Which Category of Lifejacket or Buoyancy Aid ?

50N Buoyancy Aid
Designed to allow maximum freedom of movement and so ideal for watersports. Suitable for competent swimmers in sheltered waters or where help is close at hand.

100N Lifejacket.
Under CEN395 these can now be called 'lifejackets'. They are suitable for less competent swimmers in sheltered or coastal waters. They are designed to help turn an unconscious wearer to float 'face up', keeping nose and mouth clear of water, although waterproof clothing may hinder this performance.

150N Lifejacket.
S
uitable for swimmers or non-swimmers, in open water, coastal or inland use. This type will automatically turn the wearer 'face-up' in almost all circumstances, and usually only heavy waterproof clothing will hinder its performance.

The Skipper Challenger range of 150N inflatable Lifejackets are designed to be easy to don and comfortable and un restrictive to wear. The articulated collar design allows the collar to fall flat onto the wearer’s shoulders and this in turn means the front of the jacket sits flat against the chest. The result is that the jacket is resting on the wearer’s shoulders rather than hanging from his or her neck. This is much more comfortable and helps reduce fatigue. Four models are available with either manual gas or automatic gas inflation, as well as a cruising harness option. All models have an easy access oral top up inflation tube, whistle and retro reflective tape. The interlocking lobe design means the high visibility neon bladder also acts as an effective wave barrier, preventing water being channeled into the wearer’s face, and provides vital head and neck support, even to an unconscious wearer. The Skipper Challenger’s user friendly design and comfort also make it an excellent lifejacket for work applications. Models with special heavy duty PVC and fireproof covers are available to order for heavy manual work situations, welding work etc. Child's Automatic provides 100N of buoyancy. Models with green covers are available for inland use - order by adding the letter 'G' to number.
