Proper care and storage your jacket will help your jacket to maintain its structural integrity and buoyancy. It’s easy, here are a few tips:

1. If you used your vest in salt water or water that seems especially dirty, rinse your jacket thoroughly with fresh water. (If you just used it in relatively clean fresh water, you can skip this step). 
2. Thoroughly dry your jacket after each use.
3. Store your jacket in a cool and dry place.
4. Do not keep your jacket in direct sun for prolonged periods of time.
5. Avoid unnecessary compression of the jacket, especially during storage.
6. Do not store your jacket in extreme heat.

Maybe. Our jackets are made of nylon fabric, buoyancy inserts (either plastic foam or Kapok) and some hardware. Over time these components may degrade or lose their structural integrity. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend that jackets should be replaced every 5 years or after 300 days of use (whichever comes first). Also, we recommend an annual inspection of the jacket at the beginning of every season:

1. A visual inspection: make sure there are no holes or obvious tears in the fabric or seams.
2. Check the hardware, make sure the zippers buckle and webbing are in good condition.
3. Test swim your life jacket in some calm and protected water.

If your jacket seems to float less than you remember from previous year, or if you’ve discovered any other damage, it may be time for a new one.
