Surprising as it may seem, it doesn’t take long for a person to drown: 60 seconds for an adult and 20 seconds for a child. That is why personal flotation devices should be worn when out on the water as they save lives. The need to wear one, though, doesn’t mean that they have to be uncomfortable. This is where the Onyx 24 Automatic /Manual inflatable life vest comes in. The PFD features a small CO2 tank that automatically inflates when the vest is submerged in water or when the inflation handle is pulled.
While most life vests are bulky and restricting, the Onyx life vest has a low-profile and lightweight design that doesn’t limit movement. It also helps keep you cool during hot days on the water. It’s perfect those who care about safely, but don’t want the constant reminder that they are wearing a life vest.
The U.S. Coast Guard-approved life vest has a universal fit that is perfect for adults over 80 pounds and 16 years of age. It also has reflective piping for increased visibility. (www.onyxoutdoor.com)
