I saw some of the Dublin team last weekend and the BUSA Champoinchips and some of them had very good looking buoyancy aids.

Please could some one give me the contact detials of the manufacturer.
Thanks

New Zealand has some awesome ones.

You should check them out if you are ordering for a whole team.
I think you can contact James on this forum!
They make them at the company he works for, they are really cool.

Hey,

I if you're after a photo, check out http://www.focusinnovation.co.nz/products_pfds.htm

You can order them on line, just go to the where to buy page, or you can email me directly - aidan@focusinnovation.co.nz

We got a set for our club team, the Vikings, and we're now into our second season with them now, you just can't beat them.

We can add team logos on request, and there's a good range of colours available.

Cheers,
Aidan :thumbup:

Do they have the CE mark for Europe? And what is the shipping like for price?

All Focus products purchased through the web are delivered free of charge anywhere in the world:twocents:

The jackets are currently with the CE testing body in the UK, although the certification does take a while to go through.

CE cert........is it really important for a polo BA? Or is this something they enforce in the UK?

It looks like these buoyancy aids are not reversible.
This may cause problems when both teams have the same colour. Which happens a lot.

You are correct, not reversible, but too cool and very comfortable and functional while playing. I believe NZ just used shirts over top if they had to change their color.

The CE mark is becoming important to all gear not just to polo stuff. If you read Clyde's polo page and the implications of insurance cover. It still ok but if a club is planning to buy stuff that will last awhile then most will pay attention to the CE mark if there is no real difference in cost between products.

Any chance that you managed to find the details of the company that made your buoyancy aid and the ones made in Germany?

Thanks
