Automatic Life Jackets

Automatic Life Jackets

Automatic lifejackets are perfect for sailing where the risk of entering the water unconscious or any other dangers may be present. The automatic lifejacket is by far the most popular type of flotation device.

Hammar System Life Jackets

Two systems are available; either inflation from water contact or water pressure. Hammar systems work on water pressure and standard automatics inflate when water dissolves the capsule, thus piercing the air canister.

Standard Automatic Life Vests

Automatics also feature a lanyard so that the jacket can be activated manually if necessary. This type of life jacket is available with and without a D-ring that allows the wearer to be attached to a harness.
