Onyx M-24 Essential Manual Inflatable PFD – Red

Description

Pull the handle on this Onyx M-24 Essential Inflatable Life Jacket and it inflates on the spot, with backup oral inflation available if needed. This lightweight, low-profile vest, in red/gray, stays comfortable enough that you forget it’s on until the moment you actually need it.

A soft, wide neoprene neckline keeps things comfortable all day, and the fabric shrugs off tears and punctures better than a lighter-weight alternative would. The inflation handle clips to the jacket to prevent snag hazards, a front buckle closure handles the fit, and a D-ring gives you an attachment point for small gear.

It’s U.S. Coast Guard approved and recommended for wearers 16 and up who weigh more than 80 lbs. Like any inflatable, it’s reusable after a deployment as long as you replace the spent components with a fresh Re-Arm Kit; the owner’s manual walks through arming it initially with the CO2 cartridge and resetting it after use. This one uses Onyx Rearming Kit 1351.

Worth comparing against our other inflatable life jackets.
