Self-inflating jackets are personal protective equipment that ensure the safety of the entire crew.

By wearing a self-inflating life jacket we ensure buoyancy in the event of a fall overboard, and the maintenance of an unobstructed airway, avoiding the danger of drowning, even in the event of injury or loss of consciousness.
