ROARING FORTIES™ (Closed Cells Foam) PFD (Lifejacket) Type 1s

ROARING FORTIES™ ( RF ) PFDs are light in air & in water. Hence it is very comfortable to wear them for longer periods. It will also provide a high & safe free float in water ( ie the vertical distance between the mouth & the surface of the water). Our PFDS will right a person in a safe inclined angle.

By using a specialised uncoated warp knit polyester fabric, ROARING FORTIES™ PFDs (Type 1, 2 & 3) has very good permeability of water in and out of the fabric & thus providing stability in performance & consistency in buoyancy

Our fabric has a colour fastness to light reading of 4-5 on a Blue Wool Standard & colour fastness to seawater reading of 4-5 on a grey scale. With these inherent features, Roaring Forties™ PFDs perform much better than others when exposed to the above conditions. Apart from fungus resistant, Roaring Forties fabric is more resistant to chlorine attack than the average fabric.

ROARING FORTIES™ PFDs use loose sheets of closed cell foam.  This ensures Roaring Forties™ PFDs are soft, light, durable, dependable and very comfortable to wear over long periods. Also the soft touch is design to prevent serious injury when alighting a craft.

ROARING FORTIES™ being outcome focus, also caters for larger sizes people & people with disabilities.

PFD Type 1 has a collar and has also a higher buoyancy rating than a PFD 2 or 3. It is generally used for yachting & other general boating activities

NB PFDs (closed cell foam)Type 1 are not suitable for all water situations. A child wearing a PFD must come under competent supervision.
