Manual Life Jackets
Manual Life Jackets
Manual Lifejackets are activated by pulling the lanyard attached to the gas capsule, which in turn automatically inflates the lifejacket chamber. This variety allows the wearer to swim without the lifejacket being inflated automatically. Manual life jackets are particularly useful if you expect to wade when launching or tending to craft in shallow waters.
Manually Inflating Life Vests
Powerboat users will also prefer this type of safety gear as they will not be struck by a boom or get soaked on the foredeck. Manual life jackets are available with or without a D-ring that enables the wearer to be attached to a harness.
