Description

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.

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.

Simone Paulsen

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!

“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.”

All FAQs

Why do I need additional buoyancy when rowing?

Additional buoyancy can often take the edge off an unpleasant situation in the water, and knowing that you have buoyancy with you just in case allows you to enjoy rowing more freely and relaxed.

Remember, even the best equipment can be damaged or you can be unexpectedly separated from your equipment. In this case, additional buoyancy carried on your body and with you at all times is vital. Other people in the water may also need help. By handing them a buoyancy compensator from a safe distance, you can help them effectively without putting yourself in danger.

Who is ACTIVE for?

ACTIVE is versatile and suitable for a wide range of activities on and in the water - both training and competition.

Use ACTIVE for swimming, stand-up paddling, fishing, boating, triathlon, kayaking and canoeing.

Can I use the RESTUBE Safety Buoy more than once?

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.

Detailed instructions for how to get the Safety Buoy ready to go again are available in our blog: https://restube.com/blogs/news/how-to-pack-restube-care-and-maintain-correctly

How many times can a CO2 cartridge be used?

A CO2 cartridge can be used to trigger the Safety Buoy once. Afterwards, the empty CO2 cartridge must be removed, and a new original RESTUBE CO2 cartridge must be inserted.

This is simple, and only takes a few steps. You can view an instruction video here: https://restube.com/blogs/news/how-to-pack-restube-care-and-maintain-correctly

You can also blow up the Safety Buoy manually using the mouth valve. This is a practical option if you are using the Safety Buoy as a swim buoy, or for snorkeling.

You can purchase a 2-pack of original RESTUBE CO2 cartridges from our shop!
