How do I clean the vest?
You should hand wash the vest with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and do not machine dry or iron it.
Can I use this vest for racing?

What does 'Unisex Cap' mean in the description?
This refers to the vest's design being suitable for all genders. The 'Cap' might be a mistranslation or refers to a specific design element; the vest itself is adjustable for a wide range of users.
Does the vest come with hydration bottles?

How do I adjust the fit?
The vest features adjustable side straps. Slip the vest on, then pull the straps to tighten or loosen the fit until it is snug and comfortable, ensuring it stays in place without restricting movement.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels too tight or restrictive
Loosen the side adjustment straps. Ensure the vest is pulled down evenly on your shoulders.
Vest is bouncing during activity
Tighten the side adjustment straps slightly. Ensure items in the pockets are balanced.
Material feels damp or heavy
This is normal for cotton in humid conditions or with sweat. Ensure proper ventilation by adjusting straps and consider an alternative material for very hot or wet races.
Pockets do not hold items securely
Ensure items are placed deep within the pockets and that the vest is properly adjusted. For smaller items, consider using a small zipper pouch.
