Features & Benefits

  • This lightweight self-inflating PFD provides 22.5 lbs of flotation and only meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements as a Type III life jacket when worn (See note below)
  • The Matik folds compactly into a low-profile horse-collar style jacket to give you on-demand flotation that doesn't get in your way
  • When deflated, the vest secures with a waist buckle and offers one adjustment point for a snug fit
  • The Matik does not inflate automatically; in the event of a swim, pull the red tab to engage the pressurized CO2, inflating the integrated bladder
  • Features a zippered pocket with internal tether for keys or a whistle plus a manual backup cord, mouth inflation valve, reflective accents and two attachment points
  • Includes a 24 gram CO2 cartridge; Replacement CO2 Re-Arming Kits are sold separately
  • CO2 cartridges are one-time-use only; It's good practice to keep an extra CO2 cartridge on hand to re-arm the PFD after each inflation
  • The Green Arming Pin breaks when you pull the inflation cord to inflate the Matik
  • The intact Arming Pin serves as a visual sign that there's a full CO2 cylinder available when needed

Note: An inflatable PFD is certified by the US Coast Guard as a Type V PFD. However, it meets Coast Guard requirements for Type III PFDs when it is worn. In other words, you must be wearing the deflated collar for it to qualify as a required flotation device.
