170N, 275N, lifejacket - November 26, 2019

What is the difference between a 170N and a 275N BackTow lifejacket?

People often ask us if they should make their lifejacket choice based on their body weight, but in reality it is more to do with the type of sailing you are planning.

Fluro Pink, lifejacket, lifejacket review - November 05, 2019

The Advantage of Small Business

Sometimes running a small business feels like a mammoth challenge. The competition are massive, we are tiny by comparison. But in the words of @davidhieatt, tiny is fast, and the world is changing fast, not slowly.Roughly 4 weeks ago at the Southampton Boat Show I had a conversation with a team mate about how we thought fluro pink was about to have a ‘moment’ in sailing fashion terms. Hugo Boss had just launched their new boat with it’s pink touches and some of the top race teams in the world have chosen it for their spinnakers and crew kit recently. I...

Yachting Monthly Recommends BackTow Lifejacket

Tested for comfort, inflation time, rotation time and in-water testing of the BackTow system, the Yachting Monthly team recommended the TeamO Lifejacket as one of their top 3 picks and commented: "The TeamO BackTow solution seemed the more sensible (option) to us, particularly for cruising sailors."

We threw Oscar in the pool again!

We had an email yesterday from a customer who wanted to see how the sprayhood functions on our BackTow lifejacket. 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. It operates for 8 hours continuously (unless switched off) and has a 5 year warranty- the whistle- the oral tube, for topping up the lifejacket if so desired- the sprayhood and how it...

Free Updated BackTow Handle for lifejackets No. TEO001-TEO250

As part of our regular testing and development at TeamO Marine we are constantly upgrading our designs to improve our products. We have recently discovered that in warm temperatures and under the application of extremely high loads some of our early generation BackTow jackets may accidentally deploy because of the increased flexibility of the release wire in warm temperatures. We have already rectified this on our latest jackets but we are offering a free handle upgrade and free service to any customer who owns a jacket with a production number between TEO001 and TEO250. You can check if your jacket...

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
