good product in high quality. I like the safety device that prevents accidental opening. As a single-handed sailor I feel securely connected to my boat with these lifelines. Update I was informed by email in May that there is a recall campaign for the product. The four lifelines were sent to me in the marina in Slovenia quickly and free of charge after the serial number had been checked. VERY GOOD SERVICE!
Bought these lifebelts over a year ago. A few weeks ago, SVB issued a warning about a possible technical error. Production number entered - yes, my copies are affected - free replacement delivery here within approx. Three weeks abroad - it couldn't be better! Thank you, SVB!
Luckily not needed yet - hopefully an emergency will never arise - it's like an insurance policy that you have but don't need. When you have clicked in all three carabiners on the vest, the loop hangs down almost a meter - I would see a safety risk here from getting caught. But of course you can also put the belt next to you in the cockpit.
