How does the ventilation work?

Troubleshooting
Protector feels too tight or too loose
Readjust the Velcro shoulder straps and the plastic hooks at the waist for a more personalized fit. Ensure the side elastic is also properly tensioned.
Ventilation seems insufficient
Ensure the removable inner padding is correctly installed and is clean. Check that the ventilation openings on the plastic plates are not obstructed.
Straps are difficult to adjust
Gently pull the Velcro straps to adjust. If they feel stiff, ensure they are clean and free of debris.
Plastic components feel stiff
The biofoam padding is designed to soften and conform to the body with body heat during use. Allow a break-in period.
