Guide / 01
Secure small items before the start
Compare your phone and case with the chest-pocket dimensions, close the zip and check the fit while moving. Keep keys or other hard objects in a separate shoulder pocket.
Guide / 02
Do not assume mud or water protection
The chest pocket is water-resistant, not waterproof, and no mud-protection rating is stated. Use additional protection for your phone where the course is wet or muddy.
Guide / 03
Follow the product care steps
The care guidance recommends hand washing with mild detergent and hanging the vest to dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid ironing and tumble drying.
