190 Black Harn RFD Marine Safety Equipment http://www.rfd.com.au/
The Crewsaver brand of jackets and PFDs is widely acknowledged as a world leading brand in terms of style and performance. RFD has recently been appointed the Australian distributor for Crewsaver and will be displaying the Crewfit 190N and Crewfit 290N models at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.

Both models are available as manual inflating or auto inflating. The Crewfit 190N is the ultimate recreational sports lifejacket, that not only provides unrivalled performance but is also stylish, lightweight, robust, and fits like a second skin. And being rated to 190 Newton it carries more buoyancy than the normal 150N rated PFDs in this category.

The Crewfit 290N has enhanced flotation capability for use in the most demanding environments when a wearer is loaded with foul weather gear and equipment. Both the Crewfit 190N and Crewfit 290N exceed the requirements of the International Standard, ISO 12402.

The Crewfit PFDs are designed and manufactured in the UK. These are superior quality products which raises the bar in terms of safety, performance, durability, style and comfort.

RFD is a world leading supplier of marine safety products and inflatable watercraft marketed under a range of brand names. Some of these brands include Crewsaver, Plastimo boating equipment, ACR lights, Kannad Marine and Comet pyrotechnics.

Since 1920, RFD has been primarily involved in the supply and service of marine, fire, life support and gas control equipment.
