Customer ratings

The vest is comfortable to wear and has excellent features including a light and emergency knife.

I believe life jackets should be a bright, vibrant color.

Black is too inconspicuous.

Fits very well, is comfortable to wear.

Great value for money and very fast delivery. Always happy to order again

I had a good experience, fast delivery, quality material, good prices!

Comfortable and very complete

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!

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.

The life jacket is good and delivers on all its promises. It's quite heavy, but lightweight considering everything it includes; I suppose you just need to get used to wearing it. For ocean crossings, it's a 10/10. NOTE: Life jackets are only required to be inspected every two years, but SVB sends out what they have in stock, and you might need to have yours inspected after just a few months. SVB is not responsible if you want a new or recently inspected life jacket. Buying it directly from Veleria San Giorgio costs €100 less; it's the most recommended option. You don't mess around with safety equipment.

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.

With the offer price the product is very attractive.

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)
