Onyx M-33 Inflatable Life Jacket

The life jacket features a pull-cord located on the front of the vest. When you pull this cord, it triggers a CO2 cylinder to inflate the bladder instantly, providing the necessary buoyancy.

While this is a USCG-approved Type III device, it is designed for recreational boating where the wearer is conscious and able to pull the cord. It is not recommended for non-swimmers or those who may be unconscious upon entering the water, as it requires manual activation.

Yes, its low-profile design is ideal for active water sports like kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing. It stays out of the way of your arms and torso, offering much more mobility than a traditional foam life jacket.

Yes, once the CO2 cylinder has been deployed, you will need to replace the cylinder and the inflator mechanism before the life jacket can be used again. It is also important to inspect the bladder for leaks and ensure the device is properly repacked according to the manufacturer's instructions.

This life jacket is USCG-approved for users who are 16 years of age or older and weigh at least 80 pounds. It is not designed for children or smaller individuals.
