The A/M-33 All Clear is an inflatable life jacket from Kent, approved by the U.S. Coast Guard as a Type V with Type II performance. It has a durable nylon ripstop cover and a YKK Quickburst zipper. It can be set up as automatic/manual or converted to manual-only inflation. The inflation chamber is hi-vis yellow with SOLAS grade reflective material. After use it is rearmed with the Kent rearming kit #1363.
Our take
The convertible inflation on this Kent jacket lets you run it as automatic/manual or switch to manual only, so you decide how much control you want over inflation. The SOLAS grade reflective material on the yellow chamber adds visibility in the water.
From our buying guide
US rules count Coast Guard-approved jackets. One approved only to European or ISO standards doesn't meet the US carriage rules, however good it is.
Check before you buy:
- The approval number is on the label, and the jacket fits you as that label marks.
- You're getting the US version, since some jackets are sold in two.
- If it's Level 50, it only counts toward what you must carry when it's worn.
