Manual vests – inflate only by pulling a lever

In the manual life jackets product group, you will find 165N-class life jackets that only inflate when the user pulls the trigger - the selection includes the Baltic Winner 165N in black and red and the Baltic Mako 165 Auto model. Unlike an automatic life jacket, a manual life jacket does not inflate by itself when falling into the water, but the user must consciously pull the trigger handle.

A manual life jacket is suitable for experienced boaters who want to control when the life jacket is inflated – this is useful, for example, in situations where you do not want the life jacket to inflate accidentally in heavy rain or when splashing water hits the life jacket, which could happen with a more sensitive automatic mechanism. On the other hand, a manual life jacket does not protect an unconscious person in the water, as inflation requires active action from the user.

The 165N rating is designed for Baltic Sea conditions, an offshore level rating that turns the user onto their back even when wearing heavy clothing. Check the maintenance interval of the vest and the condition of the propellant cartridge regularly – a used or expired cartridge will not fill the vest properly in an emergency.

Despite its name, the Baltic Mako 165 Auto model differs from the fully manual Winner model in that it can also be equipped with an automatic release mechanism if necessary – check the product-specific release method used by your chosen life jacket, as the model name alone does not always tell the whole truth about the release method. A manual life jacket also requires the user to be able to physically pull the release handle after falling into the water, which is worth considering especially when choosing a life jacket for children or those in poor condition.

The maintenance interval for a flak vest is typically once a year, when the inflation pressure and the condition of the trigger mechanism are checked at an authorized service center – neglected maintenance is one of the most common reasons why the vest does not inflate properly in an emergency. Store the vest in a dry place out of season, as prolonged moisture can damage the durability of the trigger cartridge and fabric.

Baltic is known for its reliability as a manufacturer of life jackets, and its manual models meet international ISO standards for their timing class – this is especially important if you are sailing in foreign waters where official approval of the jackets may be checked. Compare the manual and automatic models according to the experience level of your sailing group before choosing.

Both Baltic models are machine washable according to the manufacturer's instructions, which makes it easier to keep the vest clean after a long season of use.

Also choose the color of your vest for visibility — brighter shades improve visibility in the water much better than darker colors.
