JoBe Life Jackets

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.
