GDR 175 150 Newton Inflatable Life Jacket – Compact, Certified Safety on the Water

The GDR 175 150 Newton Inflatable Life Jacket by Mesica is designed for high-performance marine safety in a compact and comfortable form. Certified to EN ISO 12402-3, this life jacket provides 150 Newtons of buoyancy, making it ideal for offshore sailing, powerboating, fishing, and commercial marine use.

This inflatable life jacket features automatic or manual inflation mechanisms, depending on your preference. Once activated, a CO₂ cartridge rapidly inflates the internal bladder, providing immediate buoyancy to keep the wearer afloat and in a face-up position. This critical self-righting function is vital during emergencies, especially if the wearer is unconscious or disoriented in the water.

The outer shell is made of durable, water-resistant fabric that resists wear, salt, and UV exposure. It is designed to sit lightly and comfortably over the shoulders, allowing freedom of movement for extended wear. Unlike bulky foam life jackets, the GDR 175 is sleek and low-profile, making it perfect for long hours on deck or in demanding conditions.

The 150 Newton buoyancy rating classifies this jacket for use in both inshore and offshore environments. It is capable of turning most wearers face-up and keeping the airways clear, making it suitable for use in rough waters or when wearing heavy clothing.

A manual backup pull cord is always available as a secondary inflation method, while an oral inflation tube allows for topping up if necessary. The jacket also includes reflective panels, a whistle for alerting rescuers, and adjustable waist straps to ensure a secure fit.

This model is also reusable—the CO₂ cartridge can be easily replaced and the bladder repacked after use, making it economical for regular users. Maintenance is simple, and the compact folded design allows for convenient storage on any vessel.

Whether you’re a sailor, fisherman, commercial operator, or casual boater, the GDR 175 150 Newton Inflatable Life Jacket offers dependable, certified safety with modern comfort and flexibility. It combines all the features marine professionals demand with the convenience recreational users appreciate.
