position and delivers up to 9” of freeboard, the highest ever seen in a PFD, keeping your mouth high above the water line to minimize the risk of mouth immersions. Not only is LIFTTM one of the world’s best performing PFD’s in wave conditions, but it’s comfortable too. Light and ergonomically designed – you can’t even tell you’re wearing it until you need it.

While traditional PFDs are inherently buoyant, inflatable PFDs like the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM rely entirely upon inflation for buoyancy. Uninflated, the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM is comfortable and can be inflated at any time with a 38-gram CO2 gas cylinder. The Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM is designed to meet the demands of a full protection PFD offering maximum mobility with minimum bulk. The Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM can be inflated either automatically during immersion, manually by jerking a pull-tab, or by mouth. It is imperative that you familiarize yourself with the procedures outlined in INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (p. 4).
