The new ErgoFit 290N lifejacket from Survitec's leading lifejacket brand, Crewsaver, redefines safety, comfort and performance standards for offshore and ocean sailing.

Crewsaver is a world-leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of high-performance Survival Technology with a history of bringing the latest lifejacket innovations to the market. The ErgoFit 290N combines the best features from across Crewsaver's acclaimed range to deliver a superior lifejacket with unrivalled airway protection and comfort.

The ErgoFit 290N is purpose-built for high performance and ultimate reliability, with zero compromises on wearer safety. Designed to be low-profile and highly functional, this lifejacket enhances comfort and usability, allowing sailors to stay focused on what matters: navigating the open water.

With a slightly longer cover design that reduces bulk, the ErgoFit 290N provides a comfortable, flexible fit across a wide range of body types. The wide-neck design accommodates high-collared hooded jackets, preventing any push against the back of the neck - even when wearing foul-weather gear. A low-profile, load-bearing front buckle ensures reliable harness use and features a quick-release mechanism, allowing the lifejacket to be easily donned, even when wearing gloves.

The lifejacket features Crewsaver's industry-first halo hood system, which, alongside the shape of the inflated bladder, significantly reduces the risk of water inhalation and heat loss. This double halo construction is specifically engineered to provide enhanced airway protection by creating a self-supporting spray hood that forms a spacious cavity above the wearer's face. The internal panel serves as an anti-glare shield to guard the wearer's eyes from the lifejacket light.

The ErgoFit 290N is fitted with Crewsaver's patented EXOLOK cylinder retention system for added protection. EXOLOK holds a lifejacket cylinder securely in position and clearly indicates if it moves, becomes unscrewed, or is tampered with.

Christopher Cox, General Manager - Crewsaver, said, "With the ErgoFit 290N, our goal was to set a new benchmark for lifejackets designed for open water. By integrating advanced airway protection, exceptional comfort, and ease of use, this lifejacket reflects our commitment to elevating safety standards, providing wearers with dependable performance they can trust in the most challenging conditions."

Crewsaver's commitment to user-centred design is demonstrated through every aspect of the ErgoFit 290N. With its elevated airway protection, integrated performance technology, and enhanced spray hood compatibility, this lifejacket supports safe and enjoyable sailing, whether offshore or during long-distance voyages.

Crewsaver's mission has always been to bring innovation and dependability to life-saving equipment. The ErgoFit 290N and the recently launched ErgoFit 190N are the latest embodiment of this dedication, providing cutting-edge technology for those who love life on the water.
