It rides low on your waist, stays clear of your paddle stroke, and inflates with a pull of the cord when you need it. Type V approval with Type III performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you paddle board or kayak, you already know a bulky foam vest is the first thing you want to take off once you're out on the water. The Bombora Type V Inflatable Belt Pack fixes that. It's an ultra-slim belt that rides on your waist, weighs almost nothing, and stays out of the way of your paddle stroke. The Sunset colorway is part of Bombora's Fade Out Collection, inspired by paddling at dawn and dusk, right when the sun sits on the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the thing about a Type V belt pack. It's United States Coast Guard approved with Type III performance, but it has to be worn to count as legal. That's the tradeoff for the low profile. Keep it on your waist and you're covered. When you need it, you pull the cord, the 16 gram CO2 cylinder fires, and you get 16.5 pounds of design buoyancy. There's a secondary oral inflation tube too, and topping it off by mouth brings you up to 29.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits a wide range of paddlers. Approved for anyone 16 and older, and the belt adjusts to chest sizes from 30 all the way to 56 inches. There are D-ring attachment points on the pack for clipping on small gear, a whistle, a key float, whatever you like to keep close. And because it sits on your waist instead of over your shoulders, it doesn't chafe on a long day and it won't cook you on a hot afternoon the way a foam vest can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne important note. The belt pack doesn't come armed. The CO2 cylinder ships in the spare cylinder pocket inside the pack, and you'll need to arm it yourself before your first trip. Read the instructions and set it up properly. It's a quick job, but skipping it means the pack won't inflate when you pull the cord. Once it's armed, you're ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSCG approved Type V with Type III performance, must be worn on the water to be legal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16.5 lbs of design buoyancy from the 16 gram CO2 cylinder, up to 29.5 lbs with secondary oral inflation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual inflation, one pull of the cord fires the CO2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUltra-slim, lightweight belt design that stays clear of your paddle stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits chest sizes 30 to 56 inches, approved for users 16 and older\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eD-ring attachment points for small accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSunset colorway from Bombora's Fade Out Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Bombora reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this Coast Guard approved?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
