The 40l Drybag is very good quality, strong and well-made. The simple design to make it waterproof, and the carry strap are very effective.
I am a fit and active retiree but not a strong swimmer. One of my retirement goals has been to improve my swimming so I can swim safely at the beach and in open-water settings. I’ve been swimming regularly at my local beach, but have been cautious about swimming out of my depth. So I decided to trial a Restube swim buoy, and it has been a game changer for me. I feel more confident about swimming out past the breaking waves to calmer water, as I can rest when I need to without the anxiety of keeping myself afloat when I’m tired.
The cord is a good length, and the swim buoy generally floats behind without getting in the way. It is quick and easy to inflate and deflate and the material seems strong and tear-resistant. The dry bag compartment works well, although I do put my phone in a zip lock bag first as recommended. My only complaint is that the inflation valve cap comes off easily, and it would be good to make the ring attachment and/or the cap more secure. Otherwise I am very happy with my Restube swim buoy.
Did a test run. All worked to plan so good to have spare cartridges in case I activate it again.
I purchased the waterproof phone case. It is great - can use touch screen through the case! I love it
Feel so much safer knowing l have the resttube with me out in the open warter
The product seems OK (can't test it without destroying the gas cylinder it came with) but Restube Australia is uncontactable. The video installation instructions for the gas cylinder are contradictory on the Restube.com website vs the written instructions in the package. You can't get clarification of this as Restube Australia will not respond.
I think it is a great idea. I hope myself and kids never have to use it but it brings peace of mind to me knowing my kids have extra protection when swimming. I think it will also build their confidence in the water knowing it is there in an emergency.
This system is so user friendly and such a great piece of equipment to take swimming, rock fishing or for any water activity. I bought the Restube active and replacement cartridges. It’s so easy to set up, use, exchange used cartridges and so compact, doesn’t get in the way when you are swimming. I highly recommend the purchase of the product if you are a regular water activity person, it’s the best money you’ll ever spend!
I take the Restube active on every ocean swim I do. It’s a user friendly system, it’s compact, you don’t even know you are swimming with it. I highly recommend buying one if you a regular open water swimmer or rock fisherman. Money well spent!
Haven’t deployed it, but it reassures me during group ocean swims that if anything happens I can inflate it and use it. It small and compact and doesn’t affect my swimming. Love it!!
LOVE IT GIVES ME PEACE OF MIND WHEN I AM OPEN WATER SWIMMING ON MY OWN
I am glad to have these for myself and my son for the cold Northern California oceans. We love to be in the waves, but the currents can be unpredictable. This is an unobtrusive extra layer of improvised flotation if needed.
placed order in December and no response from support on where it is.
Fantastic product arrived quickly. I am disabled but still love to play in the surf so this is the perfect product to stop my carers having heartattacks.
I am placed my order 3 weeks ago and it still hasn’t left the factory.
Would love to tell Restube how I've experienced their product but I've yet to receive it, so that's my review. Odd to send a survey asking me this when they should know they haven't even delivered the purchased product
I wish I'd had a chance to use this before this review, so my review is based on the order, shipping and initial product receipt. Had a minor snafu with shipping out part of our order, but after sending an email noting this, there was instantly a new order "shipped" email and the missing item was in hand a few days later. Everything looks well made and exactly as described. Exceited to try this out.
Dieses Teil ist leider komplett unter dem Radar und ich dachte nicht, dass ich dieses unscheinbare, kleine Teil einmal brauchen würde.
Als ich allerdings beim Open Water Schwimmen über einen Steg aus dem Wasser steigen wollte, bin ich an der Boje hängen geblieben. Die Sollbruchstelle hat sofort ausgelöst, und ich war dankbar, dass ich nicht gestolpert bin. In diesem Sinn: kleines Teil, große Wirkung.
I use it at my lifevest and the small size makes it comfortable to do so.
Even useable if you need some light on board to find whatever you lost on your boat.
I was sceptic at the first time but it's really watersave.
Using the touchscreen works very well
Depending on your phone cover, maybe the buttons are a little bit hard to push.
Für mein Open Water Schwimmen ist diese Boje ein notwendiges Must Have. Sie hat mich schon oft im See sichtbar gemacht und nimmt Autoschlüssel und Handy mit auf den Trip.
Die Qualität ist so gut und die Boje so belastbar, dass ich eine zweite als Rucksack verwende.
Diese Boje finde ich genial, durchdacht und hilfreich.
This is the 2nd one I’ve bought and think it’s great. We frequently swim in the ocean and it gives me peace of mind having it on.
