Seago

Seago Life Jacket

Seago are a respected British marine equipment manufacturer with a solid reputation for quality, safety, and reliability. Founded in the early 2000s, the company was established with the goal of making maritime safety equipment more accessible to both recreational and professional sailors. Over the years, Seago have become synonymous with dependable products, particularly in the realm of life-saving gear, such as life jackets, life rafts, and harnesses.

Seago's origins are rooted in a desire to blend affordability with high standards of manufacturing. Unlike some of the more traditional heritage brands, Seago entered the market as a disruptor, offering equipment that met the stringent safety regulations required for offshore and coastal use, without imposing a premium price.

When it comes to life jackets, Seago offer a well-rounded and versatile selection, designed to cater to different types of marine activity, from inshore cruising to offshore. Their range falls into two major categories: automatic inflatable life jackets and manual inflatable life jackets.

At the heart of Seago’s inflatable life jacket range is the Seago Seaguard 165N and Active 190N Life Jackets, which are their most popular life jackets. These jackets are designed with comfort and safety in mind, particularly the Active 190 which has a 3D contour design offering exceptional freedom of movement. Seago have placed a particular focus on safety integration, and many of their life jackets come equipped with built-in harnesses, crotch straps, and lifting loops as standard. These are crucial features for offshore and commercial use, particularly in MOB (man overboard) scenarios where recovery time is vital. Some models even include spray hoods and SOLAS-approved reflective tapes for increased visibility in low-light conditions, as well as optional integrated PLBs (Personal Locator Beacons) or lights for additional safety.

The Seago 3Dynamic Life Jacket range deserves a special mention. These high-end life jackets are tailored for racing and high-performance sailing, boasting advanced ergonomic designs, high buoyancy, and lightweight construction. With a sleek profile and minimal interference with movement, they’re favoured by professionals and serious enthusiasts who need performance gear without compromise. The 3Dynamic also often features dual-firing mechanisms and advanced harness systems for added redundancy and strength under stress.

For leisure sailors, Seago offer a more economical but still highly reliable line of life jackets, often with simplified features but maintaining core safety standards. These models may not come with spray hoods or integrated harnesses, but they are ideal for day boating, inland water use, or family outings. Seago also produce a junior life jacket, namely the Waveguard 150N Pro Sensor Life Jacket which incorporates S-Desing lung technology which pushes water away from the wearers face.
