Throw Cushions & Rings
When it comes to safety on the water, one should not neglect the availability of safety devices on board during any water activity. A safe boating experience requires a thorough approach to the choice of safety products. Personal flotation devices will be irreplaceable for your staying afloat. Cushions and life rings also belong to this category. They are used to be thrown on the water when someone aboard is in trouble.
What should be taken into account when choosing a life ring? Firstly, it can be made of various materials such as kapok or polyvinyl-chloride foam. Depending on the material, the price and properties of a lifebuoy may vary. Secondly, coloring is worth attention as well when making a decision what type of a life ring to buy. It is generally accepted to use safety equipment of bright colors such as red, orange or with white stripes, as they make a person in the water visible for the rescuers. Many lifesavers also wear a retro-reflective tape, which is aimed at improving visibility in low-light conditions.
Another factor that is worth attention when you have doubts as to the kind of the throw device to buy is the type of the vessel you own. For use on yachts, commercial fishing vessels, and other boats, 24" Ring Buoy may be a good solution. For larger yachts, commercial vessels, and offshore installations 30" Ring Buoy is preferred. Throwable PFDs come in different shapes as well. Horseshoe buoys, ring buoys and throwable cushions are made to keep the sinking person afloat. Customers can find a big choice of life rings of various diameters, shapes, or types only by browsing our assortment.
The quality of flotation devices is of vital importance as somebody’s life can depend on the available equipment.
