Special Notes
• Avoid prolonged UV exposure
• Do not bleach — degrades aramid fibers
• Follow manufacturer instructions — varies by product
Additional Care Tips
- • Follow manufacturer care guidelines strictly — Kevlar is a specialized protective material
- • Store away from UV light (sunlight, fluorescent) which degrades aramid fibers over time
- • Do not bleach or use harsh chemicals — they weaken the fiber's protective properties
- • Professional cleaning recommended; hand wash cold with mild detergent if manufacturer permits
- • Air dry only — never tumble dry or iron; heat compromises the structural integrity
- • Inspect regularly for damage — cut or abraded Kevlar loses its protective value
