This 43-liter red Optimist buoyancy bag is crafted from polyurethane-coated nylon, making it much lighter and stronger than traditional PVC or PVC-coated bags. Equipped with a twist-lock tube valve, it allows for fast inflation and deflation. Compared to the 48-liter version, the 43-liter bag is slightly lighter, but still effectively reduces water in the boat after a capsize. Always ensure the bag is not overinflated, as this could cause it to burst under heat or pressure. It should feel soft when properly filled.
