The AFS (Advanced Flotation System) puts the buoyancy of the inflated jacket where it functions best - giving enhanced rotation, freeboard and most importantly stability in the water. The low-profile gives users a much higher level of moveability both in and out of the water - essential in a rescue situation and for self-help.

Hammar® Hydrostatic Automatic Inflator
The Hammar® inflation system is activated by water pressure and will not inflate until the cap is approximately 10cm underwater.
This system is designed for use in more extreme conditions and extended offshore sailing. The benefit of the Hammar® system is that the jacket cannot accidentally inflate from being wet with rain and sea spray.
The unit has a single indicator to show if armed. Delayed inflation can be caused if full immersion of the firing head is delayed by buoyant foul weather clothing.
