Jacket tested as sailing clothing

Clothing can contain a large volume of air that restricts the self-righting performance. The pyramid-shaped structure takes account of this factor to facilitate the self-righting of an unconscious person onto their back, so that their respiratory tract remains free.

Why is this jacket so voluminous?

The standard requires the jacket to self-right an unconscious kid onto their back, when wearing a swimsuit. Kids are usually clothed when on boats. Since clothes contain air, self-righting can be more difficult. To meet this requirement, we have developed a jacket that self-rights an unconscious kid (10-15 kg) onto their back with their clothing. We achieved this by working on the position and shape of the foam, which explains its volume.

A life vest that’s safe for kids and reassuring for parents

The life vest has been designed to provide a positive and reassuring experience for both parents and kid: - there is a handle on the neck to control movements - the neck fabric is soft against the skin - tests were performed with a physiotherapist to make sure that the life jacket does not restrict freedom of movement

Putting on and adjusting the product

1. Make sure that the kid’s weight matches the recommended weight on the vest (10-15 kg) and the waist size (47-60 cm) 2. Put on the vest from the side, with the buckles at the front of the body 3. Close the shoulder buckle 4. Close the hip buckle and tighten the strap 5. Close the crutch loop by passing it between the legs, then tighten the strap 6. Tighten regularly during use

How to dress with a life jacket

We recommend that you do not wear the life jacket directly against your skin, and, ideally, to wear an anti-UV t-shirt to protect the kids’ skin, which is very sensitive to UV rays, or at least a t-shirt. It will be all the more comfortable!
