Bluestorm Gear builds life vests with decades of life jacket experience. Find auto inflatable PFDs, belt packs, and foam fishing life jackets in a range of colors and sizes.

Inflatable or Foam

Bluestorm splits its line into inflatable and foam style vests. Auto inflatable PFDs like the Atmos 40 and Arcus 40 inflate on their own when they hit the water, giving low bulk wear that many boaters prefer for all day comfort. Manual and auto Type V models such as the Cirrus 26 let you choose how they trigger. Foam fishing life jackets offer simple, always ready flotation with no cartridge to maintain, which suits casual use and younger wearers.

Fit, Type, and Care

Match the vest to the wearer and the activity. Check the size range, such as S to M, and the US Coast Guard type printed on the vest to confirm it fits your boating. Inflatable models need the cylinder checked and the bobbin replaced on schedule to stay reliable, so read the rearm instructions. High visibility colors help others spot a person in the water, a smart choice for offshore and open water trips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between inflatable and foam vests?

Inflatable PFDs are low bulk and inflate when needed, offering all day comfort. Foam vests give simple always ready flotation with no cartridge to maintain.

What does auto inflatable mean?

An auto inflatable PFD inflates on its own when it hits the water. Some models, like the Cirrus 26, also offer a manual pull option.

Do inflatable vests need maintenance?

Yes. Check the CO2 cylinder and replace the bobbin on schedule per the rearm instructions so the vest inflates reliably when needed.

Why choose a high visibility color?

Hi-Vis colors make a person in the water easier to spot, which is a smart choice for offshore and open water boating.
