Best fit & value – Legacy Vortex by Crewsaver
Designed by Legacy and manufactured by Crewsaver, this buoyancy aid is the perfect safety companion for a wide range of watersports. The combination of a high-cut, slimline profile and contoured superlight foam means it provides a great fit, with maximum comfort and mobility.
Best redesign of a classic – Typhoon Amrok
The Amrok is the updated and upgraded version of the best-selling Yalu; more comfortable foam, ergonomic design and an impressive, new safety buckle. Great for recreational users who want a simple, yet effective buoyancy aid.
Best for non-swimmers – TWF 100N Life Jacket
If you’re not confident in the water, it’s best to wear a lifejacket as it has a higher amount of buoyancy.
