What is an Automatic Life Jacket?
An automatic lifejacket is a self-inflating personal flotation device (PFD) that activates when submerged in water. Designed for safety and convenience, they ensure buoyancy without requiring manual inflation. Ideal in case of an emergency or if you're incapacitated.
Many models come with an integrated safety harness, allowing you to secure yourself with a lifeline while onboard. You’ll also find compact, lightweight designs for all-day comfort and high-buoyancy options for offshore sailing and challenging conditions.
Life jackets are one of the most important pieces of safety equipment to have on board.
