Streamlined Life Jackets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Safety Life Jackets Come with Easy-to-Grab Handles

— September 21, 2013 — Unique
While safety life jackets ensure the temporary reprieve of those stranded at sea, they are inefficient to facilitate extractions en masse; this is where the simple ergonomic design of the Life Jacket Plus comes in handy. The life jacket comes in standard orange, but is a more rigid-looking life jacket, and comes with two easy-to-grab handles at the collar of the jacket that enables safety crew members to more easily drag and pull people out of the water.

The slippery nature of wet safety life jackets, coupled with those who may be struggling to stay afloat, are solved by the Life Jacket Plus with its fitting curves ensuring that the jacket doesn’t come off easily. The easy-to-connect straps and the material of the life jacket also ensure that the wearer doesn’t feel any physical discomfort as they wait for help.
Trend Themes
1. Streamlined Life Jackets - The ergonomic design of streamlined life jackets with easy-to-grab handles improves safety and facilitates more efficient extractions.
2. Rigid-looking Life Jackets - The use of more rigid-looking life jackets with easy-to-connect straps and comfortable materials enhances user experience and reduces physical discomfort.
3. Improved Water Rescue - The introduction of life jackets with easy-to-grab handles and secure fitting curves enables safety crews to more easily drag and pull people out of the water during mass extractions.
Industry Implications
1. Water Safety Equipment - The water safety equipment industry can capitalize on the demand for streamlined life jackets with innovative features.
2. Emergency Services - Emergency service providers can benefit from incorporating more efficient and user-friendly life jackets into their rescue operations.
3. Outdoor Recreation - The outdoor recreation industry can explore opportunities to enhance water safety by offering improved life jackets for water-based activities.
