Southampton Boat Show 2017

TEAMO MARINE AT THE SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW 2017

TeamO Marine, the company which is disrupting the lifejacket and harness market with its revolutionary BackTow design is delighted to be attending the Southampton Boat Show this year, partnering with some of key stockists (Force 4, Andark and TCS) to bring the BackTow lifejacket and deck harness to the show for the first time.

BackTow designer and company co-founder Oscar Mead, and representatives from TeamO Marine, will be at the show every day on the Andark stand to demonstrate how BackTow Technology works and why this technological innovation is a life saver were you ever to actually need your tether to save your life.

The TeamO BackTow lifejacket was released in May 2017 after four years of development and testing, to address the growing concerns of the sailing community about the danger of going overboard whilst still tethered to a vessel. Existing lifejacket designs will tow the wearer face down in this situation, posing grave danger to life and making rescue difficult if the vessel is moving at any speed. The TeamO BackTow lifejacket solves these issues by rotating the user into a BackTow face-up position once the lifejacket has inflated and the large BackTow handle has been pulled.

Initial market reaction has been incredibly positive and TeamO BackTow lifejackets can now be found in twenty chandleries in the UK and is already distributed in five countries in Europe and Asia.

TeamO has further marine safety products in the works, come and meet the company and the designer at SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW

My 5 life jackets

Hi all. I first saw the life jackets on u tube a video by sailing uma I was impressed with what I seen so I got 2 limited addition thay are N170 black with pink piping this year. A couple of years later I bought 2 more gray/orange N170 for any crew members . The 5th one? I treated my self and got a blue/yellow piping N270 . I think it's important to have the best you can afford. I have look at other life jackets and what other people are using and they just don't seem adequate enough for me at the end of the day you as captain are responsible for your crew and what price do you put on life. I know I've got the best I can afford and giveing them the best chance of survival. So now I can say I've done my best to get the best I could afford and now I have 5 temo life jackets. PS you need to see the utube video on the life jackets I loved the part with the cup of tea.

Great Piece of Gear

I have purchased the lifejacket for a specific trip off-shore in the pacific, it has arrived in a short time. I must say I am very happy with the overall product, even in warm climates was very comfortable to wear and the materials seem very nice and sturdy.
I can only point out 2 elements that got me to rate it "only" 4 and not 5:
1. The light that comes inside the lifejacket was not exactly new. Manufactured in June 2021 with only 1/3 life left, expiry date June 2026.
2. I have purchased the lifejacket and had it shipped to Italy. As it arrived I had to pay about 25% of taxes on top for the import. I know this does not depend on TeamO but it would be nice to have mentioned on the site the possible additional costs related to importation in EU.

Great lifejacket

This life jacket is so light you barely know you even have it on. It is perfect for the dinghy, paddle boards and kayaks with the manual inflation.

Micro 170N Automatic - Very comfortable to wear

Glad to have come across the Micro 170N. With its minimal, light and comfortable fit, I almost forgot wearing it. Bought two for my wife and myself. Perfect choice for our inshore pleasure motorboating use. Exceptional accommodating personal customer service when I had some questions regarding trade and shipping to my country Norway. I strongly recommend the TeamO and their Micro 170N! :)

Awesome!
Super fast shipping from the UK to AUS
