Lifejacket Crewsaver 165N SPORT 9715BLA – 165 N buoyancy, adult inflatable/manual activation

Crewsaver 165N SPORT 9715BLA is an adult inflatable lifejacket offering 165 N of buoyancy in a compact, low-profile design. Intended for offshore and coastal use, this manual-activation lifejacket combines reliable floatation with freedom of movement for sailing, powerboating and watersports. The jacket incorporates adjustable straps and a streamlined silhouette to reduce bulk while maintaining secure positioning and easy wear.

Advantages

The 165 N buoyancy rating provides strong supporting force for adult users and aids in turning an unconscious person to a safer position in the water. Manual activation allows the wearer to deploy inflation when needed, preserving the jacket’s compact state during active use. Adjustable waist and crotch straps ensure a secure fit, while the slim casing and ergonomic cut minimise interference with harnesses and movement during on-deck tasks or active sports.

Suitable for

• Sailing and yachting in coastal and offshore conditions
• Powerboating and motor cruising where higher buoyancy is required
• Watersports that demand freedom of movement and reliable flotation
• Workboats and professional crews operating in exposed conditions

Key specifications

• Buoyancy: 165 N (adult rating)
• Activation: manual inflation mechanism

How to use

Wear the lifejacket over appropriate clothing and adjust the waist and crotch straps to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Keep the manual activation toggle accessible; pull the activation handle decisively when inflation is required. After inflation, remain calm, keep airway clear and signal for help as appropriate. Inspect the jacket before each use for visible damage, ensure the cylinder and mechanism are correctly installed according to the manufacturer’s service intervals, and follow official servicing instructions for repacking and cylinder replacement.

Usage recommendations

Use this 165 N inflatable lifejacket where higher buoyancy and a slim profile are needed, such as offshore sailing, powerboating or active watersports. Maintain regular servicing, store dry and protected from sunlight, and replace gas cylinders and firing mechanisms according to the manufacturer’s guidance to ensure reliable performance.
