Hi-Lift Inflatable Technology
TeamO Marine, home of the patented BackTow lifejacket, is always looking for new ways to improve user safety within the sailing and waters sports arena. Following the success of the TeamO BackTow lifejacket and more recently the Micro lifejacket, TeamO would like to introduce you to Hi-Lift. This is a revolutionary re-think of bladder design and combines better performance with all the features of the BackTow.
"A true leap forwards in consumer safety"
All conventional bladders support the user in the water using a horse shoe shape. While this conventional shape does work, large portions of the inflated bladder are above the waterline. This has led to a trend in Lifejackets for bigger and bigger bladder volumes, looking for incremental gains in performance while sticking to conventional thinking.
"150N size, 275N performance"
Enter TeamO, by forgetting convention and totally re-thinking bladder shape TeamO have managed to make a 150N lifejacket that not only out performs the competition, it even out performs the international standards for an Ocean going 275N lifejacket.
"Hi-Lift out performs the ISO standard by 120%"
The key to this huge leap in performance is the re-distribution of buoyancy, taking what would be wasted volume above the waterline and placing it on the users back in an inflated pillow. This lifts the head and shoulders higher out of the water dramatically improving performance. To enhance stability the front of the jacket flairs out to the sides, this offsets the higher body position and provides a secure base for user stability.
Hi-Lift comes with dual crotch straps, SOLAS light and whistle as well as being equipped with the patented BackTow Technology.
