It hasn't gone off, just a routine check, but now you mention it there was supposed to be a free re-arm kit with the set, now where the hell did I put it...

Dave, useful tips but be aware that oral inflation of a life jacket for testing purposes brings with it its own problems. By blowing into it you are putting moisture from your breath inside the lifejacket's lung. There is a risk that over time this moisture can damage the lung.

I believe the new Hammar jackets/re-arming kits have the cylinder glued in to stop them working loose.
