Foam Life Jackets
The flotation jacket, your best ally for dinghy sailing
For dinghy sailing, it is better to be equipped with a flotation jacket. These are made mandatory by the regulations and will help you float if you fall in the water. However, there are many different types of dinghy vests, and it is sometimes difficult to make the right choice. It's important to know a few things about life jackets, which we'll cover here.
The different types of flotation jackets
First of all, let's remind you that the regulations impose the permanent wearing of a lifejacket of at least 50N (50 Newtons). Once this point is clarified, it is important to note that there are different forms of lifejackets, and that all have advantages and disadvantages. The most common type of flotation device is the foam, sleeveless vest, which offers limited freedom of movement. There are now other types of models, with adaptations made to improve freedom of movement in particular, but also the general comfort when you wear it for a prolonged period. Models like the Aero Pro PFD by Spinlock, integrated to a technical t-shirt, will be ideal for a sporty outing. Indeed, it allows an excellent freedom of movement, exactly what you need to maneuver. Another model like the H2Flow 50N Vest signed Helly Hansen is directly integrated into a classic Crew vest. This keeps you warmer but also more comfortable. As with any technical equipment, not all dinghy jackets are equal and you should also make your choice according to your budget.
