- 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!

WATER RESCUE & EMERGENCY CARERead Article →Drowning Chain of Survival: How the Rescue Chain Saves Lives
Drowning is one of the biggest and, at the same time, most underestimated health problems worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 300,000 people drown every year. This makes drowning one of the most common causes of accidental death worldwide - and among children and young adults, one of the leading causes of preventable death of all. The real number is likely much higher, since deaths caused by floods, boating accidents, or other water-related disasters are often not included in international statistics. On top of that, many survivors are left with permanent neurological damage. Drowning can therefore cause not only death, but also considerable long-term suffering.

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.

WATER RESCUE & EMERGENCY CARERead Article →Why Drowning Happens in Silence: Recognizing Distress and Raising the Alarm
Drowning people don't scream, they don't wave, they don't struggle visibly - the drowning process almost always unfolds in silence. This article explains how to tell a real emergency apart from harmless splashing, why the bystander effect can turn deadly even at busy swimming spots, and why raising the alarm correctly matters just as much as recognizing the danger in the first place.
