Keep your head above water with the Stearns® Deluxe Merchant Mate™ II Life Vest. Designed to prevent drowning by turning most unconscious wearers face up in the water, this non-reversible vest-style PFD combines the best of both comfort and performance. Two chest adjusters improve the flotation angle to turn wearers right-side-up and an opening on the back accommodates most brands of fall protection harnesses. Built with a heavy-duty 210 D nylon shell and Aquafoam™ Flotation Foam that provides 22 lbs. (98 Newtons) of buoyancy inside, staying afloat is easier. An encircling body belt and hinged back panel ensures the PFD stays on and moves with the body comfortably so you can wear it all day. An additional foam-filled collar offers better head support, while a shoulder mount flashlight patch and included US Coast Guard-approved whistle with pocket provide quick access to necessary tools. 3M™ Scotchlite™ SOLAS-grade reflective strips on the front and collar greatly enhance visibility, aiding search teams in the event of an accident.
