Description
Low profile neoprene buoyancy aid, specifically developed to fit snugly in all the right places. Unique to Rooster, this CE12402-5 level 50 certified buoyancy aid is an advance in our buoyancy aid range. Complemented by minimalist styling to match the maximum kit combinations. It is longer and thinner to be less bulky when worn – there is minimal adjustment to limit bulk, however the neoprene allows it to stretch to fit to your body size.
Warning:This is not an Impact Vest.
Although the foam panels will give some protection from knocks and falls, it is not certified to provide Impact protection. The race armour buoyancy aid is developed with sufficient buoyancy as per regulation EN ISO 12402-5:2020 level 50, Practice and training are required with this device before use. Teach the child to float in this buoyancy aid.
Please note: Since the UK exit from the EU, there are further Buoyancy Aid regulations that will come into play for the UK market from January 2023 onwards. All Rooster buoyancy aids are currently undergoing these tests to make sure that they align with both EN ISO 12402-5:2020 level 50 and the new UKCA Module B certification.

Reviews
- CSCarolyn S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoBrilliant
A great fit , I got the medium , took me a little while to get it on due to a bad shoulder but fits well and is very comfy to wear.
- LPLiz P.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoComfortable and compact
Love this close fit, soft touch buoyancy aid. Once on, I forget it’s there. No more sharp edges poking into my face as I look around. Plenty of foam padding to cushion the knocks and low cut around arms and neck give great manoever ability. Worth the money.
- JHJack H.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoVery comfortable.
The main reason I chose this buoyancy aid is because it is very flat/not bulky. I sail a laser so when the kicker is pulled on hard there is a tendency for the boom to catch the buoyancy aid mid tack but not with this one! It’s also very comfortable and has no zips/straps that get caught. Had a small pocket but I put a dry bag on a rib so this isn’t an issue. If you sail a Laser, get it!
- NJNicola J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoGreat bit of kit.
Great bit of kit.
- NWNick W.Verified ReviewerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 month agoGreat for my ILCA sailing
The low profile (particularly at the top of the back) reduces the risk of getting stuck on the boom when taking in my ILCA 7. Comfortable with no straps getting in the way. Great for hot or cold conditions. Not a lot of space to fit things in the pockets but enough and the pockets have small loops inside for securing items if needed.
