Key Features

• Thermo-Bonded Urethane-Coated Fabric: Constructed with heat-sealed urethane-coated nylon for maximum durability and resistance to environmental exposure.
• Water Ballast System: Integrated ballast pockets stabilize the raft in turbulent water, reducing the risk of tipping and improving survivability.
• Water Activated Locator Light: Automatically activates in water to aid search and rescue visibility, especially during low-light or nighttime events.
• High-Visibility Orange Canopy and Mast: Improves detectability from the air and provides elemental protection to occupants.
• Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Components: Lightweight aluminum cylinders and valves minimize weight while resisting corrosion in saltwater environments.
• Heavy-Duty Soft-Pack Valise: Durable polyester enclosure with secure Velcro closures keeps the raft tightly packed and easy to store.
