Adult Life Jackets

Adult Lifejackets and Buoyancy Aids

How much buoyancy do you really need under way? It depends on where you sail. Adult lifejackets are chosen according to conditions: lightweight inflatable belts are enough for sheltered waters and easy cruising, while offshore and heavy seas call for higher-buoyancy models with an auto-righting system.

The reference figure is buoyancy in Newton: 150N covers most sailing use, while 275N is designed for those sailing in heavy clothing or extreme conditions. Automatic inflatable belts combine comfort and a compact profile, staying almost invisible until needed.

Before buying, check the weight range, the crotch strap that stops the jacket riding up, and useful features such as a position light, whistle, spray hood and retro-reflective tape. Remember to service the firing mechanisms of inflatable models regularly.
