Care and cleaning


COMFORTSHIELD™ should be properly stored when not in use. In order to maintain and protect optimal ballistic performance of your COMFORTSHIELD™, it should be stored at normal room temperature in a dry place. When not in use, avoid storing your COMFORTSHIELD™ in places where it is exposed to persistent high temperatures (120F and above) in combination with high humidity (50% and above) for long uninterrupted periods of time (two weeks or more). Ordinary daily temperature and humidity conditions experienced while wearing your vest during routine shifts will not have an adverse affect on your COMFORTSHIELD's performance. Vests should be stored flat in individual bags or storage devices separate from other vests or equipment. Vests stored together with other vests, or not separated from other similar equipment, are prone to damage caused by:

VELCRO™ fasteners unintentionally engaging.

Sharp edges on metal equipment, which can tear fabric.

Components becoming entangled with other components.

Abrasion with other equipment, which can damage coatings or surfaces of fasteners.

To clean the ballistic panels, follow these instructions:

Remove the ballistic panels from the outer shell carrier.

Gently hand wash the panels with a sponge or wash cloth using mild detergent. Wipe off any excess detergent with clean water using the same procedure.

DO NOT DRY CLEAN.

DO NOT COMMERCIAL LAUNDER.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE BALLISTIC PANELS TO BLEACH (LIQUID OR VAPOUR).

DO NOT SUBMERSE BALLISTIC PANELS.

Wipe dry.

Ensure ballistic panels are completely dry before re-inserting into outer shell carrier.

To clean the outer shell carrier, follow these instructions:

Remove all equipment from the outer shell carrier.

Remove the ballistic panels from the outer shell carrier.

Engage all VELCRO™ fasteners to reduce damage during the washing and drying cycles.

Machine wash the outer shell carrier using "Durable Press" (warm) cycle at medium/warm water temperature (approximately 105°F).

Use low-sudsing detergent according to the detergent manufacturer's directions.

DO NOT USE BLEACH.

Outer shell carrier may be tumble-dried at medium (warm) temperature setting, or may be line dried.

Outer shell carrier may be commercially laundered following similar directions.

DO NOT DRY CLEAN.

Outer shell carrier must be completely dry prior to re-inserting the ballistic panels
