EP 38 Ocean Racing Hydrostatic Inflatable Vest - Black/Fluorescent Yellow/Green - Automatic/Manual

This over-the-head entry automatic inflatable PFD is designed with a lightweight, low-profile chassis that won’t limit mobility during high-output grinding and sail changes.  An integrated sailing harness with a soft tie-in keeps you safely tethered as you work.  Hydrostatic Inflator Technology (HIT) automatically inflates underwater pressure and not when you encounter rain or spray.  A pull cord allows you to inflate the vest at any time manually; the handle tucks away to avoid snags when not needed.  The back-mounted sprayhood is stowable, and internal storage holds AIS, PLBs, strobes, or other electronics.  The lifting loop, marine-grade whistle, and retro-reflective material all provide a safer marine experience.
