The life preserver cover (see figure 29) is attached directly to the survival vest with an
interlocking (Dutch style) speed lacing loop system (see figure 4) and is easily removable. The
life preserver consists of two major components:
a. Inflatable Cell
b. Protective Container
The inflatable cell is attached to the Survival Vest at three points; one directly to the protective
container by means of a short speed lacing loop system at the rear. The other two direct
attachment points are where the webbing straps attach to the front lobes. The free end of the
Survival Vest anchor strap passes through the slots on the back side the protective cover and
through the inflatable cell grommets (1.0 inch (25 mm) plastic grommets RF bonded in place),
located at the lower points of the cell lobes. A ‘lift the dot’ snap is used to secure them in
place. The inflatable cell, when folded, is contained within the protective container by means of
a perimeter zipper closure system and a Velcro
patch located at the rear at the zipper ends.

INFLATABLE CELL
The inflatable cell is made from polyurethane coated nylon fabric and is yellow in colour. The
perimeter of the cell is sealed using radio frequency (RF) bonding.

the person wearing the LP/SV.
The inflatable cell comprises two independent chambers, front and rear, which are created by
the provision of a separate ply of unsupported polyurethane film between the outer panels of
