To begin using the vest, ensure you have a compatible 5,000mA power bank with a standard USB connection. Connect the power bank inside the designated pocket and activate the internal switch to begin heating. Always remove the power bank before cleaning the garment. To maintain the life of the vest and its heating elements, hand wash only in cool water and allow it to air dry thoroughly. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or ironing, as these actions may damage the integrated electrical components. Store the vest in a dry place when not in use for extended periods.
