Automatic Firing Head: The ProSensor Elite Inflation System works by using a water-activated mechanism. A compressed paper capsule dissolves when wet, releasing a spring that fires the CO2 cylinder to inflate the PFD. The design prevents accidental inflation due to spray or rain.

|---|---|
| Certification | ISO 12402-2 (275N offshore standard) with integrated ISO 12401 deck safety harness |
| BackTow™ | Patented moveable harness point - if you go overboard while tethered, BackTow rotates you to be towed on your back, face clear of the water |
| Made in | United Kingdom - stocked and shipped from our US warehouse, duty and tariffs already paid |
| Re-arming | Re-arming kits for ProSensor, UML Mk5i, and Hammar heads are available in our store - re-arm after any inflation and inspect annually |
| US approval note | TeamO lifejackets are ISO-certified and have not been submitted for USCG type approval. US-flagged boats must still carry USCG-approved PFDs for each person aboard; many offshore sailors wear a TeamO for its MOB performance while meeting carriage rules with onboard jackets. |
