The Onyx A/M-24 Automatic/Manual Inflatable PFD Life Jacket is a versatile personal flotation device built for recreational boaters, anglers, and water sports enthusiasts who want reliable flotation without bulk. This U.S. Coast Guard–approved Type V PFD with Type III performance deploys automatically when submerged, triggering a CO2 cartridge to inflate the jacket within seconds. If you prefer manual control—or need a backup—you can switch to manual-only mode or pull the "Jerk to Inflate" handle anytime. A soft neoprene neckline keeps you comfortable during all-day wear, and the low-profile design won't restrict your movement on the water.
Built for durability, the A/M-24 features tough, tear- and puncture-resistant fabric that handles the bumps and snags of real boating. The jacket provides 22.5 lbs. of buoyancy when inflated, giving you dependable flotation in an emergency. Backup oral inflation lets you add air manually if needed, and the convertible inflation system means you can switch between automatic and manual-only deployment based on your conditions and comfort. The design is intentionally unobtrusive—you can wear it all day and forget it's there until the moment it might save your life.
Suitable for anglers, cruisers, recreational boaters, and anyone 16 years or older weighing over 80 lbs., this is a solid choice for calm to moderate water activities. The jacket is not recommended for non-swimmers or weak swimmers. When you need a replacement CO2 cartridge, Onyx offers the A/M-24 Rearming Kit #1352 (K320). Note: This product contains a CO2 cylinder and may have shipping restrictions to Alaska and Hawaii.
