The SL-550 is an outstanding PFD. I use it offshore aboard my Tashiba 40. Pockets allow carrying a PLB, knife and LED light with attachment point to tie it all in. The SL-550 is comfortable and most important, unlike an inflatable, I can swim with it on if I have to. Salus needs to find a retailer in the USA to make this great product easily available to us south of the border.
Best I ever had! Gives lots of freedom of movement which is a must on a sailboat. I can hook up my two way radio on it, i use it to communicate with my wife when she’s up at the bow. No more looking for it! Thank you Salus! – Alain
