Lifejackets & Flotation
A lifejacket you forget you're wearing — until the moment you don't.
What are you doing?
Who's it for?
Refine
Inflation
Guide
How a lifejacket inflates
- Automatic — inflates the moment it touches water; the right choice if you might be unconscious or unable to react.
- Manual — you pull a toggle to inflate. Simpler and cheaper, but only works if you're conscious.
- Foam — always buoyant, no mechanism. Ideal for children, watersports and casual use.
Harness
Guide
Why a harness matters
- With harness — built-in attachment points let you clip a safety tether to the boat, so a fall overboard doesn't separate you from the vessel. Essential for offshore, single-handed or night sailing.
- Without harness — lower profile and more comfortable, with no clip-on points. Better for inshore, recreational and warm-water activities.
Buoyancy
Buoyancy is measured in newtons — higher numbers mean more lift.
Guide
Which buoyancy do I need?
Buoyancy is measured in newtons — higher numbers mean more lift.
- 50N — buoyancy aid for calm, sheltered water with help close at hand.
- 100N — general lifejacket for sheltered conditions and inland use.
- 150N — the recreational coastal and offshore standard.
- 170N — performance offshore, for heavier crews and rough seas.
- 275N — heavy-duty commercial and extreme-condition use.

The complete solution for industry
Our lifejackets are integral to our HSE principles, when looking for a supplier we needed to ensure safety without compromise. Our team rely on their comfort and ease of use, even during long shifts. We wear them during personnel transfer at sea through to quays side operations and having the functional kit is very important. Designed for functionality, they don't interfere with manual tasks, giving our team confidence and protection when working near a marine environment. We outfit them with the optional extras including AIS Receivers, Spray Hoods, and the Lume-On so the team are prepared should the worst ever happen and someone ends up in the water.
