Why is clipping on important?

Why is clipping on important?

Great little 30 second reminder here from the Royal Yachting Association about why clipping on is important.

Clipping on with a regular lifejacket makes NO sense to us - if you fall overboard your lifejacket and tether combination will tow you face down in the water next to the boat, where the risk of drowning is incredibly high.

Tethers used in combination with BackTow lifejackets however make complete sense. If you fall overboard and deploy the BackTow system the lifejacket will rotate you on to your back and you will be in a seated position, face up next to the boat. The BackTow strop can then be used as a recovery system to safely get your MOB back onboard.

Stay clipped on, stay with the boat, stay the right way up.

    170N offshore lifejacket

    Hoping I never need to use it in anger but so far satisfied with the product.
    Fits perfectly, feels lighter than previous version and just love the colour.. !
    Initially I didn’t know who to direct my emails to .. but once I found a contact communication ran smoothly.

    Few Upgrades and would be Perfect

    Now that I worn it for a little while now it’s a really good product! I’m quite happy with it. The only reason I can’t give it five stars is because the leg straps just aren’t beefy enough. I’d like something more substantial to hold on to me if I fall overboard.. These little teeny tiny thin straps will dig into your legs real quick… This is literally the only thing that’s not built to an industrial standard, everything about this lifevest is made for offshore cruising!

    Great craftsmanship

    I just opened my new N170 and am incredibly impressed. The craftsmanship is truly superb.
    I spent my entire career of 46yrs. either as a sailmaker or running my own canvas shop for 34 years. It really is a piece of art, hats off to the people who make these. I of course will recommend it as the one to buy.
    I was hoping that I ordered it in time for the included tether. Close but no cigar.
    Thank you all for working so hard to put out a great product

    Great buying experience, well made product.

    The whole buying experience was professional and smooth.
    Product arrived promptly and very well packed.

    Jacket itself appears a very well made, quality product. Clearly in a different league to some of the others I have here.
    Neat, tight stow, with a well fitting cover. Supportive harness. Shaped yoke and straps make for a good, snug, yet comfortable fit.

    Very comfortable to wear, male 1.8m & 85kg.
    My vhf and PLB holsters fitted easily. Sizing adjusts easily to suit appropriate ppe.

    I'd v probably give 5 stars once I've had some longer days afloat with it, but quite early days yet...

    One of the best LJs I've used during. >40 year career in commercial marine industries.

    V pleased, would buy again.
