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 that an unconscious person can be turned over and swim more easily.
The Plastimo Pilot 165 lifejacket is available with three different release ranges: manual, automatic or Hammar Hydrostatic. Once triggered, the lifejacket deploys a fluorescent yellow inner tube with self-reflecting stripes, making it easier to spot the person who has fallen overboard outside the boat.
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) used to inflate 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 firing pin on the carbon dioxide cylinder. The kit has an expiration date-after which it must be replaced. However, there is a risk of unintentional triggering (by 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 doesn't risk being triggered by splashing water (high pressure is required). All inflatable vests can be triggered manually. |
Construction of the Pilot 165 inflatable lifejacketThe Plastimo vest 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 your arms more room, even when wearing loose-fitting clothing (jackets, etc.). The structure has been optimized to rest on your shoulders, which is ideal for resting your neck for greater comfort when wearing the vest. The inner tube is always well protected by a kind of cover, and the new double-opening YKK zip facilitates maintenance operations such as reconditioning. This vest will adjust perfectly to your body shape thanks to one of its adjustable side straps. Shown here with harness, the Pilot 165 lifejacket closes and adjusts with a lighter, more ergonomic buckle. It features a retro-reflective thread sewn into the center for easy night-time identification. There's also a harness-free version of the Plastimo Pilot 165 lifejacket. You can add accessories such as a sub-cutal strap or a lanyard (sold separately). |

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.
Je voulais savoir si ce gilet était réservé exclusivement aux adultes ?
Bonjour Yann, ce gilet est conçu pour les personnes de minimum 40 kg. Si vous le mettez sur un enfant, il ne sera pas adapté à sa morphologie. Si vous voulez un gilet pour enfant, privilégiez un gilet spécifiquement adapté à leur taille et poids.
Comment bien entretenir son gilet de sauvetage gonflable Plastimo ?
Bonjour Samuel, entretenir son gilet de sauvetage est quelque chose d'essentiel pour prolonger sa durée de vie et assurer son efficacité.
- Tout d'abord vérifiez visuellement votre gilet avant chaque sortie (housse extérieure, cartouche de C02, fermeture, sangle, système de déclenchement ...).
- Faites le vérifier par un professionnel chaque année.
- Stockez le dans un endroit approprié aéré et sec.
- Si votre gilet a été utilisé et déclenchement, pensez à acheter des pièces de rechange adapté à votre gilet et à son système de déclenchement.
