The comments of a commercial fishing boat skipper who lost a crew member in the Bass Strait:

“Tragic, unbelievable. I looked astern from the wheelhouse door and noticed he was trying to tell me something. I turned back into the wheelhouse to pull some revs off and went back out onto the deck.

I just couldn’t believe it. The deck was empty … 20 seconds is all it took and he was gone! We searched all night but we never found him. I was wearing a Stormy inflatable life jacket but the crew was not. No one will ever go to sea again on my boat without a Stormy”

The Stormy inflatable Personal Flotation Device (PFD) concept was developed out of sheer frustration at the loss of lives in the professional fishing industry because life jackets were not worn. All available life jacket styles were bulky and uncomfortable and impractical particularly for those working in life jackets all day.

The Stormy inflatable clothing concept changed all that. Comfortable, rugged clothing (jackets and vests) incorporating a CO2 activated inflation system, which can instantly transform that comfortable clothing into an Australian Standards, accredited (AS1512) Personal Flotation Device.

The Stormy slogan, “worn not stowed” highlights why Stormy inflatable life jackets save lives; they must be worn to work.

Be it work or recreation, fishing from an ocean-going vessel, a ‘tin dish’ or from the rocks, give yourself a second chance, wear a Stormy Inflatable Life Jacket.

To enhance your chances of rapid rescue, carry a strobe light, a good waterproof light and a Personal Locator Beacon or EPIRB.
