The chic gilet-style flotation vest Flipper from Swedish brand Baltic has a down vest with sewn channels. Unisex and reversible, this buoyancy aid provides a good fit, regardless of gender, and is approved according to the same standard as a standard 50N life jacket.
A fashionable flotation device does exist! Flippers are a longer model than traditional sailing vests and therefore provide a little extra warmth on cooler days. The stylish reversible design means that you get two flotation vests in one, with zippered pockets on both sides. Colour schemes available: navy / red; black / blue; gray / black; white / pink and in the size range 50-100 + kg (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL). 50N load-bearing capacity and classified as a buoyancy aid (sometimes referred to as a sailing vest). Wear it on non-boating days too; no one will know.
Front and back panels formed from pockets of buoyant foam
Two zippered front pockets
2 year warranty
Designed in Sweden
Made in Europe
CE-approved
Safety note: A 50N buoyancy aid keeps you afloat by a good margin but lacks a collar to support your head. It has the buoyancy force more evenly distributed between the front and back and does not guarantee to turn an unconscious person to a supine position. 50N is therefore recommended for swimmers who weigh at least 25kg.
A little more expensive than other throw lines, however the quality is excellent and I believe worth the few pounds extra. Make sure you open the bag and uncoil the rope before feeding the rope back into the bag before you take it with you the first time.
