Our U.S. Coast Guard approved Life Ring Buoy is a must-have for recreational or commercial use. Dont leave the dock without it! Constructed with a durable, vinyl-coated nylon skin over a urethane foam core, this Ring Buoy will last season after season. The rope is looped and securely bonded inside the molded core so it is almost impossible to tear out. There are no straps to wear or deteriorate and the unique design allows the rope to stand out in a ready position making it easier to grasp in the water.
