FIT INSTRUCTIONS:
ADJUSTING LENGTH
Attach or remove the neck and bottom extensions to custom fit your protector. Recommended coverage is from your collarbone past your last rib on each side. Protection past that point is optional since there are no vulnerable boney parts beyond the lowest ribs.
CONFIGURATION TIP:
No Neck/No Bottom: 12 inches
Neck Only: Up to 13 ½ inches
Bottom Only: Up to 15 inches
Neck & Bottom: Up to 16 ½ inches
ADJUSTING WIDTH
Your protector is a standard 14 inches wide across the chest. The optional “wing” components may be attached to each side expanding the effective width to 19 inches.
CONFIGURATION TIP:
The wing extenders provide extra protection for those with wider chests. They are adjustable in and out for a custom fit.
ADJUSTING SHOULDERS
Attach the shoulder protection at the desired angle to precisely match your body. For maximum protection, the shoulder pads should face forward and not rest directly on top of your shoulders. Adjust the length and position of the shoulder components for maximum protection and comfort. When adjusting the middle plate, make sure that it overlaps the protector and the outer plate.
CONFIGURATION TIP:
Place shoulder component on flat surface. Position the protector body over the pad and secure the Velcro when satisfied with custom positioning. Repeat for opposite shoulder.
ADJUSTING HARNESS
The four point Y-harness system makes custom adjustments quick and easy. Premium quality, heavy duty straps keep the protector properly fitted for maximum protection. The elastic waist strap is attached to the body of the protector with high impact plastic snaps.
CONFIGURATION TIP:
Adjust the lower strap to secure a snug fit around the waist. Then, adjust the other three harness straps to insure that the protector is properly positioned on the front of your body to provide maximum protection.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Your protector is made of premium quality, heavy-duty materials that will provide many years of excellent service if properly maintained. Please read the care instructions attached to the protector. Do not use heat to dry your protector! Drying with heat will compromise the aramid fiber.
MAINTENANCE TIP:
Cleaning with a spray disinfectant after each use will keep your protector sanitary and fresh. If you hand wash with a mild detergent and water, air dry. DO NOT USE HEAT!
