Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen all shoulder and waist straps before putting the vest on. Adjust the waist bands until the vest is snug against your torso, then tighten the shoulder straps to ensure the front and back plates align with your chest and spine. Compatibility is broad, as the low-profile design easily fits under most off-road jerseys or over light base layers. For maintenance, regularly remove the inner padding for washing with mild soap and water to manage sweat accumulation. Ensure the plastic plates are wiped down with a damp cloth after each ride to prevent dirt buildup in the ventilation channels. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the biofoam.
