Crewsaver are one of the only brands to offer a children’s lifejacket in the offshore category which results in quicker spin times, greater mouth freeboard and increased collar stability.
150N Gas Lifejacket
The Crewfit 150N Junior is a great option for older children and is designed to inflate automatically when in contact with water. The unique 150N bladder design includes a peninsular chin support and it offers the most advanced performance solutions available to date. In addition, the lifejacket comes with a helpful indicator window which externally displays the status of the inflator firing mechanism.
