The HERO Inflatable Rash Guard…The Life It Saves Could Be Yours

No more bulky swim wear! Invest in a swim shirt the whole family will want to wear.

HERO Rash Guard Features: 

Three Ways to Inflate:  For activities based around water, you can use auto inflation. If you find yourself in trouble pull the red toggle to inflate via the CO2 cartridge or orally inflate it. The CO2 cartridge must be replaced after each use.  

Sun Protection:  The light reflective branding makes wearers easier to find in low light. The Rash Guard is 50+ SPF, protecting wearers from the damaging effects of the sun.

Temperature Regulation: The double lined Rash Guard has a 220 Denier inflation chamber which helps stabilize body temperature in cooler waters, while the comfortably lined zip can be partially unzipped to allow for cooling water circulation in warmer circumstances.

How do you inflate the shirt?
Before inflating your HERO make sure the correct size CO2 cartridge is installed. The shirt is inflated by pulling down sharply on the toggle. If your shirt has been inflated make sure you replace the cartridge so it is ready for use next time.

Can I wear my HERO shirt inflated?
HERO shirts can be worn as a normal rash guard or inflated.  

Can I inflate the HERO shirt and add more air through the oral tube?
If you have activated the inflation of your HERO shirt via the CO2 cartridge and feel it needs more air you can blow into the oral inflation tube to “top up” the inflation chamber if required. 

Can I partially inflate my HERO Rash Guard?
HERO Rash Guards can be partially inflated. This can be very useful when learning to swim, snorkeling, surfing, water skiing etc. If your Hero is partially inflated you should not activate the CO2 cartridge at the same time as the extra volume in the inflation chamber could damage the chamber.
