Onyx A/M-24 Automatic/Manual Inflatable PFD Life Jacket - Green

The Onyx A/M-24 Automatic/Manual Inflatable PFD Life Jacket in green is engineered for serious anglers, boaters, and water sports enthusiasts who demand reliable flotation in unpredictable conditions. After years on the water, you know that the best safety gear is the gear you'll actually wear—and this dual-mode inflatable design delivers the comfort of a lightweight vest combined with the proven buoyancy of modern PFD technology. Whether you're fishing offshore, cruising coastal waters, or running jet skis, this life jacket adapts to your style without compromising on Coast Guard compliance or peace of mind.

The A/M-24 features a switchable automatic/manual inflation system with a pull-cord manual backup, giving you control over how and when the vest deploys. In automatic mode, a CO₂ cartridge fires instantly on water immersion, providing buoyant force without any action required—critical when disorientation or injury limits your response time. Manual mode lets you conserve the automatic charge for a real emergency while using the pull-cord as needed, or inflate fully before departure for planned water activities. At just 1.25 lbs, this compact design won't weigh you down, and the forest green colorway blends into natural water environments while remaining visible enough for safety.

This PFD suits deck hands, tournament anglers, recreational boaters, and anyone operating small craft or engaging in water sports where traditional foam vests restrict movement or absorb water weight. The automatic function proves invaluable if you take an unexpected dunking at night or in rough seas when self-rescue isn't certain. Inspect the CO₂ cartridge and inflation bladder regularly, and always verify your vest is properly sized and secured before launching. The A/M-24 pairs seamlessly with any boating setup—kayaks, center consoles, jet skis, or sailboats—and meets all USCG standards for recreational use on inland and coastal waters.
