Gill Compressor Vest - The buoyancy aid of the future
by Simon Klima, Gill 28 Feb 2009 09:39 GMT
The Gill Compressor Vest is designed to be extremely low profile, minimising bulk and reducing windage. A traditional buoyancy vest is made from 2 pieces of foam, one at the front and one at the back. The compressor vest has thirteen individually shaped pieces of foam to ensure a snug fit. This ensures the vest is held securely to the body when in the water so that it provides the maximum amount of buoyancy.
Approved as a 50 Newton buoyancy aid, the low-profile, futuristically-designed vest is made from 3mm neoprene with a Lycra lining. Each foam section is ergonomically shaped and held firmly in place within the vest lining to ensure a close, comfortable and effective fit that moves with the body.
The compressor vest is available through Gill stockists and will be on sale at The RYA Volvo Dinghy Show on the 6th and 7th March on the following stands:
P&B
Andark
Welsh Harp
