yes..the cylinders are about twenty five quid. Plenty about on line, depending on the make of your jacket.

Yes, just blow it up using the tube.

But I'm guessing that you mean a C02 auto lifejacket, if so then you will need a re-arming kit consisting of the correct size cyl. and probably a new trigger device.

The Cylinders come in different sizes, so DO NOT BIN THE OLD ONE before you have replacements in your hot little hand.

I would not set out with a lifejacket without having at least one re-arming kit in the bag.

Does anyone ever send their jackets into the manufacturers for the recommended annual service?

Eh? - how often and why?

Did you realise that the cylinders are single use - the cylinder inflates the lifejacket ONCE ONLY ?
