How it works

​

SWIM SHIRT OUTSIDE.

LIFE VEST INSIDE.

​

A flotation bladder sits inside the shirt with a CO2 inflator.  When you need it, it fills in seconds and holds your head above water. 

​

Three ways to Inflate

​

01 Oral Tube 

Top up by mouth

Blow into the oral tube to add air or inflate without a cartridge.

​

02 Ripcord 

Pull the red handle

One firm pull fires the CO2 cartridge and inflates the vest right away.

​

03 Automatic

Hands-free

Convert the swim shirt to auto inflate when submerged, so the vest infaltes even if you can't reach the cord.

​

Certification

​

WHAT "COAST GUARD CERTIFIED" MEANS

​

​The SOS Swimshirt Laguna is certified by the U.S. Coast Guard as a Type V personal flotation device with Type III performance when inflated. Type V devices count toward your required life jacket when worn, which is exactly what the SOS Swimshirt is designed for. 

 

Device:  Inflatable PFD, wearable

USCG type:  V, Type III performance

Certified:   December 2022

After you inflate​

​

RE-ARM AND GO AGAIN

​

Deflate the bladder through the oral tube.

Replace the CO2 cartridge and automatic bobbin.

Check the indicator shows green before your next time on the water.

Rinse with fresh water after salt water and air-dry out of direct sun.

​

​Safety

​

WEAR IT RIGHT

​​

Inflatable PFDs are meant for adults and for people who can swim.

Check the inflator before every outing.

The SOS Swimshirt doesn't replace supervision, swimming skills or a lifeguard.
