TeamO Micro 170N Inflatable Lifejacket - No BackTow
Why choose the Micro 170N: TeamO positions the Micro as its low-profile model for day sailing, powerboating, racing, fishing, and work around water.
The Micro keeps the profile simple with water-activated Mk5i inflation. It does not include BackTow or an integrated deck harness.

Low-profile configuration
The Micro keeps the 170 N inflatable lifejacket format but does not include BackTow or an integrated deck harness.
When BackTow is included
Coastal, Offshore, and Ocean models add an integrated deck harness and a manually activated towing point intended for a tethered-overboard situation.
BackTow is not automatic. On equipped models the lifejacket inflates first, then a conscious wearer pulls the large handle to move the towing point.

More product questions
How do ProSensor and Hammar inflation differ?
ProSensor uses a water-sensitive element. The Hammar system activates from water pressure after roughly 10 cm (4 in) of submersion, which is intended to reduce activation from rain and spray. Both systems include a manual pull handle. Follow the exact model manual and label.
What is the difference between 170 N and 275 N?
TeamO lists the 170 N models for coastal and offshore sailing. It positions the 275 N Ocean for extreme offshore conditions and situations involving heavier foul-weather clothing or equipment. Confirm fit, intended use, and applicable standards rather than choosing from buoyancy alone.
What maintenance does an inflatable lifejacket need?
Inspect the cylinder, inflation system, fabric, webbing, and stitching as directed by the product label and manual. Keep the lifejacket dry when stored and use the exact matching kit after any inflation.
What standards and vessel requirements should I check?
TeamO lists international lifejacket and harness standards for this range and says it has not sought U.S. Coast Guard type approval. Confirm the equipment rules that apply to your vessel and operation.
