The Switlik Survival Products UA-80 eVolution Vest is a new piece of equipment for use in aquatic scenarios to provide a professional with a way to stay safe in the event of an emergency. The unit is designed to be worn across the body and will go to work inflating under the arm when required to offer up to 80-pounds of buoyancy in the water. The vest has flight crew and professional aviators in mind to help them stay safe as they perform their duties.

The Switlik Survival Products UA-80 eVolution Vest is equipped with a two-chamber inflatable air bladder and is available now for preorder for $795. The vest also features reflective patches to maximize visibility as well as a locator light.
