The workmanship is excellent, the attachment to the railing thanks to velcro easily. Cleanly processed and above all, the storage in a solid, dimensionally stable bag is well resolved. It can penetrate virtually no water and always stays clean and ready to hand. The best means of life is what you do not need but have at hand when needed.
Not used yet, and hope never to need it! Previous one I had had a gas canister to inflate the sling, requiring periodic maintenance. This one is solid foam so no working parts to maintain
Presumably, the collar has been unpacked before, the leash was completely twisted and pressed with loops in the designated pocket. In an emergency, this would have given a very big problem unraveling the leash.
as sold, the product cannot be used directly. First a hole is missing at the bottom to bring out the end. The existing hole does not allow its passage. Not wanting to pierce the envelope, I brought it out from above! On the other hand the end is rolled up on itself anyhow inside the envelope so that it cannot unroll if we throw the buoy into the sea. It took us 14 d time to untangle it and put it back in place correctly. Finally, the end has many flaws which, I hope, will not affect its strength.
