They both are made to taste bad and have longer life but there are a lot more benefits to the New range of Rooster Rip Stop Buoyancy Aids.

Specifically designed by the rooster team for all dinghy sailors, because we understand how irritating it can be to 'catch' your buoyancy aid on the boom through a tack - often causing a capsize! Or how infuriating it is when you want to pull the kite up quicker than your opponent at the windward mark but fail because you have a poorly designed buoyancy aid... Not any more...

The New Improved Rooster Buoyancy Aids

Sits high on your chest to give freedom when hiking or trapezing, pulling kites up etc!!

This compact product has been designed for maximum comfort and freedom of movement. Both the shoulder and waist straps are highly adjustable to ensure that there is plenty of room for growth, providing a good fit for different body shapes. And now with even more benefits!
