When selecting a PFD, choose the right one for you, your planned activities, and the water conditions you expect to encounter. Consider where you will be boating and what kinds of boating you will be doing. You may in fact need more than one PFD. No matter which PFD you choose, be sure to get one that is right for you, and make certain that it is U.S. Coast Guard approved for a person of your size and weight.
Type 1 - Also known as an offshore lifejacket
Type II - Also known as a near-shore lifejacket
You will probably want a Type III PFD, Also known as a flotation aid, Type III personal flotation devices are intended for calm, inland waterways and circumstances when prompt rescue are likely. Type III PFDs are designed to offer maximum comfort and freedom of movement (i.e. watersport jackets and vests), but require users to place themselves in a face-up breathing position in the water. Provides the same minimum buoyancy as Type II PFDs.
When selecting a PFD, size is very important. It must fit properly to work properly, so you must make sure PFDs are the right size for the individuals who will wear them. The U.S. Coast Guard weight guidelines are:
Infant (0-30 pounds)
Child (30-50 pounds)
Youth (50-90 pounds)
Adult (over 90 pounds)
While determining correct fit, it is also important to consider comfort. A personal flotation device should be sufficiently snug to prevent the user from slipping down, but if it is too tight it will be uncomfortable and will likely be removed. Follow the adult sizing guidelines for each product to find the PFD best suited to your body type.
