GDR 001 100 Newton Passenger Life Jacket – TIE-UP Model for Reliable Marine Safety

The GDR 001 100 Newton Passenger Life Jacket – TIE-UP is a safety-essential life-saving device designed for passengers aboard ferries, tour boats, and private watercraft. Manufactured by Mesica, this life jacket offers 100 Newtons of buoyancy, providing secure flotation for both swimmers and non-swimmers in inland and near-shore waters.

Certified to EN ISO 12402-4 safety standards, this tie-up style life jacket meets international requirements for life-saving appliances, making it ideal for commercial operators and recreational boaters responsible for passenger safety. The tie-up fastening system features strong, easy-to-use laces that allow for a traditional yet reliable fit across all body types.

The life jacket is filled with lightweight buoyant foam designed to keep the wearer afloat and oriented face-up in the water — even if unconscious. This makes it especially suitable for unexpected emergencies and group travel, where time and safety are critical.

Constructed from high-visibility, marine-grade fabric in bright orange or yellow, this vest increases wearer visibility on open water. In addition, it includes retro-reflective strips that shine brightly under rescue lighting or at night, helping emergency personnel locate and assist wearers quickly. A whistle is also securely attached to the chest for audible signaling during rescue operations.

The tie-up model is an excellent option for vessels that require quick donning and easy size adjustments. The adjustable tie strings provide flexibility to fit a wide range of sizes, making the jacket suitable for general use across multiple passengers. This is especially useful for commercial operators who need a standard, multipurpose flotation device for varying body shapes and sizes.

Though simpler than buckled models, the tie-up system ensures a snug and secure fit when properly adjusted. The vest’s ergonomic design supports unrestricted arm movement, allowing passengers to sit, stand, or move easily while remaining protected.

Additional features include a grab loop at the collar for fast retrieval during rescue, and secure foam segmentation to promote comfort and water drainage. The GDR 001 TIE-UP is durable, easy to maintain, and stackable — a practical solution for onboard storage.
