Safety is essential when it comes to water sports, and the right life jacket can make the difference between a fun experience and a risky one. At Avasport, we understand how important it is to choose the right lifejacket, so we’ve prepared a few essential tips to help you make the best choice based on the activity you practice and your needs.
- Choose the lifejacket based on the water activity
Not all lifejackets are the same. They vary depending on the type of water sport you practice and the level of safety required.
- Kayaking / Canoeing: If you enjoy paddling in calm waters or participating in kayaking or canoeing competitions, you need a lightweight and flexible jacket. Life jackets for these activities must offer maximum freedom of movement so you can paddle effortlessly. Avasport models are designed to be adjustable and provide excellent buoyancy without hindering your maneuvers.
- Rafting: For rafting, a sport often carried out in fast-moving waters, a lifejacket with high buoyancy is recommended. These models are built to withstand extreme conditions and offer additional protection. Our jackets are tested to withstand the toughest challenges.
- Fishing: Anglers have special needs, including extra space for tools and long-lasting comfort. Fishing lifejackets come with practical pockets and ensure buoyancy and comfort even during long sessions on the water.
- Size and adjustability are essential
A poorly fitting life jacket can compromise your safety. That’s why it’s important to choose the correct size and ensure the jacket is adjustable. Our jackets feature adjustable straps that allow for a perfect fit, regardless of body shape.
To ensure you choose the right size, measure your chest and waist circumference. A jacket that’s too tight can be uncomfortable, while one that’s too loose can slip off or even come off during a strong impact.
- Materials and comfort
Another important aspect when choosing a life jacket is the comfort it offers. High-quality materials not only ensure durability but also allow good ventilation, keeping you dry and comfortable. Avasport life jackets are made from lightweight, durable materials, offering the perfect balance between buoyancy and comfort.
- Certifications and safety standards
Make sure your life jacket complies with international safety standards. All Avasport models are ISO 12402 certified, the standard that guarantees that the jackets offer the necessary protection in case of emergency. This gives you peace of mind, knowing that our products meet the strictest safety requirements.
