Orion

Be seen in an emergency

Visual distress signals are required safety gear and can save your life, and Orion is the trusted name in them. The line covers handheld and aerial flares, signal kits that bundle the required signals in a ready-to-go package, and other visual distress signals like signal mirrors and flags. Carried aboard, these signals let you call for help and be seen by rescuers in an emergency, day or night. Most boats are legally required to carry approved visual distress signals, and Orion makes meeting that requirement, and being prepared, simple. For any boater, a current Orion signal kit is essential safety equipment.

Choosing the right signals comes down to your boating and the rules. A complete signal kit is the easy way to meet Coast Guard visual distress signal requirements for your waters, bundling handheld and aerial flares. Confirm the kit meets the requirements for your boat and where you boat, including day and night signals. Flares have expiration dates, so check and replace expired signals to stay legal and ready. Store them in a dry, accessible spot. Review the product details and the requirements before buying. With Orion distress signals aboard, you are prepared and visible in an emergency.
