The UK’s largest independent safety supplier, Ocean Safety, has carried out a detailed research and development programme to upgrade the specification of the company’s bestselling British built Kru lifejacket range.

 

Despite the huge success of the first generation Kru, there was still room for improvement and the used range of four models is now available featuring a number of improvements and refinements.

The new Kru range features the innovative Riverseal® high tenacity nylon fabric which boasts 25% increased tensile strength over competitors’ products and superior tear, puncture and abrasion resistance. Each model is also designed to be ready to accommodate a Kannad R10 AIS Safety Recovery System.

The Kru range has previously been worn by many people from the Volvo Ocean Race crews to the RSPCA and the individual yachtsmen. The design of the used range has been catalysed by the recent closure of Remploy’s lifejacket manufacturing facility, who previously built Ocean Safety’s jackets. “This closure has provided us with a great opportunity to review the Kru design, a result of listening to feedback from users and benefitting from the emergence of used technology and fabrics,” commented Ocean Safety’s Mark Hart.

The lifejacket range is now on sale, earning a well-deserved place in the evolution of life saving equipment and for which Ocean Safety will provide a continued servicing network.
