The inflated life preserver is a torso ring fitted around the vest, positioned below the arms, front lower chest and around the upper back. It is designed to be used only while attached to the Flight Commander Helicopter Passenger Transportation Suit, and should never be used alone. When inflated, the cell supports the head and keeps the upper torso out of the water enhancing protection against hypothermia, and lessens the negative effect on core temperature. The life preserver is inflated by using two separately operated carbon dioxide gas auto-inflation systems.

Spray Hood
A removable spray hood has been added to the life preserver. The spray hood features retro-reflective tape, a large window, and has been tested to meet the CO² requirements of CAN/CGSB 65.16-2005. The spray hood is stowed on the back of the life preserver and can be easily deployed by the user.
