Self-inflating jackets are personal protective equipment that ensure the safety of the entire crew. Just as we wear helmets when we ride motorcycles, when we are sailing life jackets and can mean the difference between life and death. By wearing a self-inflating life jacket we ensure buoyancy in the event of a fall overboard, and the maintenance of an unobstructed airway, avoiding the danger of drowning, even in the event of injury or loss of consciousness.
