What is an inflatable life jacket?
Inflatable life jackets rely on inflatable chambers that provide buoyancy when inflated using a CO2 cartridge or by oral inflation. They are comfortable, stylish, and designed to always wear while boating. For more information on inflatable life jackets, please visit the Wear It! website.

I want to participate, but I don’t want to waste a cartridge.
Thanks to the generous donations from iSi Components and Leland, Ltd., select sizes of cartridges will be available for your event! Please note that cartridges are used for demonstration purposes, and only a limited amount will be given. Please register your event so we can contact you about receiving free cartridges.
