TeamO Marine Safety Products - Hi-Lift

BackTow was a pioneering development in harness technology when launched by TeamO in 2017. Unlike a conventional deck safety harness which drags a user face down when towing alongside a vessel, the BackTow harness can be released from the front of the jacket, turning the user in the water and towing them in a BackTow seated position alongside the vessel dramatically increasing survivability of a tethered MOB. 

Key features of the TeamO Hi-Lift lifejacket include:
Revolutionary Buoyancy Distribution: The Hi-Lift repositions buoyancy that is typically wasted above the waterline, redistributing it for optimal support in the water. The twisted bladder provides superb neck and head support whilst minimising the bulk over the shoulders ensuring improved mobility to assist in rescue. 

Industry-Leading Mouth Freeboard: This redistributed buoyancy dramatically increases the mouth freeboard* setting a new benchmark for lifejacket performance. With 60% higher mouth freeboard than competitors, the Hi-Lift offers unmatched safety, helping keep the user’s airway clear above water even in turbulent conditions.

Built-In BackTow Technology: Exclusive to TeamO, BackTow Technology provides an essential layer of safety for sailors finding themselves in conditions that require the use of a harness.  Once deployed, BackTow will rotate the wearer into a face up seated position buying the crew time to slow the vessel and effect a safe recovery.  For more information on BackTow see : TeamOMarine.com/BackTow

Comfort-Driven Design: Crafted with lightweight, ergonomic materials, the Hi-Lift ensures users feel comfortable and unrestricted, even during prolonged use.

Commitment to Sustainability: TeamO continues to drive increased sustainably in both design and production of its products, recently moving production to off grid facilities, powered by solar and with independent water filtration, TeamO is reducing its environmental impact while enhancing safety.

Oscar Mead, Designer & Product Manager for TeamO said: “Our mission at TeamO is to lead the industry with cutting edge technology to enhance customer safety. The Hi-Lift is a total re-think of Lifejacket bladder design, we really had to forget everything we thought we knew and start from scratch, but the results speak for themselves.”

TeamO lifejackets packed with Hi-Lift bladders will be available for purchase from the TeamO website (www.teamomarine.com) and at selected retailers from Spring 2025.  Please visit our stand - 01.532 and the DAME awards hall to see the Hi-Lift in person.

Hi-Lift re-thinks the way users are supported in the water. By re-distributing buoyancy usually wasted above the waterline, TeamO have managed to make a dramatic increase in mouth freeboard. This is the distance between the waters surface and corner of the mouth and is the definitive measurement of lifejacket performance. The new TeamO Hi-Lift floats the users mouth *60% higher than other market leading brands . Packed with TeamO’s BackTow Technology Hi-Lift is a leap forward in consumer safety.

What is BackTow? 
All conventional harnesses will tow you in a face down position with you legs pushed out behind you forcing your head underwater. With TeamO’s patented BackTow Technology, you clip on at the front as normal, but if you fall in the water, you can pull the BackTow handle and be rotated into a face up seated position,keeping airways clear and buying time for recovery. The moveable harness point is also an approved lifting point.

The Micro Lifejacket is exactly as the name suggests: micro small, with all of the great performance you can rely on in a TeamO designed lifejacket. 

Created for sailors who are looking for a lifejacket that is so unobtrusive that you forget you are wearing it. The Micro lifejacket has either automatic inflation or manual inflation options, making it suitable for day sailors, sports boat racers, to fishing sports, SUP Stand Up Paddle Boarders and anyone working on or around water.

TeamO 170N Micro Lifejacket

The TeamO BackTow is the only lifejacket harness which will tow the wearer face-up if they were to go overboard whilst tethered to a vessel.

Designed by a young British inventor in response to a high profile accident in the UK which then exposed a recurring problem with existing lifejacket harness designs, BackTow Technology has received multiple design awards and accolades from leading yachting publications since it's launch.
