FAQs
Can this vest be tumble dried?

How often should I wash the vest?
It is recommended to wash only when necessary, as the reflective properties are limited to a maximum of five machine washes.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use only a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and non-biological detergents to protect the high-visibility fabric.

Can I iron the vest to remove creases?

Troubleshooting
Zip is difficult to move or feels stuck
Check for fabric caught in the teeth or debris; gently clear the area and ensure the vest is not being pulled tight while zipping.
Vest appears less bright after long-term use
Ensure the vest has not been washed more than five times and that the surface is free of thick mud or dust, which should be wiped off gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The vest is designed for immediate use right out of the packaging with no complex adjustments required beyond the front zip. To keep the reflective materials effective, follow the cleaning guidelines strictly: machine wash only at 30 degrees Celsius using a mild, non-biological detergent. Do not exceed five washes to ensure the integrity of the reflective strips. Crucially, avoid all harsh chemicals such as bleach, and never place the vest in a tumble dryer or use an iron, as high heat can damage the high-visibility coating.
