Is your new lifejacket ISO or Not?

Several lifejacket manufacturers now offer their top of the range jackets to meet ISO standards. Ocean Safety has recently reworked their range of KRU lifejackets to conform with ISO 9001:2000 certification and the Sport Pro, one of the best jackets we stock, has now been improved to this standard.

All of our stock is of the new ISO jacket, so if you buy a KRU Sport Pro jacket from us you can rest assured you will get the newer certified jacket.

But beware! Some of our competitors are still selling the OLD non-ISO jackets (at a reduced price) and not necessarily making it clear before purchase that they are not ISO certified.
