1339, 1341 specifications

Stearns Recreational 1341 and 1339 are part of a distinguished line of life jackets that prioritize both safety and comfort for water enthusiasts. Designed with recreational boating, fishing, and water sports in mind, these life jackets offer a blend of durability and functionality, making them ideal for various aquatic activities.

One of the standout features of both models is their lightweight construction. Made from high-quality materials, the jackets are designed to float effortlessly, providing peace of mind for users. The buoyancy is optimized to ensure that individuals are kept safe and above water while also allowing for maximum freedom of movement. This balance is crucial, especially during activities that require agility, such as kayaking or paddleboarding.

Both the 1341 and 1339 models incorporate adjustable straps that ensure a snug fit. This customization is vital for comfort, as it allows users to secure the jacket properly, reducing the risk of it slipping off during use. The quick-release buckles provide additional convenience, making it easy to don and doff the jackets.

In terms of design, these life jackets boast bright colors and reflective strips that enhance visibility, a critical aspect for increased safety in open water. The bright colors allow users to be easily spotted by others, while the reflective features ensure visibility during low-light conditions, such as early morning or evening excursions.

The ventilation system incorporated in both models helps to keep users cool and comfortable during long periods of wear. The mesh lining and strategic cutouts promote airflow, reducing the discomfort typically associated with wearing a life jacket for extended durations.

Additionally, the Stearns Recreational jackets come with storage options, including pockets for small essentials like fishing tackle or personal items. This feature is particularly beneficial for anglers and boaters who require easy access to tools and belongings while on the water.

In summary, the Stearns Recreational 1341 and 1339 life jackets are excellent choices for anyone who enjoys water-based activities.
