Can this vest be worn over a thick jacket?

How should I clean the safety vest?

The vest is machine washable at a low temperature (30-40°C) with mild detergent. It should be air-dried and not tumble-dried to protect the reflective material.

Does the vest come in other colors?

Yes, Salzmann offers this high-visibility safety vest in a range of colors, including orange, pink, and yellow, though availability may vary by size.

Is the vest heavy or bulky?

No, the vest is designed to be lightweight and easy to pack away, ensuring comfort for children during various outdoor activities without feeling cumbersome.

Troubleshooting

Reflective strips appear dirty or dull

Gently wipe the reflective strips with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Zip is difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to work the zip back and forth. If necessary, apply a small amount of wax or lubricant to the zip teeth.

Vest seems too large or too small

This vest is sized for children aged 7-8 years (UK size 7-8). Please refer to the size guide for other available sizes if a different fit is needed. Ensure it is worn over appropriate clothing for a proper fit.
