I purchased a Fladen flotation suit to replace my old oil skins when boating. Unfortunately in the UK you can only get the blue and yellow ones, and I wanted a black one - you can only get these in Europe for some reason.
So I ordered a 845 XY - but they have sent the wrong one, so before I go through the hassle of sending it back - I thought I would see if anyone wanted it for what I paid - so I could then re-order the correct one.
I can only keep this open a few days as if no one wants it I need to return it.
Here is the spec;
One of the lightest flotation suits on the market. This is a very affordable one piece flotation suit that does not compromise safety.
The bouyancy requirements set by EN393 regs state that a suit of size XL must have a bouyancy of at least 50 newtons. The fladen suit has a bouyancy of 85 newtons, which means it exceeds the 'basic' standards by a considerable margin, making it safer than other competing products. This product, is also one of the few suits in the UK meeting ISO15027-1 which basically means it is an approved and tested immersion suit (i.e. will protect you from the cold of the water, as opposed to just keeping you afloat).
Specification:
Immersion suit standards ISO 15027-1 compliant
Flotation garment EN393 compliant
