FAQs

Yes, the vest includes strategically placed pockets designed to hold essentials securely.
How should I store the vest?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV degradation of the waterproof coating.

Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be worn off. Apply a specialized DWR wash-in treatment to restore water beading.
Visible salt build-up on the zipper
Rinse the zipper with fresh water and use a soft brush to remove salt. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if the zipper becomes stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gear, always follow the care label instructions. Because this vest is fully seam-sealed, avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners that can degrade the waterproof membrane. After sailing in saltwater, rinse the vest with fresh water to prevent salt crystals from damaging the fabric. The vest fits true to size, but consider how many layers you intend to wear underneath before selecting your size to ensure a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.
