The Secumar Free100 50N Inflatable Life Jacket is an exceptionally compact and practical safety device for swimmers, stand-up paddleboarders and other water sports enthusiasts who want extra safety without having to wear a traditional life jacket. This model is worn as a waist belt and is barely noticeable, even when worn over swimwear, leaving the upper body completely free whilst moving in and around the water. In an emergency, you pull the buoyancy aid out of the compact pouch, pull it over your head and activate it manually using the CO2 cartridge. This transforms this inconspicuous belt into a fully-fledged inflatable life-saving device that quickly provides extra buoyancy and stability should fatigue, cramp or unexpected problems arise.

What makes the Free100 stand out is the combination of minimal hindrance and immediate usability. The model falls into the 50N class but provides 100N of buoyancy and is intended for use with light clothing. According to SECUMAR, it has been specifically developed as a backup safety solution for activities such as swimming and stand-up paddling, where comfort and freedom of movement are important. The design, featuring reflective bands, enhances visibility, whilst the system can be made ready for use again after deployment with a new CO2 cartridge. For water sports enthusiasts who do not wish to wear a bulky lifejacket but are looking for a smart additional safety reserve, this is a very well-thought-out choice.
