For snorkeling, wear a rash guard and snorkeling vest (snorkeling life jacket) for complete safety!

If you're going into the sea or river, bring a rash guard and snorkeling vest. A rash guard protects your skin from the sun, jellyfish, and saltwater irritation. Wet skin is especially vulnerable, so wearing one is definitely beneficial!

Furthermore, having a snorkeling vest significantly increases safety for both children and adults when worn correctly. Even in sudden high waves or strong currents, a snorkeling vest makes it easier to float, increasing safety in emergencies.

Many people think, "I have a lifebuoy, so I'll be fine!" However, lifebuoys carry the risk of slipping and losing your grip in an emergency, or your body slipping out of the lifebuoy. Unlike lifebuoys, snorkeling vests distribute buoyancy evenly across the entire body, improving stability in the water and making swimming easier.

It's also great for swimming at the beach, so please consider it for your water leisure activities!

[Differences between Snorkeling Vests and Marine Life Jackets] Many people probably imagine a "life jacket" when thinking of vests to wear in the sea or rivers, right? Since February 2018, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has mandated the wearing of life jackets for all small vessel users, and products that meet the standards are given a "Sakura Mark." Therefore, if you search for "how to choose a life jacket," you'll often see mentions of whether or not it has a Sakura Mark. However, a life jacket is primarily a life vest, and ease of swimming is not considered. Therefore, for snorkeling, we recommend choosing a "snorkeling vest" that provides buoyancy while being designed for easy swimming.

Note that most snorkeling vests are designed for swimming and therefore do not have a "Sakura Mark." It's important to understand that the "Sakura Mark" is a standard for small vessels, and we recommend choosing a swimming-specific snorkeling vest for snorkeling.

【Features of the Snorkeling Vest】 REEFTOURER offers two types of snorkeling vests: the "Snorkeling Vest" with high buoyancy and the "Snorkeling Vest Slim," which prioritizes ease of swimming and a comfortable fit.

The product you are currently viewing is the "Snorkeling Vest." Compared to the "Snorkeling Vest Slim," it boasts superior buoyancy and is equipped with a whistle and crotch strap for enhanced safety.

The "Snorkeling Vest" is recommended for snorkeling beginners and young children. It offers maximum buoyancy without hindering swimming, allowing you to enjoy snorkeling and swimming with peace of mind.

A snorkeling life jacket that prioritizes safety over swimming comfort is unacceptable.

REEFTOURER's snorkeling vests prioritize ease of wear and a comfortable fit. For ease of wear, it features a zipper style that is easy for even young children to put on. Once the size is adjusted, putting it on and taking it off is as simple as zipping it up and down and fastening the crotch strap buckle. It's quick to put on, so you can go play right away, preventing your child from getting impatient and starting to play before putting it on.

Some people might worry that a zipper-type vest won't fit well. However, the REEFTOURER snorkeling vest has seven points of contact—two on the shoulders, two on each side (four in total), and a crotch strap—for an excellent fit. The crotch strap is also positioned diagonally to reduce discomfort.

When putting a snorkeling vest on a child, you might worry about it slipping off, but the crotch strap prevents this, providing peace of mind.

A whistle is also included as standard equipment, which can be used to signal your location in emergencies, such as being swept out to sea. Human voices don't carry as far as you might think, so having a whistle to blow in case of an emergency provides reassurance.

Furthermore, REEFTOURER snorkeling vests do not have buoyancy material in the shoulder area, either on the front or back, but instead use adjustable belts to ensure a better fit. Buoyancy material in the shoulder area tends to cause the vest to float, reducing the fit and making movement difficult. By placing buoyancy material only on the front and back, the vest prevents the shoulder area from floating, significantly improving ease of movement in the water.

Enjoy your summer leisure to the fullest by wearing a snorkeling vest that allows for safe, secure, and comfortable swimming! 【Snorkeling (Swimming) Life Jacket】 Many people associate vests worn in the sea or rivers with "life jackets," but did you know that "life jackets" and "snorkeling vests" are completely different? A "life jacket" is a "life vest" designed to protect lives in case of emergency, while a "snorkeling vest" is a "jacket that supports more comfortable swimming" during snorkeling and swimming. Of course, it has enough buoyancy to keep your body afloat, so you can rest assured in case of an emergency. A snorkeling vest is, in a sense, a "life jacket specifically for snorkeling (swimming)."

[Safe and Secure with Reliable Buoyancy] We have created a snorkeling vest that maintains maximum buoyancy while being suitable for swimming, so that even first-time snorkelers and children who are not good swimmers can use it with peace of mind. Generally, the buoyancy required for a body to float in water is said to be one-tenth of one's body weight. This means that a person weighing 20 kg can float with 2 kg of buoyancy. REEFTOURER snorkeling vests have a buoyancy of 3.4 kg for size S and 5.4 kg for size M. As an example, the average height of a 5-year-old boy in 2013 was 110.4 cm and the average weight was 18.9 kg. Based on his height, this would mean he could float with approximately 1.9 kg of buoyancy. The snorkeling vest in size S offers 3.4kg of buoyancy, providing ample support.

[Seven Fitting Buckles for Ease of Movement] Despite its high buoyancy, the vest features six fitting adjustment buckles to maintain ease of swimming. There are four buckles (two on each side of the body) and two on each shoulder. Adjusting these buckles is incredibly easy. Simply pull the belts after putting on the vest! Just tighten all six belts to ensure a snug fit. Furthermore, the vest uses a zipper for easy on and off, eliminating the need for complicated adjustments in just one step! You can put it on and swim whenever you want. While the high buoyancy might raise concerns about the vest floating in the water, the diagonally positioned crotch strap securely fastens it, preventing any issues. The snorkeling vest won't float and hinder your swimming. Additionally, the diagonal design reduces discomfort in the crotch area. This design allows you to enjoy snorkeling without worrying about the crotch strap.

[Includes a whistle for calling for help in emergencies] In emergencies, such as getting a cramp or being swept out to sea, it can be surprisingly difficult to call for help. Furthermore, voices can be easily drowned out by other noises. This snorkeling vest comes with a whistle, so in an emergency, simply blow the included whistle as hard as you can. The whistle's sound carries better than a human voice, allowing you to signal your location and provide peace of mind.

[Easier to swim in than a lifebuoy!] We've received feedback that it's "easier to swim in than a lifebuoy!" While lifebuoys are convenient because they can be easily put on and taken off in the sea, for long periods of swimming like snorkeling, a snorkeling vest that fits snugly to your body and allows for free movement is recommended! With a lifebuoy, there's a risk of slipping out, but with a snorkeling vest, if it's properly fitted, there's no need to worry. Furthermore, since you can wear it continuously, it helps prevent unexpected accidents. Choosing the right swimwear for playing in shallow water, or a snorkeling vest for serious swimming or snorkeling, will help you enjoy your time in the sea or river even more.
