Switlik one man life raft proves to be a winner

Switlik Parachute Company, Inc. of Trenton, New Jersey, announced their success in delivering 500 of their Inflatable Single Place Life Raft (ISPLR) to the United States Coast Guard for their rescue aircrew and swimmers. Switlik has delivered another 300+ to the USCG Auxiliary as well.

The ISPLR has a fully reversible buoyancy tube and canopy system. The low slung floor enhances seating comfort and stability, while the pressure-relieving U-shape design adds functionality in high heat flight operations. The light weight ISPLR is now available to private and commercial aviators in high visibility yellow/orange. The raft can be packed in a low profile belt pack, a compact carry-on valise or vacuum packed for aircraft storage.

Switlik is well known for their inflatable life vest product line, including Helicopter Crew Vest and SPECOPS vest. Switlik is also a significant supplier of aircrew dry suits, life vests, rafts and other life support equipment to all branches of the military. Having served the safety and survival community since 1920, Switlik continues to be a major player with airline rafts and passenger life vests, as well as marine inflatable products.
