Onyx Re-Arm Kit f/A-24 In-Sight Automatic Inflatable Life Jackets

The Onyx Re-Arm Kit for A-24 In-Sight Automatic Inflatable Life Jackets provides the essential consumable components needed to restore full operational capability to Onyx A-24 model 3205 automatic inflatable PFDs after deployment. This re-arm kit includes a fresh 24-gram CO2 cylinder with bayonet connection and a replacement yellow water-soluble bobbin, the two critical elements that enable the jacket's automatic inflation mechanism to function reliably in water emergency scenarios.

The 24-gram CO2 charge delivers sufficient pressure to fully inflate the bladder chambers within seconds of water activation, a critical performance window for users in challenging conditions. The water-soluble bobbin serves as the deployment trigger—dissolving on contact with saltwater or freshwater to mechanically release the inflation mechanism. Onyx engineering ensures precise calibration between cartridge pressure and bobbin dissolution rate, maintaining consistent performance across temperature and salinity variables encountered in marine environments.

This re-arm kit is purpose-built for maritime professionals, commercial fishermen, recreational boaters, and tactical water operators who depend on automatic inflation life jackets for survival scenarios. Once a jacket has been deployed—whether through actual water immersion or training exercises—replacing both the CO2 cylinder and bobbin restores the device to factory specification. Users operating in saltwater environments or conducting regular training drills benefit from keeping replacement kits readily available to minimize downtime between deployments.

Onyx Outdoor designs its inflation components to strict marine safety standards. The bayonet-connection CO2 cylinder ensures secure seating within the inflation chamber, preventing accidental discharge during normal wear. Proper installation of both components maintains the jacket's ability to deploy within the critical 3–5 second window required for effective buoyancy in water emergencies.
