♦ How to Choose Your Life Jacket:

* According to activity or use

The primary function of a lifejacket is to keep the victim’s airways out of the water and to allow an efficient spotting in order to facilitate the rescueing manoeuvres.

* Lifejacket or buoyancy aid?

A lifejacket keeps the wearer safely on his back and provides enough buoyancy for use in different open and rough sea conditions. It provides self-righting capacity.

A buoyancy aid provides sufficient buoyancy for use in sheltered waters and does not offer self-righting capacity. In addition, the type of sports or activity defines the level of performance expected from a PFD (personal floatation device): in some cases, comfort and softness are critical, while other activities require durability and buoyancy first.

* Where You Need a Life Jacket?

* Choose Between 2 Technologies:

A. Lifejacket with permanent floatation (foam technology). Designed to be used either in the water/water surface or in case of accidental fall into the water. Also provides a good protection against knocks and contributes to thermal protection.

B. Inflatable lifejacket (air bladder technology). Designed specifically to be used in case of accidental fall into the water. Extremely compact when non inflated, the inflatable lifejacket provides optimum freedom of movement. In the event of a man over board, the inflatable. lifejacket (automatic or manual) provides ample floatation capacity.

* For The Inflatable Life Jacket, Inflation can be triggered in 3 ways:

• Oral inflation: possible on all lifejacket models. The oral inflation tube allows you to top up or reduce the air volume.
• Manual inflation: firing the CO2 gas cylinder is done by pulling an activating handle. Specially recommended for sailors who may be occasionally immersed when manoeuvring (for example when sitting out on rather acrobatic manoeuvres).
• Automatic inflation: the lifejacket inflates automatically on immersion in the water. Recommended for cruising, an absolute must for non-swimmers and for single-handed sailors, as the lifejacket inflates even if the wearer is unconscious (All automatic lifejackets are ALSO MANUAL.)

* The Inflatable Life Jacket Automatic Inflation Principles :

• Automatic inflation with water-dissolving capsule or cartridge:a chemical product dissolves when in contact with water, which activates the inflation head and releases the gas.
• Automatic inflation with Hammar hydrostatic mechanism: when the lifejacket is fully immersed in the water, the hydrostatic pressure acts on a diaphragm. As the pressure increases (i.e. as the wearer goes deeper in the water), the diaphragm lets the water through and the inflation head is automatically activated. This system offers a better guarantee that the lifejacket may not inflate unintentionally when exposed to a water spray or when stowed in a damp locker. When wearing foul weather clothing, a lifejacket has to overcome the fact that air is often trapped in the clothing causing the user to both surface quickly and float on his back. This may cause slow or non-activation of the inflator, as this will place the valve uppermost, preventing it from being sufficiently submerged. An unchanged parallell position of the body to the water surface with the hydrostatic valve uppermost has the same effect. In such cases, the manual backup (pull tab) should be used to inflate the lifejacket. Changing position in the water, or jumping or falling into the water in all other ways, will immediately activate the hydrostatic valve and the lifejacket will inflate.

♦ Understanding Lifejackets & Buoyancy Aids European Standard:

Lifejackets and buoyancy aids used in recreational or professional activities must comply with the specifications of the European Directive 89/686/CE on Personal Protective Equipment.
The CE mark of approval must be printed on the garment’s label and testifies that the lifejacket complies with the European Directive. Lifejackets are ranked in 4 categories according to their use, performance and buoyancy level.

♦ Understanding PFD Standards (Australia Std. For Reference Only.):

The New Australian Standard is AS4758 (as of July 2010). The change that will be most noticeable is a new way of identifying PFDs for different uses. The new standard introduces the identification of PFDs by 'levels'.

* Level 150 - similar to inflatable PFD Type 1 and suitable for offshore use

* Level 100 - similar to PFD Type 1 and the minimum requirement for offshore use

* Level 50 - similar to PFD Type 2

* Level 50 Special Purpose (50S) - to replace PFD Type 3

♦ Hysun OEM Inflatable PDF Life Jackets Advantages:

Unlike traditional Life Jackets, Hysun Inflatable PFD Life Jackets are designed to be comfortable when wearing them for extended periods of time.

* Cheaper in Bulk

* Perfect for any boater or fisher

* Comfortable

* Lightweight

* Hard wearing

* Hi visablilty once inflated

* AS4758.1 Safety Standard (latest Australian standard)

These Inflatable PFD Life Jackets are one of the most comfortable types on the Australian market. This life jacket is approved by the Australian and New Zealand standards, AS4758.1 (newest standard). This is a quality Inflatable PFD Life Jacket made from quality materials. Don't risk your safety or your families safety with anything less than the best in comfort and safety.

Note1.: The date printed on our CO² gas cylinder is the date of manufacture (Not the expiry). Providing the cylinder has no corrosion and weighs within +/- 2g of the printed weight, the cylinder is good for 5-10 years for recreational use.

Note2.: The Automatic Inflatation Cartridge will have between 2-3 years of usable life before a replacement cartridge is needed. The Life Jacket can still be used Manually without this cartridge.
