The Onyx A/M-24 is a lightweight, low-profile inflatable life vest that can be deployed automatically upon water immersion or manually by pulling a cord. The vest is U.S. Coast Guard approved for adults and is designed for comfortable use during a variety of water activities.
Key features
- Automatic and manual inflation: The vest can be set to automatically inflate when immersed in water. It also includes a "Jerk to Inflate" handle for manual inflation and a backup oral inflation tube.
- Convertible inflation: The A/M-24 can be converted to manual-only inflation mode. This feature is useful for activities like kayaking or fly-fishing, where the wearer might get wet but does not want the vest to inflate automatically.
- Universal adult size: It is designed to fit adults weighing over 80 lbs, with a chest size between 30 and 52 inches.
- Comfortable design: The vest's low-profile construction and soft neoprene neckline are designed to provide comfort for all-day wear and allow for a full range of motion.
- Durable materials: The cover is constructed from a durable nylon ripstop fabric that resists tears and punctures.
- USCG approved: The vest is a U.S. Coast Guard-approved Type V life jacket with Type III performance. Note that it is not recommended for non-swimmers or weak swimmers.

Rearmable: After inflation, the vest is reusable by replacing the CO2 cartridge. The correct rearming kit is typically the Onyx #1352.
