Using this jacket is easy. Just put it on like any regular jacket and adjust the cuffs and waist to your comfort. The arm volume adjusters can be tightened to secure the armor. If you're wearing pants with a compatible attachment, use the 8” zipper to connect them. For safety, make sure the reflective panels are visible. When it comes to maintenance, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, you can machine - wash it on a gentle cycle. After washing, let it air dry. Check the armor regularly for any signs of damage and replace it if needed. Avoid sharp objects that could tear the high - abrasion fabric. Keep the zippers clean to ensure smooth operation.
