Adult Life Jackets

As sailors ourselves, we understand how paramount having the best possible safety equipment is, which is why we only stock adult life jackets from industry leading brands including Crewsaver Life Jackets, Seago Life Jackets and Spinlock Life Jackets.

Our life jackets for adults are suitable for all types of sailors. Whether it’s a jacket for occasional use while on the water, or a professional life jacket packed with the latest safety features, we have a product suitable for you.

Our adult life jackets are designed with sailors of all sizes and shapes in mind, including both men and women, with each jacket being adjustable depending on the frame of the wearer. If you’re looking to kit the family out in new life jackets for your next boat trip, we’d recommend exploring our range of kids life jackets and dog life jackets, to ensure a comfortable fit for everyone on board.

Prices range from an entry level life jacket, which will set you back around £45, through to top-of-the-range alternatives which have all of the latest technologies for keeping your head above water - you can see our blog post looking at the best life jackets by navigating to our blog.

Adult life jackets are inflated using four different methods. The inflation method chosen may be a personal preference, or a requirement of the regulations for the waters you sail in or sport you compete in. Automatic life jackets are our most popular inflation method of life jacket as they will inflate, even if the casualty is unconscious - where-as manual life jackets are more suited to those operating in confined spaces. We also sell pro sensor and hammar hydrostatic life jackets. More information on this can be found in our life jacket inflation guide.
