Common Concerns Answered
The inflation mechanism can be stiff for some users. How do I ensure it deploys properly?
Ensure the pull cord is clearly visible and accessible. A firm, consistent pull is typically required to activate the inflation mechanism. Familiarize yourself with the pull action on land before your first use to build confidence.
The storage pocket is quite small. What can I fit in it?
The zippered storage pocket is designed for compact essentials such as keys, a small multi-tool, or energy gels. It is not intended for larger items. Consider a separate dry bag for larger gear.
This PFD requires manual re-arming after inflation. What is involved?
After inflation, the spent CO2 cylinder must be replaced, and the inflator mechanism should be reset. This is a standard procedure for most manual inflatable PFDs and ensures the device is ready for subsequent use.
