Body armour user manuals
Congratulations on your purchase of CANARMOR body armor, designed to provide superior protection in demanding environments. This manual provides essential information on carrying instructions and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your protective gear.
Carrying Instructions:
- Proper Fit: Ensure that the CANARMOR body armor fits snugly against your body without restricting movement. Adjust the straps and fastenings according to your body size and shape. Refer to the sizing guide provided by CANARMOR for the best fit.
- Positioning: Position the CANARMOR body armor properly on your torso, ensuring it covers vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and abdomen. The front panel should align with your chest, and the back panel should cover your spine for maximum protection.
- Layering: If wearing additional gear such as a tactical vest or load-bearing equipment, ensure that the CANARMOR body armor is worn underneath for maximum protection. Layering the body armor under other equipment helps maintain a low profile while offering optimal protection.
- Secure Fastenings: Double-check all straps, buckles, and Velcro fastenings to ensure they are securely fastened. Loose fastenings may compromise the effectiveness of the CANARMOR body armor during movement. Periodically check and readjust the fastenings as needed during use.
- Comfort: Adjust the CANARMOR body armor to ensure comfort during extended wear. Pay attention to pressure points and adjust straps accordingly to distribute weight evenly. Properly adjusted body armor enhances mobility and minimizes fatigue during prolonged use.
- Range of Motion: Test the range of motion while wearing the CANARMOR body armor to ensure it does not restrict your movements. Perform exercises such as bending, twisting, and reaching to ensure flexibility. The body armor should allow for a full range of motion without impeding your ability to perform tasks effectively.
- Accessibility: Ensure that any additional equipment or accessories, such as radio pouches or magazine holders, are easily accessible without compromising the fit or security of the CANARMOR body armor. Customize the setup according to your specific needs while maintaining functionality and comfort.
Maintenance Instructions:
- Regular Inspection: Inspect your CANARMOR body armor regularly for signs of wear, damage, or degradation. Check for tears, fraying, or loose stitching, especially around high-stress areas such as seams and edges. Promptly address any issues to prevent further damage and ensure continued protection.
- Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your CANARMOR body armor. Use a mild detergent and lukewarm water to gently clean the surface, paying attention to any soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the protective materials.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the CANARMOR body armor to air dry thoroughly before storage. Hang it or lay it flat in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure the body armor is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Storage: Store your CANARMOR body armor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Hang it or lay it flat to maintain its shape and integrity. Avoid folding or compressing the body armor, as this may cause creasing or deformation of the protective panels.

- Replacement: Monitor the condition of your CANARMOR body armor regularly and replace it if it shows signs of significant wear, damage, or expiration. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the lifespan of the body armor and replace it as needed to maintain optimal protection.
- Professional Inspection: Consider having your CANARMOR body armor professionally inspected and serviced on a regular basis, especially if it is used in high-risk or demanding environments. A qualified technician can assess the condition of the body armor and recommend any necessary repairs or replacements to ensure continued effectiveness.
