TeamO BackTow PFD: Ultimate Offshore Safety, Now in the USA
TeamO Inflatable PFD: Redefining Boat and Marine Safety
Out on the water, conditions can change in seconds — and when they do, the only gear that truly matters is the one that keeps you alive. The TeamO inflatable PFD with BackTow™ technology isn’t just another lifejacket; it’s a breakthrough in marine safety designed by sailors, for sailors. Whether you’re racing offshore, cruising the coast, or exploring under power, TeamO delivers the perfect balance of comfort, innovation, and real-world protection. When safety meets performance, there’s only one choice: TeamO.
What Makes TeamO Lifejackets Stand Out?
Serious sailors don’t compromise on safety — and neither does TeamO. Each TeamO inflatable lifejacket is built around the brand’s patented BackTow™ Technology, which automatically turns a person face-up if they fall overboard while tethered, keeping the airway clear and the wearer safe until recovery.
-
Integrated harness and dual crotch straps for a secure, balanced fit — unlike other brands that use a single strap or charge extra.
-
High-visibility sprayhood for protection against waves and wind-driven spray.
-
SOLAS-approved water-activated light and safety whistle for visibility and signaling.
-
Square-shoulder “backpack” fit that sits comfortably over layers and foul-weather gear.
-
Adjustable sizing that fits from a women’s size 0 up to a men’s 4XL — one vest that truly fits all.
-
Color-fast, UV-resistant fabric that won’t fade even after years in the sun.
Trusted by professional cruisers and ocean racers alike, TeamO is the choice of Sailing Nahoa, Sailing Uma, and Red Seas, and even caught attention from the Royal couple during their competitive sail trials.
Prioritizing Safety: The BackTow Advantage
Every sailor knows that a man-overboard moment is chaotic — seconds matter, visibility vanishes, and traditional tethers can turn deadly by pulling the wearer face-down. TeamO’s patented BackTow™ system changes that outcome.
Instead of dragging you helplessly, BackTow™ automatically rotates the wearer face-up into a supported seated position, allowing them to breathe while remaining securely attached to the boat. It’s a simple idea that has already saved lives — and it’s something no other lifejacket manufacturer offers.

⚓ “Comfort Meets Safety” ⚓
Safety shouldn’t come at the cost of comfort — especially when you’re hours offshore. TeamO’s inflatable PFDs are engineered for sailors who live in their gear, delivering freedom of movement and protection you can actually forget you’re wearing.
Dual adjustable straps and a lightweight, balanced design keep pressure evenly distributed, while the square-shoulder fit sits naturally over foul-weather layers like a backpack. The result? No rubbing, no bulk — just reliable comfort through night watches, long passages, and everything in between.
A high-visibility, breathable sprayhood shields against wind and spray without trapping heat, so you stay dry, alert, and ready for whatever the sea delivers. With TeamO, comfort isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into every seam.
⚓ Why Choose TeamO? ⚓
When it comes to life at sea, there are no second chances. Whether you’re racing offshore, cruising the coast, or spending quiet weekends on the water, your safety gear should work as hard as you do. TeamO’s inflatable lifejackets combine intelligent British engineering with real-world experience to deliver unmatched comfort, protection, and peace of mind.
