DESCRIPTION
The ResQFlare Electronic Distress Flare Safety Kit provides the gear necessary to keep you safe, and enable you to signal for help, should you face an emergency when on the water. The ResQFlare comes with a daytime distress flag and when carried together, these two items meet the applicable U.S. Coast Guard requirements allowing them to be carried in lieu of traditional pyrotechnic flares (the U.S. only).
