FAQs

Is this a life-saving device?

No, the Konges Sløjd Ellis Swim Vest is a buoyancy aid designed to help children feel more secure in the water. It is not a substitute for adult supervision, which is always required when children are near or in water.

What age range is this swim vest for?

This specific size (2-3) is generally suitable for children aged 2 to 3 years. Always refer to the size guide and your child's measurements for the best fit.

How should I clean the swim vest?

The swim vest should be hand washed only using cold water and a mild detergent. It should then be drip dried in the shade.

Can I machine wash or tumble dry the swim vest?

No, machine washing and tumble drying are not recommended as they can damage the neoprene and polyester materials. Always follow the hand wash and drip dry instructions.

What is the material of the swim vest?

The swim vest is made from 80% polychloroprene rubber (neoprene) and 20% polyester.

Where is the swim vest made?

This product is made in China.

What does 'Ahoy' refer to?

'Ahoy' is the designer's name for this specific blue colorway of the Ellis Swim Vest.

Troubleshooting

Swim vest feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure the front zipper is fully closed and the clip fastening is secured. Adjust the fit by ensuring the vest lies flat against the body without pinching. The vest should be snug enough not to ride up, but not so tight that it restricts breathing or comfort.

Material has a slight odor upon arrival.

This can be normal for neoprene products. Air the vest out in a well-ventilated area or rinse it with cool water and allow it to dry completely before first use.

Zipper is difficult to close.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down a few times. If it persists, consider a small amount of wax on the zipper teeth (ensure it's safe for skin contact).
