Unlike other jackets on the market, we have developed a unique release flap on the back that prevents the jacket from restricting your breathing when inflated. The Jacket as a whole has a nylon outer shell and a polyester inner lining that provides great warmth and water protection in all weather conditions.

All the features you need, like a rain hood that tucks away into the collar, removable sleeves for warm weather use, loads of pockets and even a stainless steel tether loop for securing yourself.

This personal floatation device is great for extreme weather conditions and perfect for fishermen and boaties. The jacket has an automatic inflation system built-in that uses the CO² cylinder to inflate the jacket when it is submerged in water. With a replaceable 33g CO² cylinder that provides 165 newtons of buoyancy, it also has the required backup manual inflation ripcord, just in case.

Note: The date printed on our CO² gas cylinder is the date of manufacture (Not the expiry). Providing the cylinder has no corrosion and weighs within +/- 2g of the printed weight, the cylinder is good for 5-10 years for recreational use.

What’s the weight limit?
Inflatable life jackets with 150N buoyancy don’t usually have a maximum weight limit. Why? Because the human body is already almost buoyant—most of it is made of water! The jacket only needs to support the weight of your bones and a little extra. Plus, human fat is actually lighter than water, making larger individuals even more buoyant. The only limit is the fit of the jacket.

SERVICING & SELF INSPECTION

As with all inflatable Life Jackets, it's a legal requirement to service them annually as per the manufactures instructions.
These All Weather Jackets can be self serviced for the first two years, but it is highly recommended to have them professionally serviced by an authorised service agent on the 3rd year.

Servicing requirements begin from the date of purchase. It's recommended to keep your invoice in a zip-lock bag and with your life jacket.
The first service is due 12 months after the purchase date.

Here is a copy of the service manual & self inspection checklist.

PROOF OF PURCHASE

To ready yourself for when fishing authorities check your safety equipment, it is important you have your proof of purchase with you when out boating. The best way to do this is to put a copy of your PFD receipt/invoice inside a sealable bag like a Glad ziplock bag, and then put this in your pfd pocket.
Why do I need to do this? Your legal servicing requirements start from the date of purchase not the manufacturer date.

UNDERSTANDING PFD STANDARDS

The New Australian Standard is AS4758 (as of July 2010)
The change that will be most noticeable is a new way of identifying PFDs for different uses.
The new standard introduces the identification of PFDs by 'levels'.

• Level 150 - similar to inflatable PFD Type 1 and suitable for offshore use
• Level 100 - similar to PFD Type 1 and the minimum requirement for offshore use
• Level 50 - similar to PFD Type 2
• Level 50 Special Purpose (50S) - to replace PFD Type 3

Although the Safety Standards for life jackets apply national wide, the situations in which they must be worn may vary in each state.

Make sure you check the regulations in your local area before hitting the water.
