TeamO Offshore Inflatable PFD Pro Sensor - Reliable Auto Inflation for Offshore Crews

Built in the UK for sailors, cruisers, and offshore racers, the TeamO Offshore Inflatable PFD Pro Sensor blends practical design with proven automatic activation. It delivers 170 N (≈38 lb) of buoyancy, exceeding the ISO offshore baseline of 150 N to keep the airway higher above chop and spray. This product is already here in the United States so that duty and tariffs have already been paid for you.

ProSensor Elite: Clear, Checkable, and Fast

The ProSensor Elite system uses a water‑activated dissolving bobbin that triggers inflation on immersion, with a manual pull as backup. A front inspection window lets you verify cylinder present/charged and bobbin in‑date before casting off. Re‑arming is straightforward with standard TeamO kits (CO2 cylinder + bobbin unit).

  • Automatic inflation on immersion; manual handle backup
  • Integrated deck safety harness D‑ring for secure tethering
  • Fully integrated sprayhood for wave and spindrift protection
  • SOLAS‑approved water‑activated light (~8‑hour operation)
  • Double crotch straps with rear adjusters for a low, secure ride
  • Comfortable cut to layer over foul‑weather gear and harnesses

BackTow™ Recovery Advantage

After inflation, TeamO’s BackTow handle rotates the wearer face‑up and seats them for controlled towing alongside the hull, reducing forward drag and airway flooding and making winch‑assisted recovery simpler for smaller crew.

For shorthanded night entries, coastal hops, and bluewater passages, the TeamO Offshore Inflatable PFD Pro Sensor offers check‑at‑a‑glance readiness and the extra lift of 170 N. Choose the TeamO Offshore Inflatable PFD Pro Sensor for a dependable, sailor‑tested solution that’s easy to inspect, re‑arm, and wear all watch long.


TeamO BackTow PFD safety system diagram

Exclusive BackTow™ Technology:

TeamO PFDs are the only inflatable harnesses on the market equipped with the innovative BackTow™ Technology. This patented system is specifically designed for man-overboard (MOB) situations where the wearer remains tethered to the vessel.

After inflation, the wearer can manually pull the large BackTow™ handle located on top of the right-hand lung. This action repositions the wearer into a face-up seated position in the water, allowing for safe towing alongside the vessel.

The BackTow™ strap serves as a strong point for recovery, significantly reducing the risk of injury. A halyard can be clipped to any part of the BackTow™ strap, enabling even a small person to recover a MOB with the assistance of a winch.

TeamO PFDs: Combining safety, innovation, and comfort for every boater and sailor.

Certifications and Approvals:

TeamO inflatable PFD are approved by the following international standards:

Please note: TeamO Inflatable PFDs are a UK-designed, world-class product that has the highly regarded world standard of ISO12402-3. TeamO Inflatable PFDs do not have Transport Canada or US Coast Guard approval.

Many countries coast guards state, "You are required by law to have a lifejacket or PFD (Personal Flotation Device) onboard for each person on a watercraft." The Lifejackets or PFDs must be state and country approved to be counted. Investigate your local laws and rules to follow suggested guidelines.

Before you buy

  • BackTow is designed for a tethered sailor overboard scenario, where the harness point can rotate the wearer into a safer face-up towing position.
  • TeamO lifejackets are ISO-certified and have not been submitted for USCG type approval. U.S. boats should still carry USCG-approved PFDs as required.
  • Use the 170N ProSensor Elite 38g re-arming kit for compatible Offshore 170N ProSensor models.
  • For offshore use, check fit over your foul-weather gear and inspect the firing head annually.
