It wears comfortably, like a life jacket with a lower buoyancy – the soft collar is very comfortable. Good accessibility for checking the components.

It offers comfort and security.

With a vintage boat, I acquired some old non-automatic life jackets. The new automatic life jackets increase crew safety to a modern level and are also easy to handle and comfortable to wear.

Great. Price-performance ratio is good. The vest is used on our Zeeshouw, mainly in the Wadden Sea.
We'll see whether the vest does what it promises in an emergency. More reviews will follow... hopefully.

Classic cut and good fit.
I don't like lifebelts that much because they're too long and often get in the way. They also get caught sometimes. Carabiner, well, okay.

After a short adjustment of the straps, the Seatec vest fits on the upper body with a good grip and tension - TOP freedom of movement - fleece on the neck hardly plays a role in practice. Nevertheless, it is now noticeable that if the chest strap is correctly tensioned, the classic buckle could no longer be opened under load... We will still use the vest and equip the future life belt with an NOT release. The bundle with the Life-Line convinces with an attractive price - However, the Life-Line is not suitable for us and is being returned - The opening angle with a fixed railing is too small (should at least work, even if not optimally - we just have a FIXED -Reeling - no steel cable), the mechanism via the safety device for opening is also unnecessarily cumbersome! (I'm only thinking of gloves and cold fingers - it's just not necessary either) We prefer a carabiner like Edelrid's that can be easily opened wide with one hand. Nevertheless, the line is better without a ZIP on the strap than with it, and the length of the straps is good and practical - if you can get by with the carabiner closure, you have an excellent price-performance ratio. Otherwise improve Vest JA and Life-Line.

The XD300 makes a very good impression of quality and is comfortable to wear. Even after four hours on a thin jacket, I still felt comfortable wearing it. My partner, who was wearing the same vest, could also confirm that.

Value for money is top
