Description
Low profile neoprene buoyancy aid, specifically developed to fit snugly in all the right places. Unique to Rooster, this CE12402-5 certified buoyancy aid is an advance in our buoyancy aid range. Complemented by minimalist styling to match the maximum kit combinations. It is longer and thinner to be less bulky when worn – there is minimal adjustment to limit bulk, however the neoprene allows it to stretch to fit to your body size.
Warning:This is not an Impact Vest.
Although the foam panels will give some protection from knocks and falls, it is not certified to provide Impact protection. The race armour buoyancy aid is developed with sufficient buoyancy as per regulation EN ISO 12402-5:2020, Practice and training are required with this device before use. Teach the child to float in this buoyancy aid.
Please note: Since the UK exit from the EU, there are further Buoyancy Aid regulations that will come into play for the UK market from January 2023 onwards. All Rooster buoyancy aids are currently undergoing these tests to make sure that they align with both EN ISO 12402-5:2020 and the new UKCA Module B certification.

Snug fitting
I’ve not tested the buoyancy ( with a capsize drill) yet but it feels much more capable than my previous BA. Snug, warm fit with neoprene panels and no zips so you need to pull it over your head. This hasn’t been a problem so far (as I was only wearing a polypropylene top but I may need to wear my Aquafleece pro top over the race armour buoyancy. I ordered the suggested size for my weight and expect that the panel will ‘give’ a bit more with use. Very happy with this BA as wanted something that wouldn’t hinder me climbing back in after a capsize. Just 1 tiny comment - there are 2 very small pockets in the front: No space to store a between races snack bar etc.

Great Buoyancy Aid
Very comfortable and doesn't catch on the boom etc. Also good when getting back into the boat after a capsize, other buoyancy aids can hinder this.
