Seago have rethought their lifejacket from the ground up with the Rapid range, resulting in one of the most intuitive, confidence-inspiring jackets on the market. The 190N Rapid is a fully automatic inflating lifejacket with an integrated harness point. It has been designed for coastal and offshore sailing where reliable, fast-deploying protection is non-negotiable. Every element has been engineered to reduce complexity, speed up donning and ensure a correct fit.
The Rapid Buckle is a newly engineered single-point fastening system that clicks together with a guided locking profile. It works by naturally aligning as the two halves come together, meaning no fumbling, no misalignment, no second guessing.
The oversized release tab allows quick removal even with cold hands or gloves, and the low-profile shape reduces snagging and improves all-day comfort.
Getting a correct fit matters as much as getting the jacket on quickly. The Rapid Adjustment System uses an integrated strap layout that pulls, positions and settles into place in seconds without twisting or bunching. Delivering a reliable, customised fit across a wide range of body shapes.
Every jacket in the Rapid range includes a soft integrated D-ring harness point as standard. No separate harness required, no confusing options to navigate just dependable tether-ready security built into every model.
At the heart of the Rapid 190N is Seago's S-Design Lung. This uniquely engineered inflatable bladder with an S-shaped channel running between twin buoyancy chambers. This intelligent shaping redirects water away from the wearer's face immediately after inflation. It helps to improve airway protection and face-up stability in choppy or challenging conditions.
The CO cylinder is secured by Seago's Cylinder Safe locking mechanism. This reinforced locking band that clamps the cylinder firmly to the firing head, preventing loosening through movement, vibration or repeated handling. Clear visual confirmation of correct installation makes routine checks straightforward and reliable.
