CARE & MAINTENANCE

Storage: Hang garment in a dry, ventilated environment, out of sunlight and away from direct heat sources. Do not leave on the floor or under heavy items – it may lead to the protectors becoming misshapen, ripped, or damaged in some way. Do not fold jacket or protector in half as this may cause damage to the protector. Keep away from chemical substances that that could damage the material and lose its protective properties.

Maintenance: Regular inspection (at least annually) should be made to the impact protection and fitting system for obvious signs of wear. If the impact protectors are worn or damaged or there is any doubt as to their condition, they should be replaced immediately. It is advised that the protectors are replaced every 5 years regardless of condition.

If the protectors have at any time received an impact due to an accident scenario they should be replaced immediately.

Wash Care: Carefully remove protectors from the garment before washing. The protectors should be cleaned by hand wash only.
