Description

The Watersnake Apollo is a foam Level 100 lifejacket built to be worn rather than stowed. Level 100 is the current AS4758 classification that replaced the old PFD Type 1 rating: a jacket with enough buoyancy and enough collar support to hold a wearer’s head clear of the water, which is why it is the class most often called for in open and offshore water. Always check the requirements that apply to your vessel and waterway.

The Apollo uses a neck brace style collar to do that work, and it goes on over the top of whatever the wearer is already dressed in. A full-length zip closes it, a quick release buckle locks it down, and a groin strap stops the jacket riding up over a child’s head in the water. A whistle comes attached.

Construction is tough, low-maintenance foam and fabric with nothing to service or re-arm, so it can live in the boat and be pulled on without a second thought. Finished in high-visibility yellow, and certified to AS4758.1:2022.
