US COAST GUARD-APPROVED TYPE V PFD: This manual inflation flotation device is approved by the USCG as a Type 5, but performs as a Type 3. A CO2 cylinder is conveniently shipped in a storage pocket within the belt pack. Once the provided CO2 cylinder is installed, the manual inflation mechanism is ready to use. With a quick pull of the “Jerk to Inflate” cord, the vest will inflate rapidly.
COMFORTABLE AND CONVENIENT: The design is minimalistic and unobtrusive until activated. This life jacket keeps you comfortable and safe in hot summer weather. D-Rings are provided for attaching accessories and keeping them nearby.
RELIABLE BUOYANCY: Pulling the jerk cord inflates the pillow-style bladder, providing 16.5 pounds of buoyancy (equivalent to a Type III foam PFD). It is also possible to orally inflate the bladder for an additional 29 pounds of buoyancy.
FULLY ADJUSTABLE: Designed to fit a wide range of sizes and shapes. The universal size fits chests measuring 30-52 inches, catering to individuals of all genders in small, medium, large, XL, and XXL sizes. It is approved for persons 16 years and older, or those weighing over 80 pounds.
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED: Created with stand up paddle boarders, kayakers, and canoers in mind. This belt pack is available in various colors and incorporates multiple safety features. The comfort and security it provides extends to anglers and general boaters as well.
