FOLDING AND PACKING THE BLADDER
While the bladder can be packed into the vest pouches without much care to folding, it is more
esthetically pleasing and easier to snap the edges if the bladder is tucked in while it is packed into the
vest pouches. Start by removing all of the gas from the bladder. Gather the two lapels and the collar
portion of the bladder together and squeeze all of the air out, while simultaneously holding open the
over pressure valve cord.
1. Lay the bladder flat, remove all air—
roll up the bladders, kneel on them
while pulling the cord on the over-
pressure-valve
Begin with the lapels:
2. Tuck under the bladder
with your thumbs to fold
within itself
3. Use the oral tube to expel
the last bit of gas.
4. Seal the ends with the
Velcro
5. Tuck in the over pressure
cord behind the Velcro
6. Seat the actuator with
new cylinders and Velcro to
place
