Kent All Clear A-33 Automatic Inflatable Work Life Jacket, USCG Type V, Orange, Fits 30-65 Inch Chest

The Kent All Clear A-33 Automatic Inflatable Work Life Jacket is a USCG-approved Type V personal flotation device built for work environments where hands-free reliability matters. It inflates automatically upon immersion in water, and can also be triggered manually with the jerk-to-inflate handle. If the automatic mechanism fails to fire, the vest includes a back-up oral inflation tube so the wearer can still inflate it by mouth. A cylinder ready indicator shows green when the vest is properly armed, giving a quick visual check before use.

The vest is finished with SOLAS grade reflective material to improve visibility in low-light conditions, and its high-vis inflation chamber makes the wearer easier to spot once deployed. The back of the vest has an opening designed to work with most fall harnesses, making it suitable for workers who need harness access along with flotation protection. A 1.5 inch body belt reinforces the fit around the body.

Sizing is universal, fitting chests from 30 inches to 65 inches, and it is intended for persons 16 years of age and older who weigh over 80 pounds. Once fully inflated, it provides a minimum buoyancy of 35 pounds, meeting the performance requirements of a Type V device.
