Red Inflatable Vest PFD w/LIFT Auto Hydrostatic Activation

Inflatable vest pfd with lift auto hydrostatic activation. Life-saving inflatable flotation technology (lift). The md0450 auto hydrostatic inflatable vest with lift is a lightweight inflatable pfd designed with a shorter length and a low, flexible profile to ensure total mobility during the most rigorous activities. Engineered with revolutionary lift technology for increased freeboard and hydrostatic inflator technology (hit) for reliable inflation in a low maintenance design, the md0450 was designed primarily for performance sailors, security and rescue professionals and people in offshore environments. Lift technology improves safety for users in variable wind and wave conditions by elevating the mouth out of the water by up to 9 inches (23 centimeters). This increase in freeboard has been shown to reduce underwater mouth immersions by 80%, reducing the risks of drowning and exposure. Hydrostatic inflator technology will only automatically inflate when submerged in 4 or more inches of water and not inadvertently due to rain, spray or humidity. Made for the most severe marine environments the auto hydrostatic inflatable vest with lift will meet the challenges of the most demanding users. Features: 40 pound buoyancy when inflated. Lift provides up to 9'' inch of freeboard - the highest elevation out of water ever seen in a pfd - for extra safety in severe weather. This reduces mouth immersions and increases visibility to rescue crews.
