We designed the Bovest Buoyancy Jacket over 10 years ago and since then hundreds of people have been using it on the water.
Water sports are an exciting but demanding hobby. During the learning process and later during independent sessions on the water, safety is the most important thing!
1. The BoVest safety shirt meets several important safety criteria:
- Provides additional buoyancy,
- Prevents hypothermia,
- It is light and comfortable to use - it does not restrict freedom of movement,
- Provides protection in the event of an impact, e.g. in a "catapult" situation (Impact Vest function)
- Improves the comfort of learning – e.g. when training for water start,
- Bright colours and reflective elements increase visibility on the water,
- The T-shirt protects against the harmful effects of UV rays ,
2. How is the BoVest safety shirt constructed?
The Bo Vest buoyancy shirt is an innovative product. It is made of lycra in which air chambers are attached. The method of inflation is made similarly to the kit's "one-pump" system.
The BoVest is filled with exhaled air, without using a pump.
The Lycra from which the shirt is made is resistant to salt water and UV rays. The shirt can be inflated both before going out into the water and during swimming. The kit valve allows for precise adjustment of the shirt's buoyancy.
3. How to choose a safety shirt for water sports?
Choosing the right BoVest buoyancy shirt is key to ensuring maximum safety. A perfectly fitting shirt should: not restrict movement, but not be too large, which could cause flapping in the wind.
We recommend choosing a larger size BoVest shirt than a regular T-shirt, remembering that the T-shirt is usually worn over a wetsuit. A BoVest shirt that is too tight will be uncomfortable, may block blood circulation and will be more susceptible to damage. See what size T-shirt fits you.
The clear design and bright colours ensure good recognition on the water.
4. Where to buy a safety shirt?
The Bo Vest is only available in specialist stores.
Before buying, it is worth reading the opinions of other users and trying out BoVest at the Test Center (Bo Sport, Chałupy 3 campsite, Hel Peninsula).
Personalization of a safety shirt
At the design stage it is possible to personalize the safety shirt.
Additional accessories
The shirt can be equipped with an approved whistle which is very important
during the rescue operation.
In summary, the Bo Vest can be an essential piece of equipment for any water sports enthusiast, ensuring not only safety but also comfort and style during every session on the water.
