How to use: Simply put on the vest like you would any other piece of outerwear. The adjustable draw - cord hem can be tightened or loosened according to your preference. Use the chest and lumbar pockets to store small essentials. The lumbar pocket can also be used as a stuff sack when you're packing up. If you want a pillow, just convert the large rear pocket into a stuff sack and add some extra items for cushioning. Precautions: Avoid sharp objects that could tear the fabric. Don't expose the vest to extremely high temperatures. Maintenance: It's recommended to machine wash the vest on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Hang it to dry. Avoid using fabric softeners as they may affect the water - repellent properties of the materials.
