150N to 275N Automatic Life Jackets
The different types of inflatable life jackets
Before choosing your inflatable life jacket, it is essential to check its buoyancy, because not all automatic life jackets are created equal. Depending on the distance you are from the coast or a "shelter" (a place where you can anchor or dock), you will need to wear a different life jacket.
Inflatable life jackets are designed to be light and discreet, in order to give you maximum mobility and safety for your nautical activity. Their compact design allows you to wear them easily over your foul weather gear or survival suit all day long. The vest can be equipped with a harness. A harness will provide a secure attachment point to your inflatable vest, allowing you to use a strap to attach a secure point.
The automatic life jacket is assigned a type by the Coast Guard or navigation, just like non-inflatable life jackets, but they also have a performance type and a designation indicating whether they must be worn to be counted in the ship's life jacket inventory. Their location on board must be known to all occupants of the boat.
