Stormy Seas™
A
TRUE Story by the founder of Stormy Seas Inflatable Clothing Co.
In November 1982, a young fisherman working on the deck of a 100 ft.
crabber in the Bering Sea was washed overboard. The frigid water and
towering, breaking seas made his recovery difficult at best. Considering
that he was not wearing a life jacket or flotation at the time, his
recovery was perhaps a miracle.
That fisherman
is the developer and founder of Stormy Seas flotation products. The
commitment to quality and wearability forged by that icy glimpse of
death means that your choice of Stormy Seas as your personal, wearable,
lifejacket, is the very best choice you could make. Stormy Seas products
are made to perform well in the most difficult environment known to
man. They will perform just as well in a quiet cove, a still lake, or
the open ocean.
The key word is
wearability. Since the beginning, Stormy Seas has strived to place their
patented inflation system in the types of clothing that people actually
wear. Comfortable jackets and vests. It's a simple concept that works
extremely well, as evidenced by the many lives these garments have helped
to save.
If you are serious
about your personal safety, the safety of your family and crew, you've
come to the right place. We use only the very best materials in the
construction of Stormy Seas products. The inflatable chamber is made
of a 200 denier nylon which is then coated with urethane to make it
100% air holding. This is the same material that is used in the production
of lifevests for both civilian and military aviation. In fact the lifevest
under your seat on a commercial airliner is made from this same material.
All components such
as valves and cylinders are made from non-corrosive metals or (where
appropriate) high strength plastic and nylon. Stormy Seas products are
designed for prolonged use in salt water environments.
Since our beginning,
the only approval that we have ever pursued is the approval of the people
who use Stormy Seas products. The result of this simple, honest approach
is many, many satisfied customers which include the U.S. Forest Service,
U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, and many many more
