X-Back Basic - Constant-Wear Life Vest
Learn more about Switlik Signatures → |
We have expanded our successful X-Back life vest line to include the new X-Back Basic. The X-Back Basic incorporates the same fit, adjustment and overall comfort users have come to expect from the Switlik X-Back, with the addition of two permanently attached all-in-one pockets in lieu place of the MOLLE vest attachment loops. This new vest is intended to be a modern version of SWITLIK’s previous HV-35 Helicopter Vest. This vest is for users who do not need the MOLLE system and all its accessories. The pockets attached to the vest are intended to fit your essentials “keys, phone, sunglasses & wallet” (and yes, the newest smart phones will fit!)
Switlik TBO Recommendation:
Switlik Constant Wear life vests are sold with a recommended 2-year TBO. The vest should be inspected, tested, repaired, and recertified by an Authorized Service Center in accordance with the latest revision of the CMM every two years from the date of manufacture.
For inspection and repair services, you may locate an Authorized Service Center by visiting our Dealer Locator and clicking the “FAA Life Vest Service” box. Each Service Center is independently owned and operated, so you should contact each to confirm price, capability and lead time.
