Lung
The most important element the inflation system is again manufactured in the United Kingdom by our specialist manufacturing partner SeaSafe who has over half a century of experience in design and production of life vests and other safety at sea products.
The inflatable lung that gives M8 Pull Vest its buoyancy has been specially designed to give the maximum amount of lift (for those technically minded over 100 Newtons worth) and to keep the wearer afloat in a head back position. The lungs design has been thoroughly tested and can withstand pressures over and above the industry standard (20-22 psi). In fact we have tested the production lung and it exceeded the industry standard by 6 psi!
How the M8 Pull Vest works?
The inflation system is controlled by pulling one of the control tabs situated of the chest. This activates the connected Co2 cylinders and thus inflates the lung. There is an oral inflation tube located high on the chest on the right hand side that can be accessed by the wearer and buoyancy can be added without activating the Co2 supply. There is a dump valve tab located on the left hand side above the hip that can be used to regulate the vests buoyancy and the dump valve also acts as an over fill pressure release should both cylinders be accidentally activated simultaneously.
