- Should be easy to handle during overhaul and
repacking.
- Should not require too much force to release or
inflate the life raft, but it’s equally important that it doesn’t inflate by accident.
- The inflating line needs to have the shortest way
possible inside the valise to prevent tangle.
- Should be crash safe.
