Choosing the Right Life Jackets

Safety First

Life jackets are a must for all types and levels of watersport activities. No one plans to have an accident. And the most common mistake is to think that strong swimmers don't need to wear life jackets. However, even strong swimmers who are injured or unconscious can drown. Nine out of 10 drownings occur in inland waters, most within a few feet of safety and involving boats less than 20 feet long. Most drowning victims had access to life jackets, but did not wear one. Life jackets can save your life – but only if you wear it!

Life Jacket Types

Life jackets are categorized by Type in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations, i.e. Type I, II, III, IV or V. Read our article on U.S. Coast Guard Life Jacket Ratings for a detailed explanation of the different types of life jackets and their intended uses. While there is no such thing as perfect life jackets, the ideal life jackets are ones that you will wear. It should be comfortable, provide a secure fit, and offer maximum freedom of movement.
