• This lightweight self-inflating PFD provides 15.5 lbs. of flotation and meets U.S. Coast Guard requirements. (See Note below.)
• The compact, adjustable ripstop nylon waist pack stays out of your way for SUP or surfing.
• A simple tug on the cord instantly inflates the PFD with pressurized C02 gas.
• A 16 gram CO2 cartridge is included with the Zephyr. NRS CO2 Re-Arming Kit, Item # 40035.01, is sold separately. It's a good idea to have extra re-arming kits on hand.
• Unlike many other self-inflating life jackets, the flotation chamber stays around your waist.
• Simply rotate the belt until the chamber faces forward, pull the inflation cord and secure the attachment strap over your head.
• A manual mouth valve backs up the CO2-powered inflator.
• The bag's clear window lets you check the inflation system for readiness.
• This PFD carries the US Coast Guard Certification, through testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
• If you are flying with your Zepher Inflatable PFD, the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) says on their website, "You may bring a life vest with up to two CO2 cartridges inside, plus two spare cartridges in your carry-on or checked bag." Be aware that individual TSA agents may not have read that particular regulation.

Note: This 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 have to have the pouch secured around your waist for it to qualify as a required flotation device.
