Hutchwilco 150N Lifebelt Pouch – Compact Inflatable PFD

The Hutchwilco 150N Lifebelt Pouch is a compact and lightweight inflatable PFD (personal flotation device) designed for freedom of movement and discreet wear during water-based activities. Worn around the waist, the pouch deploys an inflatable bladder that provides 150 Newtons of buoyancy upon immersion or manual activation.

Certified to NZS 5823:2005, this PFD is ideal for kayakers, paddleboarders, anglers, and inshore boaties looking for safety without the bulk of a traditional life jacket. It features a UML automatic inflation system with manual override, and its low-profile design ensures you stay agile and comfortable on deck or on the water.
