BackTow™ Technology: The only inflatable PFD harness equipped with patented BackTow™ technology, specifically designed for man-overboard (MOB) scenarios. When the wearer remains tethered to the vessel after inflation, they can pull the BackTow™ handle to position themselves face-up for safe towing. This technology minimizes injury risks by providing a strong recovery point, allowing even smaller crew members to assist in recovery using a winch.
Patent number: 2782646
Automatic Firing Head: The ProSensor Elite Inflation System works by using a water-activated mechanism. A compressed paper capsule dissolves when wet, releasing a spring that fires the CO2 cylinder to inflate the PFD. The design prevents accidental inflation due to spray or rain.
Size: Suitable for adult chest sizes 68cm-144cm.
Certifications and Approvals: TeamO inflatable PFDs are ISO12402-3 approved but do not have Transport Canada or US Coast Guard approval. Check local laws for requirements. Transport Canada requires a lifejacket or PFD for each person on a watercraft.
