Team O 170N Lifejacket Harness with BackTow™ Technology
The Team O 170N Lifejacket Harness is a versatile and high-performance safety solution designed for both inshore and offshore sailing. Certified to ISO12402-3, it offers reliable buoyancy and integrated safety features for recreational and professional sailors alike.
What sets this lifejacket apart is its patented BackTow™ Technology — the only system of its kind on the market. In a Man Overboard (MOB) situation where the wearer remains tethered to the vessel, BackTow allows them to manually activate a handle that repositions them into a face-up, seated position in the water. This ensures they are towed safely alongside the boat and significantly reduces the risk of injury during recovery. The BackTow strop also serves as a strong recovery point, enabling even a small crew member to assist with winch-based retrieval.
The lifejacket is available with two inflation options — ProSensor Elite, or Manual — allowing users to choose the system that best suits their sailing conditions. Additional safety features include a SOLAS-approved water-activated light, integrated sprayhood, whistle, and soft loop tether attachment. Designed for comfort and adjustability, it fits adult chest sizes from 68 cm to 144 cm, with double back adjusters for a secure fit.
