ACR Electronics 2381 GlobalFix V5 EPIRB AIS Survival Kit with RapidDitch Bag

The ACR GlobalFix V5 EPIRB Survival Kit provides a comprehensive collection of emergency rescue equipment designed for serious offshore boaters, sailors, and cruisers. This all-in-one safety package combines satellite rescue technology with essential survival gear in a portable, water-resistant bag.

Kit Includes:

• GlobalFix V5 AIS Category 2 GPS EPIRB with Return Link Service
• RapidDitch Express floating bag (holds up to 15 lbs of gear)
• HemiLight 3 automatic survivor locator light
• C-Strobe H2O water-activated strobe light
• Signal mirror for visual signaling
• WW-3 ResQ whistle (100 decibel dual-tone)

GlobalFix V5 EPIRB Features:

The centerpiece of this kit is ACR's advanced GlobalFix V5 EPIRB, which transmits on both 406 MHz satellite frequencies and AIS VHF channels when activated. This dual-transmission capability alerts the global Cospas-Sarsat satellite rescue system while simultaneously broadcasting to nearby AIS-equipped vessels for faster local response. Return Link Service (RLS) technology provides visual confirmation that your distress signal has been received by rescue authorities. Additional features include a 121.5 MHz homing beacon, built-in GPS for precise location reporting, visible and infrared strobe lights, and Near Field Communication (NFC) for smartphone monitoring via the ACR mobile app.

RapidDitch Express Bag:

The water-resistant, reflective RapidDitch Express bag keeps all survival gear organized with dedicated pockets, tethers, and loops. The buoyant design floats with up to 15 pounds of equipment. The innovative shoulder strap detaches and converts into two 4-foot safety harnesses that can be clipped to life jackets to keep survivors connected in the water.

Additional Safety Equipment:

The HemiLight 3 automatic survival light attaches to any life jacket and activates automatically upon water contact, providing 20+ hours of high-intensity flashing LED illumination. The C-Strobe H2O offers 45-lumen LED output for up to 120 hours and activates either by water contact or manual twist switch. The included signal mirror reflects sunlight for long-distance visual signaling, while the WW-3 ResQ whistle produces a 100-decibel dual-tone signal audible over great distances. The whistle's flat design prevents water retention and includes a 31.5-inch lanyard that meets USCG requirements.

This survival kit is essential safety equipment for any vessel venturing offshore or into remote waters where rapid rescue response is critical.
