Crewsaver Shield Buoyancy aid. It’s difficult to get passionate about a new buoyancy aid, but this one is a class apart as the best I have ever worn! Go shopping for buoyancy aids and you’ll find a huge choice. However, Crewsaver have one big advantage - they are renowned for producing top quality lifejackets, with a databank of knowledge to benefit their buoyancy aid designs. Is anything bad about the Shield? The Shield is great. First it’s really easy to slip on and off, with a quick-release side-buckle and adjustable main strap; the shoulders are also adjustable, but the length seemed fine to me. Probably most important, you hardly notice it’s on. I sailed a Lark and an A-Class cat two totally different boats and the Shield didn’t get in the way or catch. It’s got a maze of pockets including one specially designed for your ‘SAFETY KNIFE’ (marked in big letters!) with an anchor for the lanyard. 50N of buoyancy provided by the M/L size did a good enough job keeping me bobbing in the water without any tendency to ride up. The Shield is a trim fit and doesn’t have bits which are likely to trap and snare you — either in the boat or down in the water.
