- Main buoyancy tube is divided into two separate, air holding compartment by two vertical bulkheads inside the tube.
- Total of four (4) independent air-holding compartments (two in the main buoyancy tube, the canopy arch, and the inflatable floor). Loss of pressure in one or more of the compartments will not cause the remaining compartments to drop below minimum design pressure.
- High pressure nitrogen inflation system for rapid cold weather inflation.
- Inflation system pressure gauge visible from outside of all packs for quick in-service checks.
- Cylinder inflation valve using puncture disc technology for long term leak resistance.
- Three (3) year recommended frequency of inspection.
