Seago Rapid Life Jacket Manual/Harness Navy

Seago has rethought the lifejacket from the ground up with the Rapid range — and the result is one of the most intuitive, confidence-inspiring jackets on the market. The 190N Rapid Manual is a manually inflating lifejacket with an integrated harness point, designed for coastal and offshore sailing where reliable protection and conscious, deliberate inflation are preferred. Every element has been engineered to reduce complexity, speed up donning and ensure a correct fit — because in an emergency, simplicity saves lives.

The Rapid Buckle

Donning a lifejacket in an emergency needs to be fast and instinctive. The Rapid Buckle is a newly engineered single-point fastening system that clicks together with a guided locking profile, naturally aligning as the two halves come together — no fumbling, no misalignment, no second guessing. The oversized release tab allows quick removal even with cold hands or gloves, and the low-profile shape reduces snagging and improves all-day comfort.

Rapid Adjustment System

Getting a correct fit matters as much as getting the jacket on quickly. The Rapid Adjustment System uses an integrated strap layout that pulls, positions and settles into place in seconds without twisting or bunching — delivering a reliable, customised fit across a wide range of body shapes. One of the quickest and most user-friendly fitting experiences on the market.

Integrated Harness Point

Every jacket in the Rapid range includes a soft integrated D-ring harness point as standard, allowing direct attachment to a safety line whenever conditions demand it. No separate harness required, no confusing options to navigate — just dependable tether-ready security built into every model.

S-Design Lung

At the heart of the Rapid 190N is Seago's S-Design Lung — a uniquely engineered inflatable bladder with an S-shaped channel running between twin buoyancy chambers. This intelligent shaping redirects water away from the wearer's face immediately after inflation, improving airway protection and face-up stability in choppy or challenging conditions.

Cylinder Safe

The CO₂ cylinder is secured by Seago's Cylinder Safe locking mechanism — a reinforced locking band that clamps the cylinder firmly to the firing head, preventing loosening through movement, vibration or repeated handling. Clear visual confirmation of correct installation makes routine checks straightforward and reliable.
