Description
The Plastimo Pilot 165 is a highly regarded inflatable lifejacket suitable for a variety of nautical activities, including coastal and offshore navigation, cruising, and racing. It is well-known for its comfort, ergonomic design, and overall reliability. The lifejacket provides 165N (Newtons) of buoyancy, exceeding the 150N category standard (ISO 12402-3). This level of buoyancy is generally considered sufficient to turn an unconscious person face-up in the water within five seconds, even when wearing foul-weather gear.
Designed to hug the body comfortably during active use, it sits well on the shoulders and allows for free arm movement. The lifejacket is made from durable materials such as polyester, polypropylene, polyamide, and polyacetal, which offer good resistance to UV rays, seawater, hydrocarbons, and general wear and tear.
With the harness option, the tether's attachment point features a textile loop that incorporates retro-reflective thread for enhanced visibility at night. This lightweight textile loop provides better ergonomics and replaces the traditional stainless steel loop.
