FAQs

What is the difference between a buoyancy aid and a lifejacket?

Buoyancy aids assist with floating, while lifejackets are designed to turn the wearer face-up in the water. Lifejackets are recommended for non-swimmers and rough water conditions.

Is the Baltic Lifejack Buoyancy Aid suitable for children?

Yes, but ensure the correct size is selected based on the child's weight and chest measurements. Always supervise children while they are in the water.

How do I clean my Baltic Lifejack Buoyancy Aid?

Rinse with fresh water after each use and allow to air dry. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash.

What is the warranty period?

The Baltic Lifejack Buoyancy Aid comes with a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Can I use the buoyancy aid in open ocean waters?

The buoyancy aid is designed for sheltered waters. It is not recommended for use in open ocean or rough water conditions.

How do I store the buoyancy aid?

Store the buoyancy aid in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat when not in use.

What should I do if the buoyancy aid gets damaged?

Discontinue use and contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair service.

Troubleshooting

The buoyancy aid feels too tight or too loose.

Check the size and adjust the waist band for a better fit. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider a different size.

The zip is difficult to close.

Ensure that the fabric is not caught in the zip. Lubricate the zip with a zipper lubricant if necessary.

The buoyancy aid shows signs of damage.

Discontinue use immediately and contact the manufacturer for a replacement or repair.
