Frequently asked questions
Are inflatable life jackets as safe as foam?
Approved inflatables meet the same standards when armed and maintained. Foam vests need no servicing and are better for weak swimmers.
How should a life jacket fit?
It should be snug and stay in place when you raise your arms. A loose vest can ride up in the water.
