The NKE Centre Zip Buoyancy Aid has a striking red platform with colour coded shoulder, waist webbing and bar-tacks reflecting the size clearly.
With an ergonomic secure fit & easy adjustment, it boasts legendary durability from its hard-wearing 500D Nylon Cordura® outer shell, YKK zip & environmentally friendly non-PVC Gaia® foam with strong bar-tack reinforcement at critical points.
Every single component has been chosen for its toughness and durability in a continuous hard-use environment.
Rigorously tried and tested in commercial environments & outdoor activity centres all over the globe. The NKE Centre Zip Buoyancy Aid has been in circulation for over 30 years. Exceptionally popular with outdoor activity providers because its colour coding makes it simple to find the correct size at a glance.
The front entry zip makes it easy to put on and take off. The padded shoulder adjustments are smooth and designed using a clever system - the webbing adjusts using one continuous length so the shoulder strap remains in place as a fail-safe back-up. The lower waist belt offers a 'contact fit' to the wearer and is easy to adjust with two pull-forward straps.
The NKE Centre Zip Buoyancy Aid is UKCA & CE (EU) ISO 12402-5:2020 approved.

Rinse all products thoroughly in clean fresh water after every use. Salt, bacteria, grit and sunscreen will degrade fabrics, seals and lines over time if left unchecked.
Air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. UV and extreme temperatures damage technical membranes, neoprene, latex seals and polypropylene. Never tumble dry, leave on a radiator, or dry in a car on a hot day.
Don't put products away damp — mould, mildew and delamination follow.
Store loosely in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, oils, fuels and chemicals. Don't compress or crease zips.
Keep zips clean, lubricated and straight. Never force or fold them sharply — zip damage is expensive and not covered by warranty.
Inspect regularly, especially load-bearing items like throwlines. Run rope through your hands before use and look for any wear, inconsistency or damage.
