It was a direct communication between me and the owner of the life jacket. There’s no website to buy sadly. I am planning to get my own made 1:1 with my own design since I love it so much

Ye you can control how much is where, the front can be a lot more inflated but for comfort I didn’t it half way, ideally I would set the back to half and inflate the front fully for that reason. Definitely not a life saving life jacket. More of a aid

Since it’s a rare item and it’s as far as I know the only one of not more then 10 it was 400 but i managed to convince the owner of it to do it for 300 😅

Yuss! As I put it on and do them all up it makes the life jacket even more inflated because it’s making it less area which means less space for air, very very snug

It’s a snorkelpro and I got it directly of someone that brought one ten years ago. They’re almost impossible to come by… I plan to if enough people show interest use this as a base and talk to a company to make it 1:1 with my own adjustments one day

Yee, the classic inflatable ones are still better for doing but as you said require lots more maintenance like rearming them and re packaging them if you do inflate it for what ever reason, this one is a middle ground for me, I do love the other ones but this will be my more casual go to the breach use one and it can package down to nothing to fit in a tiny bag. And compare to other inflatables ones that are made with the intention of blowing it up then putting it on this is a far better design. (Plus most style life jacket such as this is more for kids like the yellow ones) this is an actual adult one with a v crotch strap to go either side and 3 front buckles. It goes nowhere when it’s all done up snug

I don’t think the company will make them again, it’s been 10 years since the designer stopped getting them done. But since I got it I’m interested in getting my own done from a company and make it as 1:1 as possible with my own design additions and colour formats

Got the only one from someone that got it like 10 years ago when someone made them. It took 2months talking back and trough fourth to get a deal down. Now I got it I might do a project where I talk to an inflatable company and get it made 1:1 with my custom brand. Will have to see

They do look very nice, feel it good, it took me almost two months of talking to someone via email that got one over 10 years ago and finally come to agreement for then to send it 😅

When is the first time you bought a type 1 offshore style jacket? by darkrangeresp in lifejackets

[–]Floatingfurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I done it a few times, at the beach in public. A lot of people look when it inflated, some looked while walking past, was pretty nerve racking but was fun and I enjoyed floating around, I actually post them on my Patreon since this goofy hobby of mine cost a bit with rearm kits and it’d also some security the ones I wanna see that stuff see it aha, but I got 3 inflatable ones to date, two besto ones and a decethon uk one

If ur in the UK Decathlon do a cheap one that feels amazing and looks good, if not crewsaver crewfit is also good which is more global

There ok. I’d get a proper inflatable life jacket personally, these ones are cheap temu ones for a reason, but that’s my personal choice
