FAQs
Is this vest machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash the vest in cool water to protect the reflective materials and the longevity of the fabric.
Can this be worn over a body protector?
Yes, the vest is designed to be worn as an outer layer and can accommodate a standard child's body protector underneath.
Does the size 10 refer to age or standard dress size?
The size 10 in this product range corresponds to the children's UK sizing category, generally suited for the age-appropriate bracket.
Is this garment waterproof?
The vest is primarily designed for high visibility and is not marketed as a waterproof or weather-protective garment.
Why is it important to wear this during the day?
The fluorescent color is highly effective at drawing attention in all lighting conditions, helping the rider stand out against typical outdoor backgrounds.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes difficult to fasten
Check that no clothing or debris is trapped in the teeth of the zipper; ensure the child is not wearing excessive bulky layers underneath.
Reflective strips appear dull
Wipe the strips with a damp, soft cloth to remove mud or dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, the vest should be worn as the outer layer over your child's regular riding clothes. For sizing, please refer to the specific UK age group provided on the label to ensure a comfortable fit. To care for the vest, it is recommended to hand wash it in cool water with a mild detergent; avoid bleaching or heavy scrubbing, as this can degrade the reflective strips. Always hang the garment to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the reflective coating.
