POD-8 - Inflatable Life Raft

• Designed for and used by the United States Coast Guard as their lightweight, air-droppable 8-person Search & Rescue life raft

• Designed to fit the stowage limitations of US Navy and US Coast Guard Search & Rescue helicopters. This raft is intended for static line air drop applications from helicopter or fixed wing aircraft.

• The POD-8 is constructed of an extra-large diameter (15in) tube. The flotation tube consists of two air holding chambers with internal sleeves which allow the raft to regain its original shape and buoyancy in the event of a puncture.

• As the key component to our best-in-class stability, the Toroidal Stability Device (TSD) features complete wrap-around ballasting covering the entire perimeter of the underside of the raft with multiple weighted, water-holding chamber. The TSD makes this raft nearly impossible to overturn in even some of the most severe sea conditions.
