Kent A/M-33 Orange Auto/Manual Inflatable Life Vest, USCG Type V PFD, 30-65 Inch Chest

The Kent A/M-33 Orange Auto/Manual Inflatable Life Vest is a USCG-approved Type V Personal Flotation Device built for boaters who want dependable, low-bulk protection on the water. It converts between two inflation modes: in auto/manual mode the vest inflates automatically on immersion in water, while a manual-only mode reserves inflation for when the wearer pulls the jerk-to-inflate handle. Switching between modes is straightforward, and the vest is designed to be quickly and easily rearmed after use.

The vest uses a secure pull system that clips to the life jacket body and releases cleanly when the handle is pulled for inflation. A V-back design and a 1.5 inch buckle and body belt keep the fit stable and comfortable, while the YKK Quickburst zipper allows for fast, secure closure. The outer cover is nylon ripstop for durability in marine conditions.

This vest is sized for persons 16 years of age and older weighing over 80 pounds, fitting a 30 inch to 65 inch chest, and provides a minimum buoyancy of 35 pounds when fully inflated. It is not recommended for non-swimmers or weak swimmers. The vest ships with a CO2 inflation cylinder installed and, due to that cylinder, may not be available to ship to Alaska or Hawaii.
