PLASTIMO - PILOT 165 LIFEJACKET WITH HARNESS - OPTIMUM SAFETY
The Pilot 165 lifejacket from Plastimo offers effective buoyancy of 165 Newton and is approved to category 150N, which will ensure the rollover of an unconscious person.
It features a new, more ergonomic design with a light, supple fabric cover for maximum range of movement. The cut has been slimmed down to give more room for your arms, and the structure has been optimized so that it rests on your shoulders rather than your neck for greater comfort.
The inner tube is always well protected, and the new double-opening YKK zip makes maintenance and reconditioning easy. This vest will adjust perfectly to your body shape thanks to one of its adjustable side straps.
In this harness configuration, the Pilot 165 lifejacket closes and adjusts with a textile buckle that replaces the classic stainless steel buckle . Lighter and more ergonomic horizontally (the buckle no longer bumps unexpectedly on board), it incorporates a retroreflective thread sewn into the center of the buckle, making it easier to spot at night. This stiffer buckle also makes it easier to hit the carabiner (for an optional lanyard, sold separately). There's also a harness-free version of this Pilot 165 lifejacket.
The Plastimo Pilot 165 lifejacket is available with three different release systems: manual, automatic or Hammar Hydrostatic. Once triggered, the lifejacket deploys a fluorescent yellow inner tube with self-reflecting stripes to help locate the person who has fallen overboard.
A larger version of the Pilot 165 lifejacket with harness is also available.
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 vest. 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. |

Bonjour, j'habite en Guadeloupe et j'aimerais savoir s'il est possible de me livrer ce gilet ?
Bonjour Mathias, malheureusement la réglementation aérienne proscrit le transport de cartouche de gaz, dont ce modèle est équipé. Qu'il soit en déclenchement manuel, Hammar ou automatique.
Nous vous recommandons de vous orienter vers un gilet de sauvetage sans déclenchement.
Bonjour, est-ce que ce modèle dispose d'une sangle passant entre les jambes ?
Bonjour Étienne, ce gilet de sauvetage ne dispose pas de sangle sous-cutale. Il vous faut opter pour la sangle sous-cutale compatible vendue séparément.
