TeamO 170N Coastal BackTow Automatic Lifejacket
Revolutionary BackTow™ Safety Technology
The TeamO 170N Coastal Lifejacket is the world's only coastal lifejacket equipped with patented BackTow™ technology. Designed for shorter offshore sailing, coastal cruising, and overnight passages, this lifejacket addresses the critical danger of being towed face-down if you fall overboard while tethered to your vessel. Upon inflation, the wearer can activate the BackTow system to rotate into a safe, face-up seated position, keeping airways clear of water and allowing for a significantly safer recovery.

Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
Yes, this is a genuine TeamO product, manufactured in the UK to high international safety standards (ISO).
How does the BackTow system work in an emergency?
If you are in the water while tethered, you manually pull the large BackTow handle (on the right lung). This releases a mechanism that shifts the harness attachment point, causing the jacket to rotate you onto your back into a seated position.
Can I use this with a lifejacket light or sprayhood?
Yes, the TeamO Coastal 170N is compatible with standard SOLAS lights and can be fitted with a sprayhood for added offshore protection.
Note: 4boats.co.uk recommends checking the expiry date of the UML capsule annually. This lifejacket is intended for adult users over 40kg.
