What's the difference between a life jacket and a buoyancy aid? A life
jacket will turn an unconscious swimmer on their back to keep their mouth and
nose out of the water. The downside is that a life jacket will only allow a
conscious swimmer to swim on their back. A buoyancy aid will not turn the wearer
face up, but its primary purpose is to support a conscious swimmer and make it
easy for the wearer to swim in a normal and powerful fashion when required (like
when you've really got to make that eddy!). They also provide some welcome body
armour on certain trips!
We do stock a range of life
jackets, which we recommend for use by people who may have trouble swimming.
They are also suitable for sailing, and we have models for children and babies.
They can be found in our Watersports
section.
We also supply a range of River
Buoyancy Aids and also Centre
spec Buoyancy aids.
For those of you who would like to take your four legged friends out on the
water, check out our range of Pet
Buoyancy Aids.
Which Buoyancy Aid?
There are several styles of buoyancy aid on offer and they are suitable for
either sea and touring use (the ones here) or river
paddling. If you are looking for buoyancy aids for outdoor centre or group
work we have a range of Centre
Buoyancy Aids.
The Delta
Sportswear range is a good place to start looking at our entry level sea and
touring buoyancy aids which features very popular models such as the Delta
Traveller, while the Delta
Ranger is ideal for kayak fishing.
Features to look at when choosing your salt water Buoyancy aid are pockets,
adjustability and zips. Some, for example the Palm
Symbiant Tour and Yak
Vent, have an add on pocket that is designed to be easily attached, this
will enable them to then take a hydration
system.
If you're going fishing and you wish to blend in choose a neutral coloured
option with plenty of pockets, like the Palm
Taupo Tour in the olive/moss colour or the Delta
Ranger. On the other hand, if you want to be clearly visible in the sea for
safety reasons, look for more brightly coloured buoyancy aids such as the Yak
Vent or the Palm
Taupo Tour in red.
