BackTow™ Technology: A Revolution in Safety

TeamO PFDs are the only inflatable harnesses on the market featuring the innovative BackTow™ Technology. This patented system is designed to protect the wearer in a man-overboard (MOB) situation while they remain tethered to the vessel.

Once inflated, the wearer can manually activate the BackTow™ handle, located on top of the right-hand lung. This action repositions the wearer into a face-up seated position in the water, allowing for safe towing alongside the vessel.

The BackTow™ strap serves as a strong attachment point, significantly reducing the risk of injury during recovery. With the use of a winch, even a small person can successfully recover a MOB wearing a TeamO PFD.

TeamO PFDs: The perfect combination of safety, innovation, and comfort for every boater and sailor.

The only inflatable PFD harness on the market with BackTow™ Technology. TeamO's patented BackTow™ technology functions in a MOB (man-overboard) situation when the wearer is still tethered to a vessel. 

After inflation, the wearer manually pulls the large BackTow™ handle that is available on top of the right-hand lung. The wearer is then turned into a face-up seated position in the water and they are towed alongside the vessel safely.

BackTow reduces the risk of injury during recovery by functioning as a strong point. A halyard can be clipped to any part of the BackTow strap and even a small person can then recover a MOB wearing a TeamO with the use of a winch.
