Stay Alive Life Vests make a great addition to your fishing or scuba gear collection"

Four of StayAlives unique features are:
The distress flag, inflatable signaling device, lanyard system, and crotch straps.

StayAlive...... Its more than a life jacket

The distress flag can be deployed with an easy tug on the rear shoulder pocket handle. This allows the flag to open from the pocket and float on the surface of the water. Any rescue aircraft will now have a very large bright target to locate you. The flag is held in place with a snap which allows the flag to be detached from StayAlive. This option allows for use when in your boat. Example: your battery is dead so you put the flag on a fishing pole or gaffe. Passing boaters see the flag and come over to assist. The flag could also be used to keep the sun off your head while in the water awaiting rescue. The same principle is applied when in cooler climates which aids in keeping heat from exiting the head. Hypothermia is a constant threat if exposed to the water for an extended period of time, anything you do could save your life.

The inflatable signaling device is a simple but effective tool. This is inflated manually with approximately four breaths of exhaled air. Once inflated you clip the device on the shoulder D-ring so as not to lose it. When a boat is seen or heard you detach the device and hold it above the head. This allows people to be seen over rough choppy swells. There is reflective tape molded on the end which allows for the same use at night when a search light is in use. It also is one more visual aid in assisting aircraft.

Boating safety check: No problem, pull out your StayAlive and hand it to the Officer. Your safety gear is in one convenient neat place, no more looking all over your boat!

The lanyard system is a very important tool, when in the water people drift at a different rate. The lanyard is clipped to one of two D-rings on either side of the lower front of StayAlive. Then you would clip the other end to the waist band of any other PFD you already have. Clipping waist band to waist band until your group is together and secure. Keeping everyone together is important and it also makes for a larger visual aid. StayAlive comes with one lanyard. Boat owners know how many people usually go out in their boat, this allows for each individual to decide how many extra lanyards are needed for their boat.

There are two crotch straps located in pockets on the inside front lower panels, one on each side. These are used to keep StayAlive from riding up on the wearer while in the water for prolonged periods of time. It also is an extra way to secure StayAlive on the wearer if in unforgiving seas, whether on the deck or in the water.
