Seachoice 85660 Type V Inflatable PFD Man/Auto - Canada Only - Camouflage

The Seachoice 85660 Type V Inflatable PFD is a lightweight, low-profile personal flotation device designed for recreational boating in Canada. This manual/automatic inflatable model features a 33-gram CO₂ cylinder with a Halkey Roberts inflation mechanism that automatically inflates upon immersion in water or can be manually activated by pulling the inflation handle. Its camouflage finish makes it a popular choice for anglers, hunters and boaters who prefer a more discreet appearance while maintaining Transport Canada and U.S. Coast Guard approval. The slim profile provides excellent freedom of movement and is comfortable to wear over light clothing or foul-weather gear.
