Frequently Asked Questions
Inflatable or foam PFD?
Inflatable PFDs are low-profile and comfortable for all-day wear but require inflation and are not for non-swimmers or some activities, while foam vests are always buoyant and simpler. Choose based on your activity, comfort, and who wears it, and confirm the approval.
How should a life jacket fit?
A PFD must fit snugly to work. Match the size and type to the wearer's weight and chest size, then adjust the straps. Lift the shoulders to check it does not ride up over the head. Use child and infant vests sized for the youngest aboard.
How many life jackets do I need?
You need a properly fitted, Coast Guard approved wearable PFD for every person aboard, which is a legal requirement. Make sure you have the right sizes for adults, youth, and children, plus a throwable device on larger boats. Confirm the rules for your boat.
