Great product I should try it in action, but otherwise it seems like a great product. The objection perhaps refers to all jackets of this type, the manufacturers recommend trying it before using it. In this case they should already be sold with a spare charging kit, otherwise you have to buy it separately.

Lots of features at a reasonable price! The vest is comfortable to wear and looks high quality. It has never had to save us, but we trust it to do so and feel well protected with it!

Significantly more comfortable to wear than our old vests (the sender's own brand). The crotch straps are only equipped with plastic buckles, which, in our experience, only hold about 45 kg. This is a shortcoming and safety disadvantage that can be overco

Comfortable to wear, fully featured, and reasonably priced - the black color may be pretty, but it's idiotic. (Hot, hard to see, etc.) The crotch straps are only equipped with plastic buckles, which experience has shown only to hold about 45 kg. This is a shortcoming and a safety disadvantage that the manufacturer could fix with little financial outlay! I'm retrofitting metal buckles that actually hold. If you have to be hoisted on board or even just pulled, the plastic buckles quickly wear out. Otherwise, the vest makes a good impression. We haven't really tested it seriously (in the water) yet. We'll probably do that when it's due for maintenance anyway. Delivery, as always, was quick and problem-free.

6/24/2025 Verified purchase Variant: 57821 in use on a Jouet - Fandango 33

Lifejacket EVO 290, lifeline eyelets fiddly, "target openings" suboptimal

Very good except for two things:
- the Lifeline eyelets are a bit fiddly to hook into.
- the company boasts experience and quality. Unfortunately, the zipper was threaded incorrectly (the 'plug' wasn't fully inserted into the 'shoe,' so the entire zipper opened when I tried it on... okay - I was able to test the zipper closure right away. The two opening points are so sensitive that you have to work very carefully to prevent the zipper from opening completely again. If you quickly 'throw' the vest onto the bed and it lands awkwardly, the zipper will also open. The Velcro fastener that covers the opening points is rather weak protection.

Conclusion:

In use (contrary to expectations), everything was fine and very functional - I'm satisfied - but the two above-mentioned things could be solved better, I think. (Comparison had a previous Secumar)

D-ring loops take some getting used to

The D-ring loops are a bit fiddly to handle with a lifeline. Metal rings would be easier to handle.
