Safety Buoys

RESTUBE ACTIVE, EXTREME, AUTOMATIC and LIFEGUARD have a buoyancy of 75 Newtons, which can lift around 7.5kg out of the water. In a critical situation it is most important that the airways are not submerged, i.e. that the head is above the water up to at least mouth. To do this, about 4kg must be lifted out of the water. If you lean over the buoy, the Safety Buoy´s buoyancy is sufficient. BEACH has a drive of 50 Newtons, which lifts about 5kg out of the water. This is also sufficient for an adult, even if the 75N versions of the saefty buoys are of course a bit more comfortable.

RESTUBE products are mainly produced in Vietnam. The production facility fulfils strict social and environmental standards and is regularly inspected by internal RESTUBE employees as well as external audits. Find out more here.

BEACH has a buoyancy of 50N and is ideal for families, children and seniors for leisure activities on and in the water. It is also suitable for stand up paddlers in swimwear in the summer - wherever there are no swimming aid regulations. ACTIVE has 75N buoyancy and is ideal for swimming or stand-up paddling, for training or competitions. EXTREME has a buoyancy of 75 N and is suitable for rough conditions when kite- and windsurfing, surfing or in professional use.

Yes, after replacing the CO2 CARTRIDGE, the Safety Buoy is immediately ready for use again. The sales package contains the safety buoy incl. an original RESTUBE CO2 CARTRIDGE that must be screwed in before use. After use, the safety buoy is very easy to prepare for use again: Deflate, insert a new cartridge, fold the buoyancy chamber according to the printed instructions, and stow the whole thing in the pouch! ATTENTION: Only original RESTUBE CO2 CARTRIDGES are 1.) 100% quality tested, 2.) seawater resistant, 3.) level tested and 4.) the necessary release force is matched to the release. The cartridges comply with the standard for life jackets DIN EN ISO 12402-7. If other cartridges are used, it cannot be guaranteed that the safety buoy will fill without problems in an emergency and the trigger may be damaged.

Even good swimmers are not immune to an accident or a problematic situation in the water. You can get a cramp or suddenly become exhausted. You can get caught in a current or the weather can change. All these situations can cause you to panic. Additional buoyancy usually relaxes you immediately, allowing you to get your bearings and regain your strength.

Also, other people in the water can always be in trouble. By giving them a buoyancy aid such as the Safety Buoy, you can often provide effective help without putting yourself in danger.
