Avon moves into lifejackets

Avon Inflatables has launched a range of lifejackets. Four different models are designed conform to all current EN safety standards and come with a blue protective cover with Velcro-type fasteners and a built in safety harness with a quick fastening stainless steel D ring (except on the Classic model).

The buckle of the jacket is tucked away inside the cover.

Under the protective cover the neon yellow of the buoyancy bladder and the reflecting strips on the jacket help the wearer be more visible in the water.

The lifejacket uses the Halkey-Roberts system to trigger the CO2 inflation and also has a manual release cord.

The asymmetric buoyancy bladder helps turn the wearer to the right attitude.

Standard features include a dorsal panel, which guarantees a close and comfortable fit, a lifting handle and an inflation tube with check valve. All lifejackets come with a manual and are suitable for persons over 1.5m.

Optional extras include a distress light, a lifeline and a protection hood. The lifejackets need servicing every two years at an Avon authorised service station.
