Designed for a range of marine activities, the Minimalist is just that: Minimal! A tiny, lightweight, inflatable flotation device worn around the waist. Manually operated by pulling on the activation tab, the inflatable pillow is immediately released from the compact waist pouch and pulled over the head to support the user behind the neck. An approved flotation device Harmonized for USA and Canada, it's peace of mind knowing you have 15.7 lbs of buoyancy in your front pocket if you need it.
