TeamO Inflatable PFD with BackTow technology Offshore Pro Sensor Black

TeamO Inflatable PFD with BackTow Technology – Built for Sailors, Cruisers, and Racers

When conditions get lively, experienced crews reach for gear that simply works. The TeamO inflatable PFD with BackTow technology combines UK build quality with thoughtful engineering for long watches, night entries, and offshore passages.

This inflatable harness provides 170 N (≈38 lb) of buoyancy, exceeding the ISO 150 N offshore standard. The added lift rides the wearer higher in chop for better airway clearance and visibility under tow.

ProSensor Elite inflation auto‑activates on immersion and offers a manual pull. An inspection window lets you verify cylinder status before leaving the dock. Reset and re‑arm are straightforward—ideal for passagemaking routines.

• Integrated deck safety harness D‑ring for tether attachment
• SOLAS‑approved water‑activated light (≈8‑hour operation)
• Fully integrated sprayhood for wave and spindrift protection
• Double crotch straps with rear adjusters for a secure, low‑ride fit
• Comfortable cut for foul‑weather layers and harnesses

BackTow™: Controlled Towing After MOB

After inflation, a large BackTow handle rotates the wearer face‑up and seats them for astern, controlled towing alongside the hull—reducing forward drag and airway flooding typical with conventional tethers. Recovery is simpler; even a smaller crewmate can winch from the strongpoint.

For crews who prioritize seamanship over gimmicks, the TeamO inflatable PFD with BackTow technology is a quiet upgrade that matters when it counts.

Choose the TeamO inflatable PFD with BackTow technology for inshore nights, offshore races, and bluewater cruising—reliable, checkable, and designed by sailors.
