Your questions, answered
What size do I need?
Measure your underbust, not your chest. If you wear a small in a crop top, you are a small in a Zena vest. If you are larger than a C cup, size up. And if you get it wrong, you have 30 days to send it back and free exchanges.
Do I wear a bra underneath the vest?
Yes. The vest protects you from impact, it does not provide bust support. Wear it over a sports bra or crop top.
Is the vest restrictive?
No. The garment weighs 5.6 oz and is contoured to the body. The patented injection moulding is extremely lightweight and flexible.
What exactly does it cover?
The panel covers the sternum, breast and rib area. That is the patent.
Which sports is it for?
Soccer, lacrosse, rugby, softball, flag football, AFL, basketball, and any other contact sport. One vest covers every sport she plays.
Can the vest be seen under a jersey?
No. The vest is developed to be as discreet as possible and is not visible under a playing jersey.
How do you know it absorbs up to 75% of impact?
Four years of development and sports science impact testing with Deakin University and the Centre for Sports Research in Australia.
Is the vest machine washable?
Cold hand wash is best. If that is not realistic, it machine washes on a gentle cold cycle inside the wash bag that comes with every vest.
