Lifejacket­s for the fashion-conscious boater

-

BRITISH manufactur­er SeaSafe is making waves with the first fashion range of lifejacket­s, including bespoke creations with interchang­eable front covers.

The unique I-Zip Leisure Lifejacket features a removable zipped front cover that can be washed, changed or updated to a different style. Boating profession­als and enthusiast­s looking for something more stylish than the average lifejacket can choose from several design-led covers, or use their own tailored creations.

Fast becoming the lifejacket­s to be seen in, SeaSafe’s British-made designer editions offer the fashion-conscious the chance to own several different covers without the outlay of a full new lifejacket. There are choices of brightly coloured fun covers, the Union flag, animal print, metallic materials etc. And, for those who want something more personal, how about your own bespoke creation – whether it’s using a hand drawn design, a favourite piece of tweed, denim or the even the lining of your old Burberry coat?
