Optimist buoyancy bag 48 liter – pink

Description

These Optimist buoyancy bags are made of polyurethane-coated nylon and are about half the weight and significantly stronger than buoyancy bags made of PVC or PVC-coated nylon. Some bags are available with a twist-lock tube valve. This valve is attached to a piece of tubing. With this valve, the bag can be easily and quickly inflated and deflated. 48-litre bags are slightly heavier than 43-litre bags, but after a capsize, there is a lot less water in the boat.

• Valve type: twist-lock tube valve
• Colour: pink
• Content: 48 litres
• Size inflated: 29 cm x 92 cm
• Size deflated: 44 cm x 98 cm
• Radius: 5 cm

Please note, do not over-inflate the Optimist buoyancy bags. When bags are properly filled, they will be soft to the touch. Over-inflated bags may burst when heated up by the sun or rising temperatures. Make sure there are no sharp points in your boat that would snag or puncture the buoyancy bags.
