Product Care
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent purchase, as a small business we appreciate your custom and support. Please see below information regarding your TF weighted vest.
Fit
Our vests come as ‘one size fits most’. The vest should fit snug but not tight! The straps around the top have a fail safe wire running through the neck of the vest, so cannot be adjusted for health & safety reasons. Any attempt to adjust these straps will result in the vest becoming damaged and unfit for use, thus voiding the customer warranty. To ensure a safe and comfortable fit, please adjust the cumberbund straps at the bottom of the vest for the desired snug fit.
Wearing Instructions
To ensure a safe and comfortable fit, we recommend following the below instructions –
- Lift open the velcro patch around located at the front lower part of the vest
- Remove the waist straps/cumberbund straps from beneath the velcro panel at the bottom of the vest
- Lift the vest and place your head through the neck opening
- Bring the front panel down so it is resting on your chest
- Take the loose straps on your right and left and place them back onto the front velcro patch – ensuring that they are placed securely on the velcro
- Replace the velcro panel securely over the straps
- Once worn during training sessions, the vest will naturally loosen and adapt a more comfortable fit to your body shape
For further information on the above process please refer to the ‘highlights’ section on our Instagram page.
Additional weight
We at TF cannot recommend loading the vest with more than 10kg in weight. This is primarily for health and safety reasons, avoiding injury to our customers is paramount to us. We have had positive feedback from customers that have successfully trained with a TF vest after adding additional plates, however with safety in mind we advise against this. We have performed rigorous testing on our TF vest with both 70kg & 10kg weights, and our vest has stood the test of time, adding extra weight may cause damage to the vest and void your warranty.
Washing instructions
Depending on how much you use your vest, we recommend on cleaning it regularly to keep it in the best condition possible. Please follow the steps below –
- Remove the steel plates from the vest – this can be achieved by opening the velcro pockets at the base of the vests and sliding out the weighted plates
- Remove any patches that you have on the velcro panels
- Fully submerge the vest in cool water mixed with washing detergent (please do not use fabric softener)
- Allow the vest to sit in the water for a few minutes, use a soft brush to gently remove any residues or build up that have accumulated post workout.
- Empty the water and replace with clean cool water to rinse the vest, do this until the water is clean
- Lay the vest out flat between 2 towels and press with force to remove excess water – DO NOT TWIST OR WRING OUT THE VEST
- Lay the vest out flat in a warm dry place, turn it occasionally to sure both sides are fully dry before reinserting the weight plates
