Plastimo Pilot Automatic Lifejackets Information
This slim line life jacket has been designed to be as compact as possible so that it is practical to wear all the time whilst cruising. This style of life jacket is extremely comfortable and non-intrusive to cruising activity as it is fairly lightweight, ergonomically designed to sit suitably around the body and made from robust materials.
The automatic system works by way of a dissolvable crystal element that triggers the firing mechanism when dissolved by water submersion. With this automatic life jacket a manual pull cord is also easy to hand in-case a problem occurs and the auto-inflation mechanism has not triggered.
Complete with a buckle catch for fastening the lifejacket on, a fully adjustable waist belt with back support to make it as comfortable as possible and a crutch strap...
...plus, there are the 'hidden' benefits too - which we all hope we will never have to see in a real situation.
This life jacket produces 150 Newtons of buoyancy when inflated with self-righting capacity - meaning that the jacket will turn you on to your back within 5 seconds so that your face is out of the water, whilst supporting the head all round: on both sides of the head and at the back.
Importantly, this life jacket has an independent air chamber which is useful in-case the jackets outer cover is damaged the chamber is protected by a very resistant, highly visible, yellow outer cover to help prevent damage. Inflated with 33g Carbon Dioxide gas cylinder, and in the event of a failed inflation an oral inflation tube with a non-return valve is easily to hand - this can also be used to top up the air chambers if necessary.
Other safety features include, a whistle and grab handle and 300cm2 retro-reflecting tape area for heightened visibility.
