Life Jacket

Life Jacket, also known as a personal flotation device (PFD), is an essential safety garment designed to keep the wearer afloat in water, providing buoyancy and stability in emergency situations. Constructed from buoyant foam materials such as polyethylene or PVC foam, and often covered with durable, water-resistant nylon or neoprene, life jackets are engineered to support the head above water even if the wearer is unconscious.

Available in various types—including Type I (offshore), Type II (nearshore), Type III (flotation aids), and Type V (special-use)—pool and recreational life jackets are typically Type III, offering comfort and freedom of movement while ensuring safety. They feature adjustable straps, buckles, and zippers for a secure fit, and are designed in bright colors with reflective strips for high visibility.

Ideal for weak swimmers, children, boating activities, kayaking, and as a supplementary safety measure in public pools, water parks, and training facilities, life jackets are a non-negotiable safety item in aquatic environments. They are tested and certified to meet international safety standards such as USCG, ISO, or CE.

Regular inspection for wear, tear, and buoyancy retention is essential. Proper storage away from direct sunlight and chemicals extends their lifespan. By offering reliable flotation and reducing the risk of drowning, life jackets play a vital role in water safety education, recreational activities, and emergency preparedness.
