Before your next boating excursion or watersports day, it’s important to double check the condition and fit of your life jackets. Every member of the family, from adults to children and even pets, should have an appropriately fitting life jacket when spending time on the water.
Life Jackets vs PFDs
PFD stands for personal flotation device. While PFDs come in many different forms, a life jacket is actually the most common variety. Many water sports enthusiasts use the terms life jacket and PFD interchangeably.
Life Jacket Styles and How They Vary by Use
The best PFD for you depends on your intended activity. The U.S. Coast Guard offers five different category types to help you find the best option for your activities.
Type I
These are the most buoyant PFDs. They’re designed for offshore or remote waters, and they’re often used on ships or during ocean-bound excursions.
Type II
Often called nearshore PFDs, Type II life jackets are suitable for calmer inland waters where quick rescue is likely. They come in various styles, including vests and horseshoe shapes.
Type III
These are designed for active water sports like kayaking, canoeing, or water skiing. Type III vests are comfortable and provide freedom of movement for rowing or enjoying sports.
Type IV
Designed for emergency situations, these PFDs are throwable devices like ring buoys or float cushions. They are not wearable and are meant to be thrown to someone in distress.
Type V
These are special-use PFDs for specific activities like paddle sports, windsurfing, working in marine environments, or broad commercial activities. They often have unique features tailored to these activities.
Selecting Life Jackets by Fit
Life jackets come in a few different fit categories. At Scuba.com, we sell unisex life jackets for adults, life jackets for women, life jackets for kids, and life jackets for pets. You can also select the right life jacket by weight class. You should always make sure your life jacket is rated for the weight of the person using it, and make sure it fits snugly.
The Right Life Jacket for You
Whether you prefer a life jacket that automatically inflates, one that inflates with the right water pressure, one that you manually inflate, or one that needs no inflation, it’s always a good idea to shop for your next PFD with a reputable brand. PFDs from companies like O’Brien, Mustang Survival, Connelly, Hyperlite, and NRS are all worth considering before you head out on the water.
