Yes, the T‑shirt part can be separated from the inflating life jacket part. You can machine wash the T‑shirt part alone at 30°C / 85°F.

The manual T-shirt is activated by pulling on the yellow-tipped cord connected to the anti-drowning device.

The automatic version, on the other hand, is activated as soon as you are up to your neck in water. If you need to, you can also activate the automatic version manually by pulling on the red-tipped cord.
