Team O Backtow 170N OFFSHORE Lifejacket
Team O Backtow 170N OFFSHORE Lifejacket
Introducing our new Coastal BackTow Lifejacket: designed for shorter offshore sailing including overnight passages and coastal sailing. The Coastal still features TeamO's award-winning Patented BackTow system. This is the only lifejacket with a moveable harness point - if you fall overboard whilst tethered to your boat, the BackTow system can be deployed after the lifejacket has inflated to turn you face-up. The person in the water remains with the boat in the safe face-up position, reducing the life-threatening risk of being in the open water. Recovery from the water is easy as the BackTow system is also an approved lifting point. Simply clip a halyard or sheet to the BackTow strop and winch the person back on board.

Techical Details
- 170N lifejacket harness, suitable for inshore and offshore sailing
- ISO12402-3 approved
- The only lifejacket harness on the market with BackTow Technology. Our patented BackTow technology functions in a MOB situation when the wearer is still tethered to a vessel.
- Three choices of inflation method: Prosensor Elite, Hammar or Manual.
- After inflation, the wearer manually pulls the large BackTow handle that is available on top of the right-hand lung. The wearer is then turned into a face-up seated position in the water and they are towed alongside the vessel safely.
- BackTow reduces the risk of injury during recovery by functioning as a strong point. A halyard can be clipped to any part of the BackTow strop and even a small person can then recover a MOB wearing a TeamO with the use of a winch.
