Uh, you might want to rethink the bathtub thing.

All ballistic materials are SERIOUSLY compromised under submersion. This can lead to permanent loss of up to half of the ballistic capability of the armor.

It can also lead to an entire ecosystem living inside the panel if it does not dry completely.

The exposure from the elements and your body is not likely to completely saturate it.

A good idea is to get a skirt hanger and hang the armor by the tails, with the body contact side facing out.

Procurement of the skirt hangar or even the skirt wearer/owner is your resposibility.

That will take care of all but the sweatiest vest funk.
The basic recommendation of (lightly) damp sponging to clean, can be supplemented by a number of odor elimination products available for ice hockey equipment.

I will be happy to help with any other questions.
