Mullion HI-TIDE 275 REGULAR - ULTRAFIT

The HI-TIDE 275 REGULAR - ULTRAFIT life jacket is designed to be ideal for general use with bad weather clothing and heavy equipment. The life jacket is an automatic life jacket, which inflates automatically on contact with water. The cut of this life jacket is horseshoe-shaped, with offset shoulder straps, which relieves the neck and shoulders of weight and pressure. The protective cover has a Velcro fastener. This life jacket also has double shoulder straps.

General information about life jackets:

An inflatable life jacket is a personal flotation device (PFD) that generates buoyancy through a release mechanism with gas pressure cartridges.

A life jacket is constructed as follows:

Protective cover:

The protective cover provides optimum protection for the inflatable air chamber and extends the service life of the life jacket.

Inflatable flotation device:

Single-chamber life jacket -  Buoyancy is achieved by a single flotation device (minimum requirement according to EN/ISO).

Double-chamber life jacket - Buoyancy is achieved by two flotation devices (minimum requirement according to IMO/SOLAS). The double-chamber system is designed so that if one chamber is damaged or fails, the other ensures buoyancy as long as the user is in the water.

Activation mechanism:

The activation mechanism is required to activate and pierce the cartridge so that gas can flow into the air chamber and inflate it.

Automatic activation:

The vest inflates automatically upon contact with water. The air chamber is inflated immediately. If this does not happen, which is very unlikely, the life jacket can be activated manually using the pull line.

Manual activation:

Manual activation can be performed by the user by pulling the pull cord.

CO2 cartridge

When the release mechanism is activated, it pierces the cartridge and releases the CO2 into the air chamber so that the float can be inflated to the desired buoyancy class.
