Bright orange foam flotation, a universal adult fit for chest sizes 30 to 52 inches, and a single 1-inch belt that sizes up in seconds. Simple, approved, ready when you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AIRHEAD Type II keyhole life vest is the honest, do-the-job PFD you want stacked in the locker for every person aboard. It's U.S. Coast Guard approved, it's bright orange so a body in the water actually gets seen, and it fits a wide range of adults without any fuss. If you're building out your legal count of wearable flotation for a family boat, a pontoon, or a rental fleet, this is the kind of vest that checks the box and does it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's talk fit first, because that's what makes or breaks a passenger vest. This one is cut for adults with a chest measurement from 30 inches all the way up to 52 inches, and it's rated for anyone over 90 pounds of body weight. That's a genuinely wide window. One vest covers most of the grown-ups who'll ever step on your boat. The sides are open with a single 1-inch belt that cinches across the front, so getting sized up takes about two seconds. Slip it over your head, clip the belt, snug it down. Done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe keyhole design is the classic Type II layout, with a foam collar behind the neck and foam panels down the front, held in place by the open-side belt. Type II vests are built as near-shore buoyant vests, meant for calm or inland water where a quick rescue is likely. That's the right tool for a lake, a protected bay, a slow cruise on the river, or a day on the pontoon. It is not an offshore survival vest, and we'd never sell it as one. If you're running big water far from help, you want a Type I or a dedicated offshore setup. For everything closer to home, a Type II like this is exactly what the regulations have in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is polyester over foam flotation. Polyester holds up fine to sun and splash, and the foam gives you inherent buoyancy that doesn't rely on any inflation mechanism, cartridge, or maintenance. There's nothing to arm, nothing to service, nothing to forget. It floats because foam floats. That simplicity is exactly why these vests are the go-to for guests who've never worn a PFD in their life. Hand it over, and it just works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange is the color here, and that's on purpose. High-visibility orange is the standard for a reason. If someone goes in, you want the fastest possible visual pickup, whether that's you spotting them off the stern or a responder scanning the water. A dark, fashionable vest looks great tied to the rail and disappears the moment it's actually needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few honest notes on where this vest fits your kit. It's a wearable Type II, single vest per pack, so you're buying one at a time to build your count. Keep in mind that the open-side belt design is meant to be worn snug. A loose belt lets the vest ride up, which cuts down how well it does its job, so take the ten seconds to cinch it properly. And like any foam PFD, it'll last for years if you rinse it after salt exposure, let it dry fully before it goes back in the locker, and don't crush it under a pile of anchors all season. Store it dry, store it loose, and it'll be ready when you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Boaters who need reliable, approved, adult flotation without overthinking it. Rental operators and liveries who want a durable universal-fit vest that survives a lot of hands. Families who want a simple, bright, foam vest that any guest can figure out. It's basic gear in the best sense of the word. It does one important thing, it does it without drama, and it's Coast Guard approved to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSCG approved Type II keyhole design, built for near-shore and inland water where quick rescue is likely\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal adult fit covers chest sizes 30 to 52 inches, one vest fits most grown adults aboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for body weight over 90 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInherently buoyant foam flotation, nothing to inflate, arm, or service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolyester shell stands up to sun and spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen-side design with a single 1-inch adjustable belt for fast, tool-free sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-visibility orange for the quickest possible spotting in the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle vest per pack, build your onboard count one at a time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized AIRHEAD reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this AIRHEAD life vest Coast Guard approved?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
