The new interior cell folding technique combined with our open V-Neck design allows the Aviator to lay over your shoulders, relieving the pressure on your neck during those long flights.
Single Simple Activation
We have located our new beaded handle in the center of the vest, allowing for an easier approach for deployment. The breakaway safety feature eliminates the risk of snagging. The red handle also offers the best visibility in low light conditions.
