Plastimo Typhon 100N Life Jacket

Discover unparalleled safety and comfort on the water with the PLASTIMO Typhon 100N Life Jacket, a top-tier choice for sailors and boaters in the Vests subcategory. Engineered for reliability in sheltered and coastal waters, this life jacket provides essential peace of mind for you, your family, and your crew. It is designed to meet the rigorous ISO 12402-4 standard, ensuring it performs when you need it most.

The Typhon 100N is an inherent buoyancy life jacket, meaning its flotation is provided by lightweight and durable foam, guaranteeing immediate buoyancy without the need for manual or automatic inflation. This design offers dependable, always-on protection, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of water activities. Its 100 Newton buoyancy rating provides excellent support in the water, designed to turn the wearer onto their back and keep their airways clear of the water, even if they are unconscious.

Every detail of the PLASTIMO Typhon is crafted for security and ease of use. Achieving a perfect, snug fit is simple and quick, which is critical for a life jacket´s performance. It features a robust zip closure, a hem tightening drawstring, and an adjustable waist belt with a sturdy plastic buckle. This multi-point adjustment system ensures the life jacket stays securely in place, preventing it from riding up during activity or in the water.

Comfort is paramount for any piece of wearable equipment, and the Typhon excels in this area. It is equipped with a unique 3-block ergonomic collar that provides superior head support while minimising chafing and maximising comfort around the neck. To further enhance safety and prevent the jacket from being pulled over the head during a water entry, an adjustable quick-fit crutch strap with a plastic buckle is included, securing the vest to the wearer´s body.

Visibility is a key component of water safety. The Typhon life jacket is finished in a high-visibility colour and features SOLAS-approved retro-reflective tape on the collar, dramatically increasing your detectability in low light or during a nighttime search and rescue operation. For attracting attention, an attached safety whistle is always within reach. A durable grab handle is also integrated into the design, facilitating a swift and secure recovery from the water.

PLASTIMO ensures that the entire family can be protected. The Typhon is also available in smaller sizes and a variety of colours, specifically designed for toddlers and children from 3 to 30 kg. Please see our ´childrens lifejackets´ pages for these dedicated models, which offer the same high standards of safety tailored for younger users.

Choose the PLASTIMO Typhon 100N Life Jacket for a reliable, comfortable, and highly effective safety solution for all your coastal boating adventures
