Rapid Changing Cover Designs Enhance User Wearability

Some of the customer base has been reluctant to use life preservers due to uncomfortable fittings which in part are the result of heavier weight PFD UL-approved inflatable jacket materials that are needed for a functioning unit. Recent developments in technology have enabled manufacturers to provide a much lighter cell material. This along with flexibility in UL non-essential specifications, ensure a more comfortable fit and a higher rate of usage by those in the marketplace.

Speakers: Chris Semonelli, ESquared, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, and Wayne Walters, Kent Water Sports, LLC
