Restube Kids

Restube kids is suitable from the age of 10. It is important that the child understands that they have to pull the trigger themselves in order for the buoy to inflate.

We recommend that Restube is explained in detail and that a test release is carried out in shallow water. This is helpful so that the child understands the release process: how do I pull the trigger, how long does the buoy take to inflate, how do I lean safely and comfortably over the buoy, etc?

Restube does not have USCG (U.S. Coast Guard) certification and does not comply with DIN standards. Why is this so? At first glance it seems strange that a product like Restube does not fit into the standard. On the other hand, it is clear that real great innovations are not yet captured in a standard. What few people know is that there are many products that also do not conform to a standard and yet provide a great benefit: E.g. rescue harnesses or rescue buoys for water rescue or for example avalanche backpacks until 2019. For avalanche backpacks, only after more than 25 years on the market, a separate standard was developed by the avalanche backpack companies together with the standard committees.

 The basic requirement for a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is: the product provides protection from the hazard (in this case: protection from drowning) by putting it on alone. Restube was not developed for this purpose, but for very different application scenarios. Restube requires additional actions by the user, namely, the user must activate the cartridge's trigger and lean over the buoy.

 Restube, because it is not PPE by definition, cannot be approved as a life jacket. However, Restube was never intended to be a life jacket, but rather to be used wherever more freedom and other forms of buoyancy are needed. The system meets the highest quality standards and enables completely new fields of application.
