FIRST VACUUM - SOLAS 160
SOLAS M.E.D. certified inflatable lifejacket vacuum-packed to provide a superior level of protection during onboard storage. The hermetic sealing protects the device from moisture, dust and salt, reducing deterioration and keeping it ready for use even after long periods of storage on board.
The compact structure facilitates stowage in dedicated spaces, while the ergonomic design allows simple and intuitive donning, ensuring comfort, reduced bulk and full freedom of movement.
MAIN FEATURES
- SOLAS M.E.D. certification
- Vacuum-packed
- Compact, reduced bulk
- Immediate opening in case of emergency
- Ergonomic and intuitive
- Maintains optimal conditions even after long storage periods
ADVANTAGES
- Longer material lifespan thanks to vacuum protection
- Faster distribution and donning during emergencies
- Lower risk of deterioration caused by the marine environment
- Up to 83% space saving on board (1 M-CUBE = 7 FIRST VACUUM 160N)
ACTIVATION SYSTEMS
The lifejacket integrates the following inflation activation modes:
- Automatic activation
In the event of a fall overboard, once submerged the system automatically activates the inflation of the buoyancy chamber within 5 seconds. Available with UML MK5 activator (water-soluble tablet) or HAMMAR MA1/EC (hydrostatic system).
- Oral inflation
As an emergency or complementary system, the buoyancy chamber can be inflated via the oral tube fitted with a non-return valve and protective cap.

The dual-compartment buoyancy chamber is designed to follow body ergonomics and optimise position in the water, guaranteeing immediate body rotation (Spin-Tilt) and keeping the airways clear of water. Even with the chamber inflated it is possible to swim easily to reach a safe place or board a life raft quickly.
VACUUM TECHNOLOGY
This technology has been developed and applied exclusively by Veleria San Giorgio to improve resistance to atmospheric agents and ensure greater durability over time. Tests carried out in accordance with international SOLAS standards (IMO Resolution MSC.200(80)) demonstrate the efficiency of the Vacuum System compared to other packaging systems.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
- Sprayhood (cod. 09145/SK)
- VSG Rescue ID – Recognition system with integrated radio-frequency programming and identification technology
