To ensure your life jacket remains effective and durable:
Rinse it with fresh water after each use to remove salt, sand, and debris.
Hang it to dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Inspect for signs of wear, such as frayed straps or damaged buoyant materials, and repair or replace as needed.
Store in a dry, cool place, avoiding prolonged exposure to heat and humidity.
Follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance and periodic inspection to ensure the jacket retains its buoyancy and safety features over time.
