Crewsaver comes up on top...again

Crewsaver Inflatable Lifejackets win international acclaim against stiff competition from other manufacturers.

Vene Magazine, the largest boating magazine in Scandinavia, has recently undertaken a comprehensive lifejacket test in conjunction with maritime security. This was carried out as a follow-up to a similar test done by Vene on 20 lifejackets in 2007. Both times Crewsaver Lifejackets won the overall test for comfort and performance.

This year Vene magazine tested several lifejackets from UK and international manufacturers, including jackets that were developed in recent years. The purpose of this test was to discover how the design and performance of inflatable lifejackets have changed over the years.

The overall winner of the test was the Crewsaver Crewfit 190N ZIP. One of the winning features was its advanced turning method that rotates the wearer into the right position facing up in the water. In addition, the Lifejacket placed the wearers in a comfortable and secure floating position regardless of their physical size. Its adjustment system was chosen as one of the best on test and was complimented for its hassle-free crutch straps and buckles. The inner seams of the Lifejacket were also noted as the most comfortable ones in the test.

Another Crewsaver Lifejacket, the Crewfit 190N Velcro version came second in the test. It was complimented for its easy-to-adjust buckles and the way it turned the user facing up in the water, as well as for its comfortable and effective double crutch straps.

Overall, the in-water performance of both Crewsaver Lifejackets was seen as the best of all tested Lifejackets.
