Imagine wearing a really tight dinner jacket. Then imagine putting a twenty-centimeter-long metal pipe with a diameter of 2 centimeters in the jacket’s breast pocket. How would that feel? Definitely not comfortable and it would probably also limit your movements. So, we developed Athena; the first ever inflatable lifejacket designed for women.
By placing the valve horizontally under the bust, the lifejacket gains a better fit and distributes the weight more evenly over the shoulders. Combined with good adjustment possibilities it results in a neat and flexible model regardless of body shape. Athena is also lightweight, easy to put on (you don’t have to thread it over your head) and easily closed with a padded velcro and buckle.
