most people probably think first about spring and summer when wondering about rust risks to their firearms. The weather is hot, the air can be humid, and then you have the occasional summer rain as well. In terms of sweat from the hand, your hand is more likely to sweat when the weather is warm, and you most likely will not be wearing gloves that will create a boundary between your hand and the firearm. 

All of these worries are entirely legitimate. Moisture of any kind of a weapon to any metal tool, firearm or otherwise. But no matter how hot or damp the weather gets, storing your firearm in a VCI bag will protect it from rust and corrosion. That is because a VCI bag, especially a high-quality VCI firearm bag from ZeRust Products, seals and surrounds your firearm in a protective vapor that defends it against the mixture of air and moisture that creates rust. 

Cold Weather Threats

Given the fears about rust that exist during hot weather, it may seem like cold weather would pose a lesser threat. However, rust and corrosion can still develop rapidly even when the weather is cool. One of the biggest problems is that gun owners do not always properly clean and dry their weapons before storing them. This leads to the weapon still having moisture on it while it is tucked away in a dark case or on a dark shelf. A VCI bag for your gun will help prevent rust and corrosion but, regardless of whether you use a VCI or not, it is essential to thoroughly clean and then thoroughly dry your firearm before storing it. Even the best VCI bag will not work if a firearm with moisture still on it is sealed.

All year long, the best protection for your weapon is sealing it in a protective VCI weapon bag from ZeRust Products. With the correct preparation and through correct use of the VCI bag, your gun will remain rust-free for years to come.
