GDR 003 “KAPOK” 150 Newton “Zipper” Life Jacket – Durable Buoyancy with Classic Comfort

The GDR 003 “KAPOK” 150 Newton “Zipper” Life Jacket is a classic flotation solution designed for reliability, comfort, and long-term use. Using natural kapok buoyancy filling, this life jacket delivers consistent performance without the need for inflation systems or rearming kits. Ideal for offshore boating, fishing, kayaking, and general water-based work, it is a trusted choice for professionals and recreational users alike.

Rated at 150 Newtons of buoyancy, the GDR 003 “KAPOK” meets the stringent EN ISO 12402-3 certification for offshore marine safety. This ensures it provides ample support for users even in rough water, heavy clothing, or turbulent weather conditions. The kapok fiber filling gives it natural flotation properties that continue to function even if punctured, providing peace of mind when safety matters most.

One of the standout features of this life jacket is its zipper front closure, which ensures a snug, comfortable fit and easy wearability. Unlike tie-up or buckled vests, the zippered life jacket design provides added stability and eliminates shifting during movement. This feature is especially helpful for active users who need freedom of motion and secure coverage while working on or near the water.

The outer shell is made of abrasion-resistant, saltwater-proof material that is built to last through heavy use and challenging environments. High-visibility reflective strips are integrated into the jacket for enhanced safety in low-light or nighttime conditions, and an attached whistle enables the wearer to call for help during emergencies.

The GDR 003 “KAPOK” is ideal for users who prefer non-inflatable life jackets. Since it doesn’t rely on gas cartridges or automatic triggers, it requires minimal maintenance. This makes it perfect for boat operators who need durable, no-fuss gear that will perform reliably season after season.

Thanks to its ergonomic cut and naturally lightweight kapok filling, the jacket remains comfortable for all-day wear. It provides unrestricted arm movement, making it a smart option for rowing, casting, sailing, and onboard duties.

In terms of safety, comfort, and longevity, the GDR 003 “KAPOK” 150 Newton “Zipper” Life Jacket delivers outstanding value. Whether outfitting a commercial crew or preparing for family offshore adventures, it’s a solid investment in reliable marine protection.
