FAQ

Life jackets are available in several types, including foam, inflatable, and hybrid. Foam life jackets offer buoyancy without inflation, ideal for beginners. Inflatable ones require manual or automatic inflation and are compact. Hybrid combines both features for versatility.

Life jackets should fit snugly to ensure safety. Check the size chart provided by manufacturers, considering your chest size and weight. A proper fit allows you to move comfortably without slipping over your head.

Life jackets are essential for water sports as they provide buoyancy. They keep you afloat in emergencies, reducing drowning risks. Wearing one ensures safety during activities like kayaking, sailing, or jet skiing.

Life Jackets: 3 things to consider before buying

When choosing life jackets, it's crucial to think about the buoyancy level. Life jackets come in different buoyancy ratings, which determine how much weight they can support in water. For example, if you're planning on using a life jacket for offshore activities or open water, you'll need one with higher buoyancy compared to those used in calm, inland waters. Always check the label for the buoyancy rating to ensure it meets your specific needs.

Getting the correct size and fit is essential for safety and comfort when using life jackets. Start by measuring your chest size and compare it with the manufacturer's sizing chart. A well-fitted life jacket should feel snug but not restrictive and should allow free movement of your arms. Remember, a life jacket that's too loose might slip off in the water, while one that's too tight could be uncomfortable.

Life jackets often come with various features that can enhance their functionality. Look out for options like reflective strips for visibility, pockets for storage, or a whistle for emergency situations. Some life jackets also offer adjustable straps or built-in harnesses for added security. Consider what features are most important based on your intended use of the life jacket.
