Concentrate fully on your trip – you'll have the right equipment with you.

  • Buy life jackets at awn

    Whether motorboating, sailing, canoeing, or paddling, a life jacket is an essential part of boating equipment. While life jackets aren't mandatory everywhere, a functioning individual rescue device or a collective rescue device such as a life raft must be available on board for everyone. Life jackets are often the preferred choice. In the awn online shop, you'll find a wide selection of life jackets for adults and children to ensure the entire crew stays safe on the water.

  • How life jackets work

    Life jackets are often equipped with a collar that automatically turns the person onto their back in the water. This stabilizes the head and allows breathing even if they faint. Thanks to their high buoyancy, life jackets effectively protect against drowning. A life jacket is especially essential for non-swimmers on boats. It is worn over clothing and should fit tightly to ensure maximum protection. In addition, a life jacket provides additional protection against the cold and facilitates rescue by rescuers.

  • Life jackets automatic or solid

    In the awn online shop, you'll find both automatic and solid life jackets. Automatic life jackets have a mechanism that inflates the buoyancy chambers with gas, allowing the swimmer to float safely on the water. They impress with their slim design, allowing for great freedom of movement, and compact storage. Solid life jackets, on the other hand, are more cost-effective and require little maintenance, making them particularly suitable for occasional users.

  • Dog life jackets

    More and more boat owners are taking their pets with them on trips. Awn offers high-quality dog ​​life jackets for these situations. These vests feature a practical back loop for quickly lifting your four-legged friend out of the water in an emergency. This ensures that dogs are safe on the high seas.

  • Life jackets for children

    A child's life jacket must be perfectly tailored to the child's size and weight. To ensure children's visibility in the water, life jackets are designed in bright colors. Solid life jackets are particularly suitable for children because they offer reliable protection. Additional features such as whistles increase safety by allowing children to draw attention to themselves in an emergency.

  • Lifejacket accessories & lifejacket maintenance

    In addition to life jackets, awn offers a wide range of life jacket accessories, including lifelines and safety harnesses. Lifelines feature snap hooks that can be easily attached to the life jacket and the boat. They provide additional safety, especially in rough seas or when working on deck.
    To ensure safety, life jackets should be serviced regularly. Their maximum lifespan is approximately ten years, provided they are inspected every two years. After the ten-year period, annual service is required. Signs such as cracks, discoloration, or reduced buoyancy due to exposure to sunlight can impair functionality. Be sure to have unsafe life jackets inspected by professionals.

    Note: Defective life jackets pose a significant risk in an emergency. Make sure your life jacket is in perfect condition.
