the buoyancy cell
Inside each inflatable garment is a high-performance buoyancy cell. It is made from the same material as inflatable lifevests used by the military-a tough 200 denier nylon coated with urethane to make it 100% air-holding.

what does
35 lbs. of buoyance mean?
A device that provides 35 lbs. of buoyancy is capable of supporting 35 lbs. of a very dense material (iron, lead, gold, granite, etc.) - it will not allow the material to sink to the bottom. How can this help a large adult?

The average adult weighs approximately 10 lbs. in the water.
It works like this:

A 200 lb. person is approx 80% water	= 160 lbs.	(water has no weight in water)
A 200 lb. person is approx 15% fat	= 30 lbs.	(fat is lighter than water)
Actual weight of the person	= 200 lbs.
minus 160 lbs. water and 30 lbs. fat	- 190 lbs.
	10 lbs.

a simple trigger with 3 important features

1. The area that activates the inflation chamber looks like a pocket to conceal and protect the inflation hardware.
2. The pocket flap is secured with velcro to protect the inflation hardware from entanglement with lines, netting, brambles, or anything else that could cause the garment to inflate when not needed.
3. The pocket flap is the simple-to-use trigger. When you pull downward on the pocket, you detach the velcro-secured flap and activate the mechanism that inflates the buoyancy chamber. This movement is easy for even a gloved or groping hand.
