Lifejacket Accessories

Choose lifejacket accessories by compatibility with your specific lifejacket or PFD model, covering replacement parts, storage and everyday maintenance items.

Choosing the right lifejacket accessories

Lifejacket accessories cover replacement parts and add-ons for an existing lifejacket or PFD, rather than the lifejacket itself, so compatibility with your specific model matters more than general category fit. Common items include replacement buckles, straps, lights, whistles and storage bags.

Check the manufacturer and model of your current lifejacket before ordering replacement parts, since strap widths, buckle types and attachment points can vary between brands and styles.

Keeping lifejackets ready to use

If you are choosing a new lifejacket rather than accessories for an existing one, see the main lifejackets and PFDs range. For other on-board safety gear, compare EPIRBs and PLBs for emergency signalling, and wet weather gear for additional protection on deck.

  • Check the brand and model of your lifejacket before ordering replacement parts.
  • Replace straps, buckles or whistles showing wear rather than waiting for failure.
  • Use a dedicated storage bag to protect lifejackets from sun and moisture between trips.
  • Inspect inflation indicators and CO2 cartridges on inflatable PFDs as part of regular checks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use accessories from a different lifejacket brand?

Compatibility varies, so check strap width, buckle type and attachment points against your specific lifejacket model before ordering.

How often should lifejacket accessories be checked?

Check straps, buckles, whistles and inflation components regularly, especially before extended trips, and replace anything showing wear or damage.

Do I need a separate storage bag for my lifejacket?

A storage bag helps protect lifejackets from prolonged sun exposure and moisture, which can degrade fabric and webbing over time.
