This life jacket is made with Cordura fabric, featuring an ITW Nexus buckle system and a Halkey Roberts release mechanism. It is equipped with a whistle, reflective tape, and a lifting strap. Additionally, it features a special fastening system that combines the buoyancy chamber and the outer cover without any external straps, providing greater safety in emergency situations. The outer fabric is highly durable.

SOLAS life jackets adhere to the European Union Directive 96/98/EC, which mandates the required equipment on ships within the EU. These regulations cover all types of personal life-saving appliances required on board EU ships. Life jackets of this type are approved according to SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) regulations and must be marked with the relevant approval, in this case, the wheelmark. SOLAS life jackets can save a person's life regardless of location and almost any weather conditions. Therefore, the tests these vests undergo are highly demanding, with a greater emphasis on their ability as life-saving devices rather than their aesthetic appearance.

SOLAS life jackets are not as comfortable as 100 Newton life jackets and are worn only when necessary. They are capable of keeping the wearer buoyant regardless of their size and the current weather conditions.
