Several possibilities:
While sailing: Ready for use, or even better, always on the man/woman. A lot of accidents happen when peeing.
After sailing: dry, in the dark and not too warm or too cold.
Do the kayaks capsize easily?
It is relatively difficult to capsize the kayaks. You would have to lean out of the boat considerably to manage that.
What purpose does the back mesh part serve?
- To enable you to don the life jacket more easily.
- To give better distribution of forces on the shoulders and when the harness is under tension.
- It adds to your comfort in wearing the life jacket.
What is the difference between the life jackets which are available from EUR 50,-?
There is no difference. They are all the same. Certified in accordance with EN, manufactured by SECUMAR. They are for occasional use, ought to be serviced annually and have a life expectancy of 5 years.
Can the kayaks also be inflated by using a pressure pump?
They can, but this should be done very carefully. Many boats have bursted in the past while doing so.
Will the dog’s vest also save my cat?
If your cat is prepared to wear one, then a vest like that may be quite helpful. Our dogs' vests were designed so that dogs, but cats too, could be grabbed hold of IN the water. To pick them up by their fur would be fairly impossible.
Can I have my life jacket fitted with a spray hood / a lifejacket light later?
Each life jacket in the SECUMAR SURVIVAL series can be fitted with a spray hood and an emergency life jacket light at some later stage. You can do this yourself with the Duo Protect life jackets. We will gladly do it for you in the case of the older Survival models.
Do the kayaks have to be serviced?
We don't have a regular service for them. In order to enjoy your boat for a long time, you should clean it now and then with fresh water and you should check the valves.
