We recommend customers have their TeamO lifejacket professionally serviced every 12 months. A service will ensure safety checks are carried out on key elements of the lifejacket to ensure it will perform properly if required.

A service can be carried out by TeamO Marine at our ISO approved facility in Southampton or by any certified Service Centre. Please contact us if you are outside of the UK and we can advise the nearest Service Centre to your location.

For Service Checks undertaken at TeamO Marine we require the customer to send their lifejacket to us by courier or tracked delivery. Please ensure the lifejacket is sent dry and clean with your name, order number, return address and email stated inside the box.

A full service will then be carried out at TeamO Marine by our trained professionals. Checks carried out include:

- 24 hour inflation test and pressure check

- Firing Head and Capsule Checks

- CO2 Cylinder Inspection

- Light Check

- Wear and Tear Assessment

If any part of your lifejacket does not pass Service Checks we will contact you to advise replacement part prices. If all checks are passed a certificate is issued to you together with your lifejacket which is valid for 12 months from date of Service. Your lifejacket shall be returned to you by tracked courier service, which is included in the Service price. You should update your Service Record on the back of the User Manual and keep a copy of the Service Certificate somewhere safe.

Very Comfortable

I looked at a lot of different life vest and found these to be the most comfortable life jackets and with the option of being towed correctly was on obvious choice. Been very happy with the life jackets.

Offshore 170N

Fits very well, I was able to make all the adjustments necessary to fit me. The instructions are good so read them. I have not deployed the jacket yet. I also have worked out how to attach the MOB1. The tether works as expected and attaches to the jack lines with the clips. All in all, I am very pleased and recommend buying this life jacket.

Good choice

Would prefere any EU shop, customs and Vat procedure is boring :)

Excellent lifejacket

I purchased this life jacket in January and, although I have (fortunately) not had the opportunity to use it in a real emergency, I have used it several times. The materials and workmanship are excellent and the jacket is very comfortable to wear, despite being an offshore jacket, which is bulkier than many other “coastal” items (the jacket has a light, a built-in hood and can easily accommodate a PLB). For a more in-depth analysis, look for the Yachting Monthly review published in 2022.
There are only two “issues”: the backtow system does not appear to be all that easy to be repacked if the jacket has been activated and the system deployed. The manual is not very clear on this and the videos on the TemO website refer to older and different versions. I hope TeamO will address this by publishing an updated video for the current system. Otherwise, it would probably be a wise idea to open the jacket and record a video showing how the system is packed for future reference.
The second issue is due to Brexit: if, like me, you plan to buy this life jacket from abroad, be prepared to pay very high customs duties. It's not TeamO's fault, clearly (they seem to try to keep prices low), but if you end up paying 30% more than the listed price, other products might become more interesting. Of course, you'll have to give up the backtow system as TeamO is the only manufacturere to offer a similar solution.

I had a chance to use my new vest this October on 14 days offshore sail. It fits very well no problem to wear it many hours and the materials seems good and durable. Considering my heigh almost 2m i would appreciate even longer straps between legs (always easy to shorten than other way). I haven't fall over yet but once it happens, I will write the second part of review.
