Floatee anti-drowning shirt: enjoy the water safely
Drowning is one of the main risks associated with activities at sea, on lakes and in swimming pools, and can affect children, adults and older people. Floatee was created to offer a practical solution through a garment that combines safety with freedom of movement. The Floatee anti-drowning shirt is patented, ISO-certified and Made in France and contains a buoyancy system within a discreet, comfortable design. Depending on the model, it can provide buoyancy of more than 100N and may feature automatic activation in water. The garment also incorporates UPF 50+sun protection, certified Oeko-Tex® fabrics and a reusable system with dedicated replacement cartridges. Floatee retains the look of a technical shirt, with the safety device built in and ready to activate when needed.
Children's anti-drowning shirt
Protection even for those who cannot swim
The version for children aged 1 to 6 years, weighing between 10 and 25 kg, is a Category III Personal Protective Equipment designed to activate automatically if the child accidentally falls into the water. The Floatee anti-drowning shirt activates in less than 3 seconds on contact with water, triggering the flotation device. Once inflated, it is designed to help keep the airways above water regardless of the position assumed during the fall.
The child version is certified to ISO 12402-5 and provides actual buoyancy of over 100N. For smaller children, the 0–3 years, under 15 kgmodel is also available, certified to ISO 12402-4. This configuration includes a patented anti-slip-out system that eliminates the traditional crotch strap and helps keep the device correctly positioned. The system is designed to enable rescue in under 5 seconds, providing a specific solution for a particularly vulnerable age group.
Lifejackets for children and adults
Smart safety for every experience on the water
The Floatee range for teenagers and adults, from 40 kg, is ISO 12402-5 certified and is available with automatic or manual activation. The automatic version is intended for those who want protection that activates by itself in the event of an accidental fall into the water, without requiring direct intervention by the user.
The manual version is instead designed for people who take part in sports or recreational activities on the water and prefer to decide when to activate the buoyancy system. This distinction makes it possible to choose the solution best suited to the user’s experience and the type of activity. In both cases, the Floatee anti-drowning shirt is designed to incorporate the safety device without restricting normal movement.
Why choose Floatee
Floatee is a patented anti-drowning shirt that combines several water-safety features in a single garment. The patented technology is paired with ISO 12402-4 and ISO 12402-5certifications, depending on the model, while the versions for children are classified as Category III PPE. Buoyancy can reach and exceed 100N, with systems designed to activate automatically in under 3 seconds and help keep the airway above the water. The 0–3 years version also incorporates a patented anti-slip-out system, designed to eliminate the need for a crotch strap. These features are complemented by UPF 50+ sun protection, Oeko-Tex®-certified fabrics, reusability through dedicated refills, an ergonomic design and production in France. The aim is to integrate protection directly into a garment that is easy to wear, while keeping the system ready to activate when needed.
Comfort and design of the anti-drowning shirt
Designed to be worn all day
Floatee is designed to provide the fit and practicality of a technical shirt, integrating the device without turning it into a bulky item. Its ergonomic design promotes freedom of movement and allows the garment to be worn during activities near the water, offering a more natural feel than traditional devices.
The fabrics are lightweight, breathable and designed for contact with the skin, while the shirt structure keeps the buoyancy system discreet during normal use. In models intended for younger children, the absence of a crotch strap further enhances the garment’s practicality.
The Floatee anti-drowning shirt therefore combines dedicated safety technology with a design intended to support the user in different situations near the water. The different configurations make it possible to identify the model best suited to the user’s age, weight and intended use.
