lifejackets

I've been remiss in not checking our lifejackets properly for nearly two years.... our RNLI seacheck of Saturday afternoon prompted me to bring them all home and check them properly, which i've just done....Both of the kids jackets needed new cylinders and firing kits.... neither would have inflated automatically, or even with a tug of the cord.... it doesn't really bear thinking about..... two new rearming kits at just £17 each...... the lifejackets themselves are fine....Thank you RNLI.... you might just have saved my kids lives.
