GlobalFix™ V5 Cat 2 GPS AIS EPIRB with Return Link Service & Mobile AppThe ACR

GlobalFix V5 EPIRB combines 406 MHz satellite connectivity with Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality. This means that when the EPIRB is activated, not only does it transmit an emergency signal to the global Cospas Sarsat satellite rescue system, but it also broadcasts an AIS safety message on VHF frequencies that can be seen immediately by any AIS-equipped vessel nearby.

Other great features include Return Link Service (RLS) technology that provides visual confirmation to the user that their distress message has been received, a 121.5 MHz homing signal, and visible and infrared strobe lights for easy target identification at night or in poor visibility. Another feature is Near Field Communication (NFC), which allows users to monitor their EPIRB using a smartphone app.

ACR is the global leader in marine safety and rescue technology, and the GlobalFix V5 GPS EPIRB with AIS combines durability and reliability with advanced technology designed to speed rescue response time.  

RapidDitch Express Bag 

Be prepared for the unexpected with the RapidDitch Express Bag. This compact survival bag features pockets, tethers, and loops to conveniently organize and store all the essential safety gear in one practical place.

Made of water-resistant, reflective material, this bag is built to withstand the elements and make it easier for search and rescue teams to spot you during times of trouble. Plus, with its buoyant design, the RapidDitch Express will float with up to 15 pounds of gear, should it end up in the water.

The bag’s innovative shoulder strap unhooks and easily transforms into two (2) 4′ safety harnesses that can be clipped to a life jacket and used to keep everyone connected while in the water.

HemiLight™ 3 – Automatic Survivor Locator Light 

The ACR Auto HemiLight™3 flashing survival light attaches to almost any style of life jacket with a quick and easy installation. Smaller than other approved lights, the HemiLight™ 3 features rounded edges to maintain the integrity of inflatable life jackets. The attachment loop accommodates webbing up to 2″ (5 cm) in width. The tough marine design ensures years of useful service.

The HemiLight™ 3 offers a high-intensity flashing LED light that automatically activates for 20+ hours when it comes in contact with salt or fresh water.

Installation is quick and easy, as the HemiLight™ 3 can be retrofitted to almost any style of life jacket in a matter of seconds.

C-Strobe™ H20 

The LED C-Strobe™ H2O is either water or manually-activated personal distress strobe light with a dramatically improved operating life.

This waterproof light is tiny yet rugged and features a 45-lumen LED that typically operates for 120 hours continuously. The C-Strobe™ H2O is activated with contact with water or manually with an easy twist on/off, making it an ideal light for all outdoor enthusiasts.

The slim, lightweight, and versatile design fits easily in a pocket or hangs discreetly when attached to a life jacket or backpack. The flexible lashing loops on the side allow for multiple mounting options, including the webbing on a backpack or the straps on a life jacket. The Velcro® strap can be secured around the lashing loops and creates countless additional mounting possibilities.

The light also comes with a clip designed to conveniently slide over an inflatable life jacket’s oral inflation tube.

Signal Mirror 

This mirror reflects light in order to get attention for help.

WW-3 ResQ™ Whistle

Get attention when it’s needed with the WW-3 ResQ™ Whistle. This compact survival whistle was specially developed to locate boaters who’ve fallen overboard, but it can also aid in land rescues. The WW-3 ResQ issues a shrill dual-tone up to 100 decibels, which is audible over great distances.

The unique, flat design of this whistle keeps it from holding water, and its 31.5-inch (80-cm) lanyard easily attaches to life jackets, rafts, and other weather gear. To top it all off, this rescue whistle was built to meet USCG requirements.
