The RESTUBE Swim is targeted toward open water swimmers and triathletes.  It is lighter in weight and includes an enhanced belt with an insert 'stick' that keeps the RESTUBE from moving around your waist from your back to your stomach.   

With a weight of just around 7.5 oz, it is the lightest and smallest Restube. Because of its compact size and its ultralight material, it is the choice for open water swimmers. With a buoyancy of the buoy is 75 N, it is suitable for all body sizes.

RESTUBE benefits:

• Option to blow up manually and easily to drag as a swim buoy in about 5 breaths. 
• Swim with confidence that floating RESTUBE is there in case you need it due to cramps, rough conditions, fatigue, or any sort of distress.
• Easy to pass off to another swimmer in distress.

The RESTUBE is NOT a Coast Guard approved life vest as it does not go over your head or wrap around you.  It will not help you if you are passed out.  It acts as a flotation swim buoy to rest on and easy to swim with.
