    In [author, Ann. Probab. 17, No. 4, 1546-1570 (1989; Zbl 0692.60016)] a new method to study the tails of a sum of independent mean zero Banach- space valued random variables have been developed. The method was based on isoperimetric inequalities for product measure. In the paper under review a new isoperimetric inequality is proved and an improvement of the basic estimate of a tail of a sum of independent random variables from the previous paper is given.
