Buying Guide | Life Vests (PFDs)
Life Vests
- Regardless of the type of activity or the level at which you perform, life vests are an absolute must for any watersports activity.
- Life vests are worn similar to a regular jacket. They usually provide a zipper or buckle closure system, with some jackets often utilizing both.
- Three types of flotation products are present for life vests: foam, inflatable, and hybrid.
- Foam - This is considered to be the most reliable by the USCG. It is designed for both swimmers and non-swimmers.
- Inflatable - Intended for swimmers only, inflatable flotation products are the most compact of the three types.
- Hybrid - A reliable selection by the USCG, it is also designed for both swimmers and non-swimmers.

Of additional importance is the necessity to test your PFD in shallow water or guarded swimming pool. This will help to insure that the fit is appropriate and the PFD is in working condition.
Also, always take the necessary steps to inspect the condition of your equipment before taking part in any watersports related activity. Finally, it is vitally important that you be certain you have enough life vests aboard your boat to accommodate every passenger.
