The “Merchant Mate II” life jacket from Stearns will keep you comfortably safe in the water.
Constructed from soft, Aquafoam flotation foam, this life jacket will keep you and your crew afloat in rough waters. The foam-filled collar provides additional head support and the Type I design turns unconscious wearers face up in the water. The hinged-back design and two chest adjusters improve the flotation angle keeping your even higher in the water. SOLAS grade reflective tape is strategically placed on the chest and back for increased visibility in murky conditions. Additional features include body encircling straps for a snug fit and an attachment point for a light or other accessory.
