pants higher than normal may have caused a shorter measurement, or if any factors like wearing a 
thicker shirt or using a metal tape measure may have caused a larger measurement. 

We want you to be happy and get the best performance possible from your KewlFlow Personal 
Cooling System. Selecting the correct size vest is the first (and perhaps most important) step in the 
process. After you receive your vest, it is recommended that you adjust the elastic straps to obtain the 
best fit. 

See the "Adjusting the Vest to Fit You Correctly" section of the Vest User Guide for instructions. 

Adjusting Your Vest 
 

The first step in adjusting your KewlFlow Personal Cooling Vest to fit you properly is to verify that the 

length

 of the vest is correct.  If you have not already read the Vest Sizing Guide section, please refer to 

the second figure that shows where the bottom end of the Vest Zipper should be located on your body 
when wearing the vest.  Don't worry if the vest is initially adjusted too small or large for your chest and 
waist - it's the length that you want to check first. 
 
If the length is far outside of the recommended range, please do not flow water through the vest.  We 
will gladly exchange it for another size.  Please read our Return Policy at the end of this guide for 
details.  A return charge will apply if water flows through it, so please be sure you have the right size 
before you flow water through the vest. 
 
If you have verified that the vest length is correct, but feel that it fits you too tightly or loosely, the six 
Elastic Straps at the sides of the vest can be adjusted for a custom fit.  To adjust, please follow these 
steps: 
 
1. Remove the Velcro Wrap from each of the six Elastic Straps and set them aside.  You will reinstall 
them later.  Then unfold each Strap as shown in the figure to the left. 
 
2. Push the end of each Strap out from the black metal Adjuster (as shown in the figure to the right) so 
the Strap lies straight and flat as shown below.  
 
3. Each Strap can now be pulled easily through its Adjuster to lengthen or shorten as required to adjust 
the gap between the Front and Back Panels of the Vest. 
 
4. Try on the Vest and readjust the Straps as required until you obtain a snug but comfortable fit.  When 
you are satisfied with the fit, slip each Strap back through its Adjuster, as shown in the figure to the 
right. 
 
5.  Fold up the excess length of the each Strap and secure each with a Velcro Wrap.
