⚡ At a Glance
- • Buoyancy: Small footprint with large buoyancy, rated from 80 to 220 lbs
- • Best for: Learners and casual snorkellers who need added flotation and visibility
- • Not ideal for: Users who require certified life-saving equipment for offshore or prolonged rescue use
Polyester outer and PVC inner create an inflatable vest with a horse-collar neck. Neon colours enhance visibility while the shape is large enough for most adults.
Easier spotting in open water - thanks to neon colour panels
A bright polyester outer lets the vest stand out against water and sky, improving sighting from nearby shore or support boats. Neon colouring is especially effective for identifying learners during group swims.
Reduced anxiety for carers and quicker visual location of swimmers during outings.
Adjustable flotation for varied users - with an inflatable PVC inner layer
A PVC inner bladder traps air when inflated to create buoyancy rated between 80 and 220 lbs while keeping the external profile compact. The polyester outer provides structure and abrasion resistance.
Reliable support for a range of body sizes without the bulk of traditional lifejackets.
Quick to put on and take off - thanks to a horse-collar neck design
The horse-collar style slips over the neck and rests on the shoulders, removing the need for elaborate straps or fastenings. The simple shape speeds up donning and doffing at the water's edge.
Practical for busy family outings and helpful when supervising restless children.
