Pains Wessex Day and Night Flare Mk8 – 24-Hour Marine Distress Signal

When to Use

Remove the end cap, maintain a safe distance from the body, and sharply pull the toggle. Aim outboard and downwind, making it perfect for personal watercraft, kayaks, windsurfers, aviators, and divers (store in a waterproof bag or container).
