Pilot 165 lifejacket - Without harness

WHICH RELEASE SYSTEM?

The manual release system consists of a punch to be activated manually in the event of a fall. This punch punctures the lid of the gas cylinder (CO2) that inflates the lifejacket. However, it cannot be activated when the user loses consciousness.

The automatic release (or cellulose pellet release) uses a cartridge with a soluble element that is resistant to humidity and sea spray. As a result, the vest will only activate after immersion in water. On contact with water, the pellet disintegrates (salt or cellulose). It releases a powerful spring which activates a striker that strikes the carbon dioxide cylinder. The kit has an expiration date beyond which it must be replaced.

However, there are risks of unintentional triggering (with a large wave, for example).

Hammar (hydrostatic) release : This system operates under the effect of water pressure. As soon as the pressure increases (from 10 cm underwater), the membrane lets the water through and the vest inflates automatically.

The advantage of the Hammar system is that it does not risk being triggered by splashing water (high pressure is required).

All inflatable vests can be triggered manually.
