BUOYANCY AIDS VEST PRODUCT VIDEO

John from Red takes us through the new Buoyancy Vest. A unisex buoyancy aid designed especially for stand-up paddle boarders, this latest addition to our safety range is the ideal choice for those wanting protection and in-water support, without compromising on comfort or manoeuvrability. Designed to allow for maximum arm mobility when paddling, so your adventures are unconstrained.
Close-to-body slimline fit makes getting back on your board from the water easy, as well as providing a more flattering appearance.
Engineered in collaboration with safety experts Baltic, and CE approved, this SUP buoyancy aid offers 50N of floatation protection whilst remaining practical and versatile. Ideal for those less confident in the water and the device we recommend in flowing water when using a waist belt leash, which can either be worn below or over the buoyancy aid.
Everything you need from a personal flotation device when you’re stand-up paddleboarding.

I really wanted to see it working in the water 😢

If the paddler falls into the water and is unconscious, will this buoyancy aid keep her / him afloat and therefore alive? Not clear at all from this video

I am always between weights when it comes to pfd do you recommend going xl i am usually a steady 14 stone ... tia

We’d say an XL is most likely going to be the best option for you. You can tighten it up using the straps to get a nice snug fit.

Will this keep me float, even if I cant swim

[@Red-Equipment]

Hi, As long as you choose the right size for your body size/ weight then it will give you enough buoyancy to float you but you will still need give some input - e.g moving your legs and arms. If you were not moving your limbs it won’t keep you fully afloat. To achieve full floating you would need to use a 150N buoyancy aid. It’s important that you feel confident in the water wearing it so we would suggest you try the vest in shallow water first before using in deeper water or with a paddle board to check it works for you. At the end of the day water competency is an important factor for all Waterports. Building your confidence over time is important.
