SOLAS Coastal PFD - 150N

The Beaufort SOLAS Coastal PFD is a 150N foam lifejacket designed and approved for use on commercial vessels operating in coastal and offshore waters, meeting the latest IMO regulations for passenger and crew safety and carrying full SOLAS/MED approval. A 150N buoyancy rating is the highest standard foam lifejacket classification — providing enough buoyancy to turn an unconscious person face-up in the water and keep the airway clear, making it the appropriate choice for commercial marine operations, ferries, cruise vessels and any application where regulatory compliance and genuine life-saving performance are required.

What sets this lifejacket apart from conventional foam alternatives is its thoughtful, practical design. The foldable construction dramatically reduces storage volume compared to a standard foam lifejacket, making it far easier to carry the required number of units on board without sacrificing locker space. Fast to don, comfortable to wear and stocked with essential safety accessories right where you need them, it's a well-considered lifejacket that goes beyond basic compliance to deliver genuine usability in an emergency situation.
