- UML inflator – automatic activation upon full water immersion, not spray
An unexpected current, a wave, or a moment of inattention – things can change quickly on the water. Whether in a kayak, canoe, or on a boat, the Lifejacket BOAT protects you reliably exactly when you need it. It belongs to the 150N class but provides 165N of buoyancy. Learn more about Newton and buoyancy classes here. This automatic unconsciousness-safe Lifejacket is designed so you’ll actually wear it – thanks to its comfortable fit.
No bulky flotation chamber on the chest like with foam lifejackets, no restriction while paddling, and no pressure when sitting. Ideal for canoeists, kayakers, motorboat users, and anyone who spends a lot of time on the water. The dual-shell construction permanently protects the buoyancy chamber and triggering mechanism. A key highlight: the separate air chamber remains airtight even if the outer shell is damaged – ensuring reliable safety, even in rough conditions.
The UML inflator is triggered only by full water immersion, not by spray or waves. Exactly when it matters. And thanks to the integrated RESTUBE READY patch, your Safety Buoy is always within reach – ready to provide buoyancy to others in an emergency and help you stay visible on the water. The lifejacket is entirely made in Europe, fully CE-certified according to ISO 12402-3 and ISO 12402-6, provides 165 N of buoyancy, and meets legal requirements for all waters.
Developed for water sports enthusiasts who want to enjoy their time in, on, and around the water. For peace of mind and maximum safety – without compromise.

Something unforeseen can always happen in the water. So it's very reassuring to have a RESTUBE safety buoy with you!
I spent a long time looking for a suitable safety product and then finally found the RESTUBE Safety System. It's brilliant!
Perfect product! It does exactly what it says on the tin. You can also use the RESTUBE Safety Buoy without a CO2 cartridge by blowing it up with your mouth.
I rescued a 7-year-old boy who was completely overwhelmed and way too far out with his SUP. Would I have swum to him without my RESTUBE safety buoy? I don't think so!

BASICS & RISKSRead Article →Suction Currents At Weirs And Locks: The River Hazards That Are Hard to Escape
While dramatic phenomena like large hydraulic rollers or rapids often attract attention, the more common and realistic danger in many central European rivers lies at fixed structures such as locks, weirs, and water outlets. Here, eddies and vertical suction currents develop, making these spots particularly misleading for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts - hard to see and often limited to very small areas.

PREVENTIONRead Article →Drink, Eat, Swim, Repeat: The Complete Hydration and Nutrition Guide for Swimmers
Swimming demands more from your body than most people realize. Whether you train seriously or simply enjoy a relaxed session at the pool, what you eat and drink has a direct impact on how you feel in the water and how quickly you recover afterwards. The right nutrition before training fuels your performance. The right nutrition after training rebuilds your muscles. And staying hydrated throughout makes the difference between sharp focus and early fatigue. This guide covers everything swimmers need to know: from calorie requirements and meal timing to the truth about the post-swim snack and why the old myth about swimming after eating is long overdue for a rethink.

BASICS & RISKSRead Article →Dangerous River Currents: How To Spot Eddies, Weirs & Hidden Current Traps
In Germany, 153 people drowned in rivers and streams in 2025 (DLRG Drowning Statistics) - making flowing water the leading environment for drowning deaths. Currents in rivers are rarely uniform. Particularly in areas where the natural or man-made structure of the river changes, complex and often chaotic current patterns develop. This includes river bends, bridge pillars, weirs, locks, and other structures. It is precisely at these points that many accidents occur, because the forces at work there are difficult to detect and exceptionally strong.

“Despite the escort boat, you swim out there alone. RESTUBE Safety Buoy helps me keep my focus while swimming. The super small Safety System has no flow resistance and is weightless in the water. A pull on the trigger inflates the yellow Safety Buoy in seconds, which gives me an even better feeling.”
