Crewsaver has unveiled the new Euro 100N life jacket designed especially for children. The Supersafe 150N foam life jacket has also been relaunched.
Crewsaver has launched a new kids lifejacket range.
The new Euro 100N life jacket is described as a “perfect all-rounder” for youngsters.
It is ideal for inshore use including sailing, powerboating, kayaking and swimming.
The 100N of buoyancy reduces fatigue during general in-water activities whilst the inherently buoyant super soft foam provides a comfortable fit.
It is available in four sizes.
All come with dual crotch straps and waist adjusters to provide a suitable fit with easy donning.
The vibrant yellow colour combined with reflective tape provides good onboard and in-water visibility.
The children’s life jacket range also includes the revamped Supersafe 150N foam life jacket.
The Supersafe 150N life jacket
The Supersafe 150N is ideal for those venturing further offshore including ocean sailing.
It is one of the only foam lifejackets for children in the 150N ‘Offshore’ rated category.
The increase in buoyancy results in quicker spin times, increased collar stability and greater mouth freeboard (distance from water to mouth).
Complete with a built-in safety harness, the Supersafe 150N accommodates the use of a safety line which is recommended when sailing in rough conditions or during night sailing.
Entry level to the range is the Spiral 100N which is available in yellow and orange.
The inherently buoyant foam life jacket makes it good for inshore use including surface watersports and swimming.
For the older child, there is the Crewfit 150N Junior life jacket.
This automatic gas life jacket is a great option for older children and is designed to inflate automatically when in contact with water.
The unique 150N bladder design includes a peninsular chin support and it offers the most advanced performance solutions available to date.
In addition, the life jacket comes with a helpful indicator window which externally displays the status of the inflator firing mechanism.
All the children’s foam life jackets come with a fun storybook Oliver’s Adventure, which encourages children to wear their life jacket.
This book was designed as an interactive tool to help parents teach their children the importance of life jackets.
The complete range of children’s life jackets will be showcased at the Southampton Boat Show from 16-25 September.
