Izeber jacket, an innovation signed by Tribord

 To improve safety at sea, Tribord has imagined a buoyancy aid… the Izeber jacket. Don’t be deceived by it’s urban style: this sleeveless jacket is actually highly innovative, offering thermal insulation and buoyancy equivalent to a 50 Newton life vest (Iso 12402-05 standard). This buoyancy is obtained thanks to strips of polyethylene, which have closed cells containing air and microbeads. A flexible and lightweight component that allows the Izeber jacket to guarantee comfort and freedom of movement when manoeuvring. It is reversible, with a neon orange side with built-in reflectors to ensure visibility when needed. Thanks to this signature Tribord innovation, yachtsmen are protected from wind and cold and free to move, without even realising that they are wearing a buoyancy aid.
