Optimist 43L Buoyancy Bag with Twist Lock Tube - Red

The Optimist buoyancy bags from Optiparts are made of polyurethane-coated nylon and are about half the weight and significantly stronger than buoyancy bags made of PVC or PVC-coated nylon. Some Optimist buoyancy bags are available with a twist-lock tube valve. This valve is attached to a piece of tubing. With this valve, the bag can easily and quickly be inflated and deflated. 43 L bags are slightly heavier in buoyancy, but after a capsize, there is a lot less water in the boat.

Please Note

Not to overinflate the Optimist buoyancy bags. When bags are properly filled, they will be soft to the touch. Over-inflated bags may burst when heated up by the sun or rising temperatures. Make sure there are no sharp points in your boat that would snag or puncture the buoyancy bags.
