TeamO worn by Sailing Uma for Atlantic Crossing
‘It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters, in the end’ We couldn’t agree more, so we’ve joined forces with Kika and Dan from Sailing Uma. They are currently crossing the Atlantic as part of their world tour and they have taken a couple of TeamO BackTow lifejackets with them to keep them safe on their journey.

What better way to show this than to throw our Head of Design in to the pool to show you in person?! Here Oscar shows you: - TeamO's patented BackTow system, where the handle is located on the lifejacket- SOLAS light, which switches on automatically once wet.
